i think your right. I only do it every now and then(almost stopped is how rarely i do it now) but thanks for giving him the details

you have to smoke,when youre in a good mood
it makes everything even more fantastic (but be careful when smoking before working with hardware)
*yawn*
aww its 7.30 am here again... i didnt made it again...

 

[Flak]

crunch 100000 points, then enter your WCG account name under User CP -> Settings and Options-> edit Options
it should be right there!

Woot, got that.

fits you nicely

i have smoked before doing a pin mod on a Socket A rig... I failed. Burnt CPU doesn't smell so great

I'm having some problems on my main rig, I keep getting bsods out of nowhere so I'm returning my CPU to stock until I can figure out what is going on.

Welcome to the club
I'm having random crashes/reboots due to not enough power, but the new CX400w should be here tomorrow and those should go away

I'm still not sure what is going on with mine, sometimes it will only bsod after it's been idle for a while, and sometimes it will bsod when I'm just browsing the web . It's starting to get really annoying.......

maybe it has to do with your X3 running as a X4

I guess it could be, but it just started about a week ago. It passes every single stress test that I have tried and it still does it, it really only seems to do it when it's been idle for a while which has me confused on what it could be.

try running it as a X3 and see how it goes. Just because it passes stress test doesn't mean its stable as it doesn't test all possible factors If could also be a software problem. BSOD aren't always hardware(sometime i forget that)

I'll have to test that later, right now I put it at stock speeds to see if it does it again. I think it might have something to do with windows, because I was running Ubuntu earlier this week and it was running fine.

Had a little time for testing this weekend and decided to kick it up a notch.

me too... but there must be better things to come... cant intel license HT to AMD?

that would be the shit! I could see AMD tweaking HT and making it even better then it is now. HT on an AMD would be great Phenom II HT 976

then they have to redesign the SOI technology... the Phenom cant stand the high Temperatures, HT induces, till now. the new HKMG process is much more heat resistant.
but hey, i want that amd octacore with HT. TDP: 140 watt.

that would be a good answer to the i9 thats for sure. Maybe AMD could find a way to make it so the HT doesn't make the CPU run as hot..What causes CPUs with HT to run so hot anyways?

i dont can tell you why, but somewhere the performance must come from. i never heard someone speaking detailed about HT.
its a very old technology... i believe intel dug it out, due to their inability to built hexacores at first... and remembering of the times, where a XP3200+ fucked a 3.73 ghz p4 in its ass
they had to use it, because otherwise their crappy P4´s never would have had a single chance

i rememeber some reviews that the P4 got ass raped by the AXP in almost everything. Too bad AMD doesn't get back to that. They need something to rape the i7 and i5 they already have the PII that takes care of the older quads and fairs well against the i5. the Athlon II is good for the low-end C2Q and the i3(is it still going to be released?) I hope bulldozer is a beast after how long they have been working on it. Its supposed to be nothing like the Athlon,Phenom or Phenom II. They really need a kick ass chip. I'm not saying that the PII or AII are shit or anything because they are far from it. The highend PII even touches the i7 in somethings.That tells me that AMD can be neck to neck with intel at the least.

it has its causes, that amd wont talk about it, i believe. they want intel standing like dumb with their much too expensive i9´s

I got my Socket A board today. Soon I will install WCG on it. Should be adding ~200PPD with the Athlon XP 2200+

That sounds about right, that's what I get on the Pentium M laptops (1.4 & 1.6ghz)

Good day to all! Just wanna ask ION, how many points do you think a Pentium M 780 running at 2.26GHz would do? Maybe I can add my lappy to the team! BTW, my main rigs running for 56 hrs now straight! Never did this before but I know its for a good cause so let me worry bout the electric bill later! Crunching is like Pringles man! Once you pop, you cant stop! Hope many more crunchers would join the caravan! Crunch on!

Probably ~300/day (about 66% better than my 1.4ghz Pentium M)

Thanks Ion!
