    We've moved up to #64 with 2,291,377 credits.

    Looks like it's going to be another great day for milestones.


    JohnWayne please move to the right and prepare to be passed. I'm trying to chase down Laurenu2. He can run but he can't hide.

    I have pulled over, but watch out, I may have absolutely no way to catch up.

    I have had only one problem and that was with an Nvidia card. One GPU got stuck running it's first work unit. It was there for almost 9 hours with 0% done. I aborted, updated the drivers with the exact same driver and it has been fine since.

    The odd thing I have noticed is that my ATI's take 26 and 30 minutes to complete a WU compared to my Nvidia's that take 9 minutes. Yet, my ATI's are out scoring the Nvidia's by 3 times. They must have combined multiple WU's because the ATI's are so fast.

    Run Lauren, run.


    Bok and Andy Brady bite the dust.


    Bok you suggested this project. Where are you?

    If I understand what I read, there are different WUs for different cards. There are smaller one for less capable cards that get about 1500 credits and larger ones for cards like the 5850 that get about 5000 credits.


    1,410,114 so far today. Possibly a new single project record.

    Well, still having errors - so far 5 out of about 82 WU, so right around 6% error rate. Not sure what the deal is, but at least it still continues to crunch new WU's.

    Looking at the WU's, other people are erroring out on them as well, so I'm guessing it's something wrong with the WU's themselves, not necessarily my computer/video cards.

    I wonder that here are no big complains regarding credit stealing against this project as it was in the past against me.
    Is it because dnetc@home is paying much more credits?
    Or what is different or better?
    I'm a bit confused.

    I think you will find that the only one who complained is not involved in this challenge and has made no posts here. This was started to have a little fun and friendly competition. I don't know why you feel the need to turn this sour and I don't care.

    OK Laurenu2, we've tipped the Cows.

    Which team should we shoot for next?

    Laurenu2 your in luck for now. One of my 4890s isn't playing and I won't be able to do anything until Thursday.
