    Talking Higher and Higher!!

    Well, I'm not sure exactly what started it, but we seem to have had real surge of interest after what seemed like a pretty long quiet spell...

    Check this out:



    Just a week or two ago, we were about 4th or 5th in the 'daily production' race. Yesterday we were firmly in second place with about 8 million more structures than the next team (AnandTech).

    THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO SEE!!!

    Add to that the fact that several of us are still continuing to ramp up (I'll be adding another 10 or 12 ghz this week), and we should be looking really good by the end of the week!

    I wonder how much heartburn we could give Ars if FoBoT and xj10bt were to come back for a visit?
    Anyone want to start a pool on how many days it would take xj10bt to catch our leader Condor?
    If Dyyryath can find our ole buddy in hiding that is.
    Did anyone notice Condor's ONE MILLION update on 1-27th at 1300? :shocked:
    Don't let Dyyryath catch you Condor!

    Yeah, Condor's obviously decided to make this as difficult as possible.

    We'll see what we see...I added another XP1600 last night and I just got shipping confirmation on three dual MP2200s. I've got another XP2400 that should ship tomorrow. Hopefully by Friday night or Saturday morning I'll be looking a little better.

    Please forgive me Dyy if I somehow gave you the impression that I would allow myself to be steamrolled so easily.

    Ironbits - I have you to thank for getting me hooked on Prime95, more machines that I cannot take off just yet.

    I would love to have FoBoT and xj back. The more the merrier.
    I really don't consider myself number 1 on the team - maybe number 1 with a big " * ".
    I surely would not have passed FoBoT.

    And a big to those who have returned or increased production > Angus, Chinasaur, Darkness Productions and JustinFields.
    And how could I forget Anarchy99, I guess I will be seeing you shortly.
    Apoligies in advance to anyone that I forgot.

    LOL!

    I'm glad to see you back in the fight, Condor!

    We'll see where we both sit once the weekend rolls around. If I'm still get trounced I may even be forced to load up some work machines...

    Food for thought FreeDC.

    Go to the all teams page and and sort by weekly production.

    Things will get interesting if the stats are zeroed.

    I too returned my home boxes to DF a few days ago. I'll look into adding more machines next week if possible. Decided to return to the most satisfactory project out there

    i'll keep my eyes open for more willing crunchers or available computers...

    the problem with friends crunching for you is that sooner or later they turn it off for one reason or another and forget to turn it back on. so i hit up some of them for more time a bit ago, but I was told by two separate friends on the same day that I seem to have an "unhealthy obsession" (exact words from both of them!) with this DC thing. I told them if they thought i was bad, they should come read this forum!

    "No thanks" was the unanimous response.

    normal people....

    <LOL> Scoofy12, all ya can do is lead them to the water...
    Remote pharming can be tough, especially during a heated gauntlet
    Doing DC is "unhealthy" for whom, us, or those afflicted... ?
    Don't let it get you down... it's kinda like being a 'door-to-door' salesman...
    lots of NOs and a rare YES now and again.
    Never give up!

    Way to go, Angus!

    Just keep on and on and on and on. As ZaphodB sez...

    "Half a billion here, half a billion there, pretty soon you're talking serious folding." ...or words to that effect.

    SCOOFY12: I just call up TaskManager or TaskInfo or the like and say, "See that 98% in System Idle Process? That could be 98% of YOUR CPU answering some of the BIG questions! Just like the idle task, it only runs when nothing else wants to, gets right out of the way for ANY other process, but in between, maybe solving the riddle of cancer or Alzheimer's or diabetes or AIDS. Costs you nuthin'! Maybe solves a big problem. Pumps the hell out of my score! So howzabout it?"

    Ya gotta sell the sizzle!

    OK, new modifications...
    Took the ASUS A7N8X nforce2 board, replaced XP2100 with an XP2600/333 with a stick of 512mb DDR Crucial XMS 2/2/2 and shoved it to 166(333) and it came right up!
    Took my ASUS A7V333, XP1800 and upgraded it to AMD XP2100+ with two sticks of 256mb Kingston Value Ram (333), set it up for 2/2/2 also running at 166.

    To my way of thinking that just means that all of your competition is already in front of you.

    Now Get Moving!
