    Out with the old. In with the new. What will YOU do?

    Another year has come and gone. Another year stands before me. Will it be filled with promise, success, and gratification? Or will it be filled with trials, tribulations, defeat and regret? These things I cannot know, I should not know, I do not know. What it will be, is a year...

    Latest WCG branded/Boinc Software Version Thread

    I thought I'd start a thread to keep all the WCG crunchers up to date on the most current WCG branded client as well as the latest "recommended" Boinc version. For those that want the bleeding edge, I'll keep an ongoing tab on Boinc betas as well. This post will be updated with the latest...

    A look at Nehalem actual crunching numbers

    Both F@H and WCG numbers on an ES Nehalem. Something to drool over and think about for future upgrades. I thought it was interesting to see some "relevant" real world numbers that pertain to us. 5000ppd running dual SMP on 2653's and almost 7200ppd with an SMP client and GPU with a 9600GSO...

    When is a 9600GSO not a 9600GSO?

    When Nvidia marketing slugs spend a bit too long at the kool-aide kooler kibitzing and planning. Heads up for anyone not aware that Nvidia is re-packaging/re-releasing the 9600GSO with a new core and shader count. Many (including some of our newer brethren and sistren) have come to take for...

    WCG may be down... just an FYI

    I just got in from an overnight shift and as usual checked on the farm before hitting the rack for some serious sack time. What do I find? I've got 12 completed WU sitting in my queue with "uploading" status next to them. Hmmmm.. check my logs and sure enough, it looks like not one out of 4 PCs...

    WCG FAAH 4378 series issue

    Since starting up with WCG, I've gotten in the habit of checking my results status on My Grid page about once a week filtering on Result Status "error" or "invalid" as a way to monitor my clients for problems. I found one yesterday from a run of FAAH on 9/25 that resulted in an error so I...

    A little light at the end of the tunnel?

    I stumbled onto this thread at FCF and thought you ATI guys could use a bit of lovin' for a change... So while the points differential hasn't equalized, it looks like mhouston is getting close to releasing some updates that will greatly improve CPU utilization. Nice shot for ATI multi GPU...

    On the bright side...

    I popped open FahSpy this morning to check on the boxen and saw my output up 1000ppd. Nice. Got 2 new GPU WU 5504 and 5505 that have boosted production nicely! Enjoy these while they last!

    This is getting rather Roo'd

    I looked at the stats page today. This was rather shocking to say the least. We may have to make some serious room in the [H}ard|MowedOver Club if this keeps up. Their overtake is down to 1.6 years from 2.4 yesterday! I threw the past 13 days into my stats spreadsheet and here's how much...

    Mix & Match your GPUs

    After poking around looking for solutions to a couple of problems I've noticed with my Multi GPU setup, I've decided to start a discussion about one of the issues I found. It just might be that the [H]orde is leaving many hundreds if not thousands of PPD on the table due to this issue and our...

    New 1.08 core possible multi-GPU problem!

    I just got home from a 13 hr shift to a HUGH shock when I checked on m' babies. There's a new core (1.08) that was/is supposed to be "forced" on Monday that I got pushed on my multi-GPU rig tonight and what a shock. Secondary GPU production is down 46+% from a benchmarked 3787PPD (1:51 - 1:52...

    Not sure if anyone saw this yet or not. Vijay seems to back peddle some here. This might have been mentioned here already, but I didn't see it. A little FUD for the masses... :p;):D

    Released yesterday... just downloaded and will be trying this out after a "snapshot" of my 2 running VM Notfred CD images and a shutdown/reboot for some more Vcore stability goodness... Hopefully this will backup to USB properly. It looks like you can change/setup options at boot time. Forum...

    GA-EP35-DS3L and Notfred CD Weirdness...

    Slight problem trying to get System# 3 in my sig running naked, headless and diskless with NotFreds CD. First a little background. I recently upgraded my main Rig (Sys#1) to a Quad and the little E4300 was feeling lonely and dejected... So I picked up a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L to comfort the...

I'll be installing a...

    XFX 9600gt blank video bios @ boot

    Card is a stock XFX version (PVT94PYDF4) 9600GT and runs well, but noticed a weird issue. During bootup, there's no video bios info like bios version, card version, vram etc. Everything shows up normal in GPU-Z, but thought it was weird to be blank at bootup and was wondering if anyone else...
