The old core (11) has been killed off, so 260's and the like now use the new core (15). I've seen a couple posts saying that they might actually get decent points, but I'll keep an eye out for more reports.
 


Yeah, your overtake was 3 weeks yesterday, this morning it's 4. Looks like you are getting the crummy WUs too?
 

Yeah I had a whole string of them yesterday, now I seem to be getting 8 hour WU's but at least the PPD estimates have gone up a bit.
 

I would love to work on scientific projects over the weekend, provided that I am proficient in what the team is doing and it does not involve too much differentiation at a desk.

*shutters at the thought of complex derivatives/*
 


Great work team! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Would an AMD X3 @3.2 and a GTX 250 be worth running for points.
Assign SMP2 with locked cores and run the 250 on the third core(locked?).
It appears possible in the setup but will it work?

Welcome back DoubleD :hello: O of course my favorite size :kaola:
 


Ehh, I'm just getting started.

Gonna swap these out for some 580-680 cards here after the holidays. Followed by one or more 16 core intel systems. I'm completely OK with the competition. In fact, I currently have some financial incentive to max my electric bill, so you better not hold anything back. :kaola:
 

Hurrah and huzzah! I'm completely maxxed at the moment and am waiting to see what the situation looks like once the WU issues are worked out.
 


Can you explain what you mean between the GTX and GTX ti?
 
In almost all areas the 660Ti is equal or faster (usually faster) than the 660. However, it always bugs me knowing that part of my prized chip is fused off and dead. Thus I'm happier with a fully enabled chip. However, I really chose the 660 for its lower price and power (only one PCI-E 6 pin power plug required).
 
Anybody running server 2008r2 with the 7.2.9 client? I get a "side by side configuration is incorrect" error message. technet says to update 2008 C++ redistributable but it didn't work for me. Nothing different on google. Perhaps I'll try a reinstall?
 
Start with x7560 and move up to 10 core chips later, plus 2 gpus.....is the thought anyway, get rid of. 3-4 other systems to help fund it. Those chips are cheap.Do you have a post with your full build on your beast? Pictures? Is it in a case?
 


sweet machine!

I might forgo server 2008 for ubuntu as well. You running the server version i assume?
 
I actually don't run Ubuntu on the 4P anymore, though that isn't by choice. Since the 4P runs double duty of Folding and ANSYS work I have to use CentOS on it (ANSYS works on CentOS but not Ubuntu). If you do pure folding I would definitely go Ubuntu over CentOS.

Back when I did run it I used the standard version (usually the newest one, though some prefer 10.10). I did do a little LGA 771 2P build recently, and on that I run server (with no GUI) and it works fine. If you do no GUI, you won't be able to install V7 Control, but everything else should work fine. I haven't been able to get folding at home remote control to work without V7 Control though. Due to issues with CentOS however, I am still running V6 on the 4P (CentOS and V7 Control don't get along).

When you do get your 4P (or 2P) we have some guides that might help:

Some parts of this only apply to AMD I think (such as Turion Power Control) but at least some of it might be helpful.
