Hello cicide. Welcome to the team. :wav:

Nice work on CPDN and SETI. In any other projects besides the 3 listed BOINC projects? What are your computer specs running the projects?

Welcome cicide, glad you joined us. Have fun :!:

Welcome to the forums Chris! (read your name on the sig) :P

You're like me, and surely almost everyone else here. I also lurked around the forums for a while before I joined. :)

And don't worry, your crunching will help us out plenty for sure! Don't know how many machines you got available, but me with only one machine (AMD XP 2000+) am still the top ranked on the Team on PrimeGrid and Burp! :P

And we got an extensive array of projects that we participate in. If you're like me that can't stand to crunch for the same project for too long, just take your pick on the list. :)
And if you find a project that is not listed on the stats, or that we're not crunching for, post here on the forums about it and I'm sure our admin Vaughan or our statsman Ototero will take care of it quickly ;)

All in all, just have fun DC'ing! That's what we're here for. Everyone here runs the projects they like the most. But if you would like to participate, we have a kind of priority project plan going on. Right now the two priority projects for the team are Predictor@Home (BOINC) and DNet OGR25/RC5-72 (non-BOINC).
If you would like to know more about it, read this thread:

Have fun! :)

Welcome to the team! :) I'm sure you'll find, as I have, that its very friendly around here. If there is anythingwe can help you with, just let us know.

Thanks for the great welcome! For Gamer, here is a short list of the systems I have crunching now:

1 AMD 64 X2 4800+
1 AMD Opteron 242 (two procs)
2 AMD XP 3000+
1 AMD MP 2800+ (two procs)

Also I have:

1 P4 3.0
1 P4 2.6
1 P4 2.2
1 P3 1.0
1 Xeon 2.8G (2 procs)

Systems get added and removed somewhat often as they tend to get re-tasked .

To answer another question, I only have concentrated on Seti and CPDN. I tossed in Einstein recently when seti was down and CPDN would have problems on the X2 4800 machine (I still don't run CPDN on that system because it causes it to freeze up for some reason)

Welcome Chris,

You certainly have some fire-power :shock:

How do you rate the duallys?


p.s. You are in the Team stats pages already. Find the link on the home page.

hi.

nice setup.

same question as ototero really - how do you rate the 4800+ as oppose to the 3000+. much difference. are they running the same operating systems?

[cicide]

Both the XP 3000's and the 4800 are running RedHat FC4. The 3000 systems are champs, they eat anything I throw at them. The 4800 however seems less than perfectly stable. I think this is more an issue of the linux x86_64 binaries than anything else however.

Processing power wise, if I had good 64 bit binaries, the X2 system I think would significantly out-perform the two 3000s together. However just running the 32 bit basic binaries (I never could get the 64 bit seti binaries to work right) it looks to be in the same ballpark as the two 3000s put together.
