Ok guys, I installed 17 or Bust on one machine, and I don't know much about it. :roll:

great, all you have to do is enter your details into the program itself and then your away :P

to increase production when you leave the computer eg overnight click config and set it to normal priority, jist means it gets those cycles quicker lol.

Ok, I put it on several machines. :)
As long as it's running 99% of cpu, why change the priority?

If you are trying to use the machine (for surfing etc) it will seem sluggish when SoB is set to Normal.

Set it to Low, then back to Normal when you're not using it.

I have one main machine that I use to surf, and I'll just leave it as is on that one.

I can set the others to normal.

k it makes little difference overall,

if on normal it automatically get the CPU cycles whereas on idle it requests them and if say you open a game or IE browser they would obviously need them so nothing would be taken.
setting it to low means it eventually gets it all but initially only take a smaller % of the processor - though if the rest isnt taken it has that aswell.

just looking at your stats LP they are pretty sweet:
http://marcc.no-ip.org/SoB/User.php?User_ID=7962

if you can push anything like 17,000 every hour you will be jumping the ranks pretty quick. - you can see this as in the past hour you jumped almost 1,000 ranks which is pretty impressive for the first day :thumbleft:

I have to admit, I don't know much about how to read the stats yet.

I put 13 out of 16 machines on it, and I'll add those others as soon as they finish their projects.
I have a P4 in there, and at first had the same version running on it as the rest, but then saw the SSE2 version and installed it instead.

I little info on how to read the stats would be great. ;)

k on the official site the stats are pretty simple, you should understand them yourself.

on that link i posted earlier there more complex but again simple when you understand them.
team rank obviously current place in team
overall rank - place in world.
last hour - is your production in meg over the past hour, if you click your name you will see the time on the left at which the site was updated/refreshed
most of the rest explain themselves, follow the line along the top, you WILL get use to it and realise that 17,000 is a high score as you see when you compare yourself to other members.

Ok. I just wasn't sure about McEM, GcEm and TcEM thing, but I see it's hourly, daily, and monthly.

;)

I still have 2 machines to add to SoB. ;)

just pointing out that is meg/whatever, gig/whatever and terabytes/whatever.
each being a thousand greater than the last as in byte, kilobyte, megabyte etc.

50meg/hour = you are currently processing and returning 50 megabytes of work per hour.

LP

yes, I got that too. :)

I also see where SSE2 makes these things smoke. ;)

Empty_5oul

its gd,

smoke is good too if it means increased production lol :P,
i dotn have any P4 or AMD 64's atm do i cant try it but i will eventually lol :P
you have quite a collection of comps there, pretty impressive - our stats should increase a bit due to that.

overall i reckon now at max power 100% machines on SOB we could hit 5 tera a day, we were up in the fours quite comfotably and LP has added an extra "sting".

LP does your name have any relation to linkin park or is it just ladypcer

I have one machine that keeps freezing up. I think I'll try switching out the ram, if that doesn't work then it must be the cpu.
I have trouble with this machine freezing while running F@H once in while too. :roll:

LP I have a machine that likes to freeze up too. I sorted out the issue - it was overheating. I took the side off the PC case and let more air in and adjusted the room air con to 22C. I also clean any dust off the cpu cooler, motherboard, power supply, ram etc with "Dust a way" compressed air in a can. I always switch off PC and unplug from power when I do this housekeeping as the propellant gas says its flammable. :shock:

Just noticed I had 2 machines dump the wu they were working on and get new wu's. One was at 46% the other at 54% complete. :bad-words:

SB2 - you need to follow the "Lost test recovery" thread.

yep, its good.
you'll soon have reached your first terabyte :thumbleft:

ototero i see your still gaining on me, i need to get some new machines lol within the next few days so i can put a better fight that i currently am lol.

B, have you considered CapCal. I hear they pay 10c a day.

What is that??? Is it like Gomez or something??

It has happened again on 2 different machines. :violent1: :bad-words: :cry:

Yes - and it pays a whopping 30c an hour (but only when they want to use your bandwidth).
