Sorry bout the off topic. Partion, roflmaoswom. I'm definetly upgrading to firefox 2.0 beta, i don't care if it disables my extensions. My spelling is really that awefull.

Well that was random.
Why not wait for FF2.0 final? So anxious to try out 2.0?

And can we get back on-topic? I apologize for going off-topic for a bit back there.

Much better! :D I heard that you can reset the project, so it thanks you have a new cruncher and gives you more wus, then merge them. :D Is BoincStudio still in French only?

**gamer007** · 07-13-2006, 02:00 AM

Nope, there's English. I heard it selects the language your currently using, but it started in French for me once.

But I think there's a tab where you can switch languages.

EDIT: I'm doing a little bit of basic maths here and to be able to break the 150 wu/core/day quota you'd have to crunch them at an average of less than 10 minutes each.

NeoGen On the dual core I crunch 2 WUs in 12 minutes (1 per core) and with a total limit of 150 I run out of work in about 15 hours. I think I should have researched this project a bit more but time is tight here. She who must be obeyed is having about half the house rebuilt around me and the builder has trice drilled through power cables. dAVE :hathat3:

IM BACK! Now to get BOINC up and ready to *hopefully* keep my 1st place. :twisted:

I recovered 90% of my data. I lost several Family Guy episodes and some music. Hopefully nothing else.

The XPS dual core T2600 takes less than 8 minutes each.

WOW, wish I could afford one,

Doesn't a dual core act like a dual cpu setup? Their quota is 150 wu/cpu, and dual cores show up on the user pages as 2 cpus. You should be getting 300 workunits a day, 150 per core.

**dAVE** · 07-13-2006, 05:21 PM

The FAQs say that the limit is per core but they also say that the limit is 45 per core so they must be out of date. It's no great problem as it gives me some time to run some Einstein units as well. dAVE
