TPR Challenge

[Strongbow]

I was going to put some of my old computers on this but can't find a version that runs on TRS-DOS. :cry:

I have got a Model I, a Model III and three Model IVs. Here is a link to drool over. The power is intoxicating. And on top of everything else I have the optional cassette tape drive for my Model I.

That takes me back! I remember following those systems closely, never got one though! ...I ended up instead with a Comart Communicator running CP/M and MP/M on a Wyse50 Terminal! Great stuff! If I had F@H then it would probably still be crunching the first WU!

I sometimes think computers aren't changing that fast but all you have to do is look back 12 years and realize we didn't even have Windows 95 yet!

In another 10-15 years when we all have quantum computers will there be any DC projects? We could do all the work for a project on one persons laptop probably.

I've just started a WU that will end in 2009

Will the competition last that long :roll:

[Keith75]

Are you serious? What speed is that machine? Did you make sure it is using SSE with the -forceasm flag?

[Empty_5oul]

the estimated time seems to always be massivley inflated.

[Ototero]

It's an Athlon 2400+ 512ram, nothing else running.

The estimate is now down to Aug 9, this year. It took a long time for the estimate to drop.

Well, I was going to give you guys a chance by only running with a couple of boxes, but Ive been issued with a stompage warning over at TPR. :roll:

Those who know me, will understand that The Nightlord does not take such things lying down; I feel sorry for you really........... most of the farm is switching over to F@H tonight. :eeeeek:

See you in month's time!

Alea iacta est.

Ooo! a small gauntlet has just been thrown at our feet!

[Superzerocool]

A Stupid question... What SO is better for procesing the W.U: Linux or XP?. I have two OS in my computer and F@H is running in my XP at 1% en 30 minutes (I have a W.U of 4M of steps).

My team decide the next OS that I run the next W.U. in the race...

(Sorry for the spanglish ;))
