Rc5

[Brucifer]

Amazing, just phu&*$g amazing.... on a couple of accounts.... first that it's now working, and secondly that they work so damn fast. Just rather fixating sitting here watching the gpu crunch those rc5 units. Thankyou to both AMDave and Bender10 for your help, I really appreciate it! I remember back to those years of watching the K5's crunching away on this and how long it took to accumulate any points. Now one of these gpu cards just hammers through them doing more work in a few hours than the whole farm did in a day.

It's going to be interesting to watch the distributed.net stats collation page on the breakdown of contribution by processor types.

So anyway, it's going on unbuntu 8.10, with the 177 driver on a 9800GT card. The card cost me $149 (before tax) at the local Best Buy. I stuffed it in the Phenom 9850BE system, using GA-MA78GM-S2H motherboard with 4gigs ram and an Antec Earthwatts 650w P/S.

It's also crunching ogr-26 on 3 cores, and I'm leaving one core open to take care of housework and feeding the gpu.

edit: looks like it's running through 24 units every 6 minutes plus the 3 ogr cores grinding.
