    500K in FreeHAL

    I finally managed to get to the big 500K!

    Even running 25 instances, it still takes a bit on only 1 machine.

    Well done NeoGen. Maybe you need a virtual machine too? Not sure if this will work for you but it might.

    500K in FreeHAL

    Congrats NeoGen, Yes Virtual Machines would be nice if the old systems could/would handle the tasks like the new i7. Oh dear my I mentioned the competition.

    Yea, getting a virtual machine would add alot of points. But virtual machines are memory hogs and windows is running close to the limit, that's why I haven't done it yet. I need to think about getting more RAM.

    Made the 500k in FreeHAL today, mainly because I've set it to run on every core/thread per CPU.

    Now that you mentioned That Dirk, I am looking to change my parameters too. Yet I am not getting satisfaction when I attempt to change the settings, maybe IE as a web browser is the problem? Oh and nice achievement there in FreeHal.!!!

    750k in FreeHAL today, again mainly because I've set it to run on every core/thread per CPU.
    That way I had at least 1 WU per CPU the last weeks. A lot of manual attention also helped,
    as the WUs were not automatically up- or downloaded. Now everything seems back to normal,
    apart from the merry christmas wishes as new WUs temporary dry out.

    I crossed a 1M not too long ago also because I set my FreeHAL preferences like that too. 1 WU per core made my score shoot through the roof!
