Hi BigDawg and welcome to our 17 or Bust effort.

Welcome to our Green world of CRUNCH :D

Thanks for joining in.

Please say howdy on the foum some time & the team will introduce themselves. That can take a couple of days as we are all round the world.

Look forward to chatting with ya.

they apprear to either have a couple of AMD machines or maybe 1 pent.

u reckon they are gonna post or do we have another non-poster - i'm glad they picked us to join tho.

Given Bigdawg has two tests outstanding in SOB, it's a fair bet that they have at least two machines. The chart, which is notoriously wrong for me suggests they are pulling a bit over 1 meg...perhaps 2 Athlons?

[BigDawg]

Hi everyone, thanks for the warm welcome. I joined the team last night,.
I am running an Atholon64 3200 newcastle core. Just recently upgraded from an xp2500 so i am still getting used to this cpu. If I read the forum correctley the team goal is on SOB. If i am wrong please let me know.
It is 9:30 am my time in idaho so i will be around most of the day.

k, excellent.

1 thing on 17 do you know if you are using the standard client or the newer SSE2 client, as you have a 64 you can run the newer client which is significantly faster.

glad you joined :thumbleft: just wondering what made you pick us tho as oppose to any of the other teams?

[BigDawg]

I am running the new sse2 client, I seem to be doing a blk every 3 1/2 minutes on average. Dont know if this is good or not. In the last hour did 16 and a partial block. The main reason I picked this team besides being amd oriented, is that someone went to a lot of trouble to put this website and forum together. To me that shows a willingness to interact with your team mates. I also noticed that there was an amd user team on the boinc projects that i crunch. So after exploring this site and the team pages on the other projects I joined the amd users team. Sorry didnt mean to ramble, have about 2 pots of coffee in me.

Welcome BigDawg,

You ramble all you like. Sometimes it's nice to read a post that gets written as the mind creates it.

We have a presence is most DC projects. Clink the Stats link down the right hand side of the main page to see what we are running.

[BigDawg]

Thanks Ototero,
There was one other reason i forgot to mention. I read a post by
empty_5oul ( "yep, i prefer being small than having countless membersmany of whom are glory hunters, just adding themselves to the current 1st ranked team.") And that quote pretty much decided me.

[Ototero]

Compared to some teams, we are small, but friendly.

I see you've joined us in 17, CP and LHC. Have a look a TKC, you can run it along side anything without impact.

You'll appear in our stats as of tomorrow morning (UK time) when I update them,

[Empty_5oul]

i noticed after i changed the batteries in my optical mouse leycounter didnt like it and wouldnt count. for everyone else when you change batteries make sure to close and reopen the client.
