AMD Users Performance Contest - Spring 2005 (Finished!)

On Grub, does CPU resource percentage effect how fast it crawls?

I thought it only affected the occasional data packets it crunches.

Any answers?

GRUB is purely a bandwidth critter. I run mine at CPU resource 100% but it never uses more than a few percent of CPU every now and then.

Bandwidth is a different story...it will use it all if you let it. I have to keep mine backed off a little so can still have a little bandwidth left for other things like DIMES, GOMEZ, and just surfing and getting email. If I run grub wide open it will make it seem like I am back in the dial-up days.

Hope this helps

Yes it does. Thanks.

Damnit, Bruce how many PCs do you have grub on?

[Beerknurd]

how do you think he caught up with me so freakin fast. I just gave up and let him take first....

[Jeff]

I have 2 with fiber connection

[AMDave]

2 x Quad-Opterons ? LOL

Fiber.
Hmm.
Fiber.
as in speed of light data transmission?

Nope.
Never heard of it.

LOL

No wait time. That's pretty cool.

[Empty_5oul]

speed of light would be pretty gd, bit quicker than my 512 anyway.

Damnit, Bruce how many PCs do you have grub on?

Currently running it on 2 PCs with the bandwidth allowed divided equally. It does the same on just one PC if given the same amount of bandwidth to play on...have it on 2 just in case one decides to quit.

[Empty_5oul]

what speed did you say the connection was ?? (2meg rings a bell but that could be someone else).
