Just had a good day shrubbing and I'm right on your tail Lloyd. Have any other projects you can pause to hold me off?

Keep dreaming! For some reason, I got no RAC on the 11th, but then 998 on the 12th

Well for the moment at least I'm showing ahead. We'll see if you shoot back up once things normalize

JerWA - you are too kind. Truth be told, it was just mindless bluster on my part, because he had already passed me so fast, I couldn't even feel the draft as he went by. His RAC seems to be running about 25% higher than mine. Short of some serious overclocking, and/or adding some CPUs to my garden (I can't properly call it a farm), he's going to keep pulling ahead.
To add insult to injury, for a couple of reasons, I lost pretty much an entire day of shrubbing, so I'm going to fall even further behind than that.

Eaving,
You've left my quite thoroughly "in the dust", but all is not lost. Within a week or so, I should have an actual farm going, which should greatly increase my RAC.
Not nearly enough to catch you, and I'm working on it.

*Grins* Would be good to have a race going on. I'm annoyed at the moment because I should have broken 100k about two weeks back now and I find myself still languishing at 93k waiting for the spice to flow
Into the top 10 for my join date again, will make it to second within a couple of months assuming no more issues. 1st will take me over a year. His daily figures are nothing impressive but he obviously never took a break and is at a hair over half a million shrubs.

Since my "join date" is actually a day they migrated over 20,000 users, the chance of me hitting 1st is nil. Top RAC is over 19,000... the top 15 sorted by RAC do more a day in SETI than I do total... highest credit is 14,000,000, and you have to drop all the way to 68th just to get below 1,000,000.

At that rate, I'm certainly going to be giving you any actual competition, at least not for quite some time.

I haven't checked my join date stats lately, though they were all in the low teens last time I looked.
The good news is, I should have my Opty online and shrubbing within the next two weeks or so. The bad news is, I seem to remember that Windoze XP Home doesn't support SMP, so I'm going to have to run it in the cheap ASUS mobo I bought as a package deal with the Opty (I will not swap that POS Asus board for the ABIT Fatal1ty SLI board in my primary rig).
Anyway, if the Opty has to go in the Asus board, I can't count on getting any OC out of it. On the other hand 2 X 2.0 gHz cores, each with 1 MB L2 cache, should be a pretty formidable shrubber.
If it weren't for a couple of Windoze apps I'm attached to, I'd just switch that box over to Linux right now and be done with it. As it is, everything I build from now on will run on Linux Windoze Vista was the last straw for me.

Ive been getting regular shrubs for a bit now and my RAC should finally be crossing 1000 a day again tomorrow or the day after. Just looking forward to getting into the top 5 on my join date semi-soon. I think about a month or so until then.

Cray, no; But we have people running SERIOUS H/W here. Check out msattler's farm:
msattler
He's running a 24,000+ RAC. A Core 2 Quad help (I believe he's thinking about a second one!) and a bunch of Core 2 duals.

If it's all SETI it's the optimized apps. I'm doing about 800/day out of my Core 2 E6400 on a stock clock and only one core given to the project. If I could overclock I could easily push 2,000/day out of this machine and it's fairly low on the Core 2 hierarchy. Even with just the 3 I have access to, I'd be doing 6,000/day give or take a few hundred. Given that it only costs about $500 to build a computer to my specs today, it wouldn't be that hard to start farming them. Get into the more serious stuff like the quads or the extremes and the sky is the limit.

Given that I'm way too Scots to spend that kind of money on a dedicated shrubber (I don't think I have near that much in even my main machine), I'll just struggle on as I am

Well yeah, but we're talking about someone with a RAC north of 20,000! Obviously they are more dedicated than a casual user hehe. I can't afford that kind of power on my own, and have no access to it externally as of yet, so I'll just keep trucking along as I am. I do have some more systems I should be able to get online but I've been trying for months with little progress.
Computers are a hobby of mine, but so are cars. I'm also getting back into skating (as in roller, quads not inlines) and need to save up $365 plus shipping very very soon. At any rate, any money I come into right now will go to bills, skates, cars, and computers in that order. So it will be awhile before there's much movement in my BOINC "farm."
I do still have high hopes to upgrade by the end of the year. It likely won't be as uber as I was planning before, maybe just an E6700 or so, but the XP3k will still be a full time shrubber, as will this E6400, and the E6700 will overclock nicely. I think it'll bring a nice 1,000+ RAC gain, which would be satisfactory. When I upgrade again, to a QX6700, I will likely bump down the XP3k to replace the P4 1.3GHz, and would likely see a 2,000 gain in RAC. Those two changes, both of which should take place in the next 12 months, will put me at or just above 5,000 RAC on a steady basis (right now I waffle from 2,800 to 3,500 depending on what the remote systems are doing).
