Real numbers only starts at sextillion and above.

WUs take about 24 hours on my slow computer.

I switched one shrubber from Folding to Collatz.

Is there any way to get BOINC to run under a regular account? Why does a simple number crunching program need an administrator's account? The box was checked during installation to allow anyone to control it and I even used the properties box under the administrator account to change permissions to everyone, but under a regular account I don't have permission to open it. Confused

Production is up - 512.4K crunched yesterday. We need to watch Poland, they're 5 million points behind, but currently out-producing us almost 150K daily...

I had an older ATI 2600 XT card that I am crunching with. It does a unit in just under 1.75 hours. I know it's not a lot, but at least it's a small amount of help, now that I got the dumb thing to work.

I know there are a ton of faster video cards that my 2600 XT, but does it really take nearly 1.75 hours on this or are there some setting tweaks I am missing?

I'm getting 1.1 hrs on my low-power (underclocked) GT240.

Anyone see this?

My 3 core CPU needs about 18 hours/ea so I may bail out of this one due to electrical/computational inefficiency... Maybe I need to buy one of those HD 4850'S...

I think we're in trouble, the Pollacks (are we allowed to say that anymore?) out HOTPO'd us by about 700K yesterday...

my G-force 9800GTX is 34 min
the 940 Deneb chip runs about 10 hours per core
and the lappy does one in about 4 hours on the onboard video

I put one of the 9800's in a friends comp that is not on the net right now and the loss is made up by the addition of 12 cpu cores, but just barely

I just put a Q9550/HD5770 shrubber to work on Collatz, 11.5min for the GPU.

I added my NVidia GT220 and this is slower than the ATI 2600 XT?

Gemjunkie · Posted: Sat Aug 07, 2010 1:41 pm Post subject:

The HD5770 was what I replaced the GT220 with, but I hadn't been using it for BOINC so can't compare.

Have just joined the fray a week late - a few more gpu's and cores to come when I get to work on Monday.

My HD5870 is taking 6.04 minutes, and my 8800GTX's are taking 58 minutes. Might be time to overclock the 8800's, although they're about to get a serious working over when I eventually get around to installing StarCraft II on the SLI box....
