This month's PrimeGird Challenge is going to be short, about 48 hours. The WUs are short as well. They say they have Windows apps for this client, but I have been unable to get those working, it works best with Mac and Linux clients. So I do not know how well we will do this Challenge. So if you can, because the August one will be another long WU Challenge.

My machine's all set to do the work (actually I kind of started early). I am going to suspend uploads about 24 hours before so that I can upload a bunch on those days.

Apparently there is an advantage to a 64 bit OS, so dust off your WUBI installs...

The Challenge is not even that long. I doubt they will even notice you are gone.

Already crunching, have a .01 cache, so maybe one per machine sits idle for a few while the others crunch. I have all cores on this, we'll see how well I do.

Just remember to PHinish up all the ones you already have,
so you can ask for more exactly when the Challenge starts... Cool

Same for me Pooh. I went ahead and started on the AP26 with my quads. They seem to like them, 800-900 seconds for 13.61 credit. Not great but it is ok. PG plays well with MW too. ALOT better than enigma.

I changed my preferences for my machines to run from 14:01 - 05:30. After 5:30, I suspended all projects and turned on the PrimeGrid work fetch. So what if it's going to cost me about 100k. It's all for the team, right? #ni-1

@Randy - Thanks for pointing out that it works well with MW. I planned to keep it shut off.

Now down to one Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 that's in a tiny case and overheats if I actually try to use all four cores at the same time. On the other hand, it makes for a very nice home theater PC

Another thirty two minutes, but who's counting... Laughing

I lined up five PCs so far, and two of them are Dual Cores,
but I may not be able to use one on the Challenge, as it's
only a Celeron, but I'ma'GonnaTryAnyways!.

And we're off!

I downloaded around sixty on one Dual Core, and around thirty on my Laptop.
The Celeron didn't get anything (Oh well, I tried!). Haven't checked the other two PCs yet...

Git 'Em, Boys!

(And grrls...) Embarassed
