I see I forgot to announce it here. Better late than never! Illiad has produced a shiny new certificate:

Haven't updated my list in a while. (Since the old thread.) So I'm updating it now. I'm just removing all the old long-since outdated comments.
Here's the current list of computers at home (in order of production rate.) 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 with 2 GB RAM (Son's desktop. The only things on it that are Original HP parts are the case, mouse, and keyboard.) 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo T2500 with 2 GB RAM (MacBook Pro, main computer) 3.73 GHz Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 965 with 1 GB RAM (Part server, part secondary game machine, part "on 24/7 primarily for WCG. The P-E-E is a basically dual core with Hyperthreading Pentium 4. It presents itself to the OS as four cores.) 2.26 GHz Intel Pentium M 780 with 1 GB RAM (Compaq V2000, work laptop) Total: 24,400 MHz, 6 GB of RAM. (Counting multi-core systems as their speed times number of cores, but Hyperthreading as only one processor. Yes, the 2.0 GHz Core Duo, with its 667 MHz bus is faster than the 3.73 GHz Pentium Extreme with its 1066 MHz bus and Hyperthreading. And the whole Core Duo laptop uses about half the power of the Pentium Extreme chip all by itself.) With new job comes access to new shiny. But unfortunately, I don't get to run WCG on my primary work desktop (yet), and the other machines I don't have "run anything you want" access to for long periods of time. For the moment (meaning, the weekend of the Fourth of July 2008 only,) I have it on a blade server with two blades identically configured: 2x2.33 GHz Intel Xeon E5345 with 4 GB RAM (Yup, 4 cores per chip, 2 chips per blade, two blades. That's 16 2.33 GHz cores! Too bad I'll have to stop WCG on this puppy on Monday. Oh well, my stats for the long weekend should be great.) The system that comes in on Monday is a "big iron" that doesn't have WCG support. :-( (Lets just say 16 cores of non-x86.) All the PowerPC Macs have been retired, as have the Pentium 4s and Celeron M. The PPC Macs just aren't worth the points for the heat they generate being on, so the few that still are used are on 'high power save' mode. Some aren't on often and long enough to finish a work unit before it's due! The two P4s have had their 'roles' replaced with upgraded machines; in both cases reusing many parts. The Celeron M laptop has been given away. |

Team UserFriendly.Org have passed 700 million points - and in new money, that's 100 million, a noteworthy milestone.
Well done, team! This challenge is doing us good (although I had hoped more teams would join such a well-publicised challenge). Let's go for broke and aim for 2 million points per day. We can do it! |

So how is the group doing? I have not been on here for a while. My computers continue to crunch daily though.

We're going steadily. We've seen some all time highs in recent months, but overall our output is climbing slowly.
We have a lot of members, so our statistics are firmly grounded - we're not at the mercy of a few big contributors. |
