I should also note that I do have access to free electricity as I live in a college dorm. I'm seriously considering buying at least one other quad core for Christmas. Will keep looking for a good team to stay with.

Small dedicated DC team~you got it
---------------------------------------- Linky in sig  If you like to run with decent crunching power AND like variety then check out Base Camp. They have a thread in teams section. I guarantee you WON'T outproduce the Base Campers [Edit 3 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 4, 2009 7:35:08 PM] |

Will keep looking for a good team to stay with. Andrew, keep in mind that you're never stuck with which team you choose. Being a part of a team doesn't get you any more points. What it gets you are the people on the team. That's why I asked if you had any particular ideas about the type of team you were looking for. There's no lack of good teams here. You could do fine with plenty of them. You could spend time with one and then move to another for a bit and get to know lots of them. That's much along the lines of what the Base Campers do. What you may want to do is to post some in a team's thread here and see what the team is like, get to know them a bit, and see what you think (kick the tires a bit). Come on over to our team thread and post a bit, get to know us and see what you think. Here's my plug for MyOnlineTeam: We currently have about 30-40 members returning results each day. Yes, you'll see we have well over 300 members if you look at the team list here. Like any team, we have members who've "dropped by the wayside". Being one of the original teams here at WCG (we formed the same day WCG launched), we've seen a lot happen. We also are involved at quite a few other projects, some that would allow you to utilize your nVidia cards too. Yes, we'd love to have you with MOT. It's what you're crunching for though that really matters so getting with a well-matched team can help keep you involved here. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by keithhenry at Dec 4, 2009 8:31:30 PM] |

I have an early (2008) Intel Quad Core Q6600 in Sugar Land, Texas that makes a decent 10,000 points a day. I'm looking for an excellent, close-knit team with top of the line quad core desktops. I'm also looking at buying an AMD Phenom X4 CPU to double production.  Was apart of the Houston team, but decided to leave as I saw my one desktop alone was producing 1/4 to 1/3 of their daily points. Team HardOCP would love to have you join us. We're a relatively small team on WCG with lots of friendly and knowledgable members. http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=BP5XNJBR9N1 We're the #1 team on the Stanford folding project (not sure if I should be mentioning the name here) if you're interested in crunching something different.

Regarding the i7-920; 10k points seems pretty low for that hardware. I'm running the same processor with HT enabled, and it has generated around 20k every day the last couple of months. It is running Linux Mint (Gloria, 32-bit) currently. I have not overclocked it (and HT should be enabled by default), but it has been running uninterrupted for about three months due to a broken GPU (meaning it does certainly not use the GPU for crunching).
Perhaps the windows version of boinc calculates points differently. You could have a look at how much time it clocks on crunching each day (with HT, it should generate about 8 cpu-days every day, about 4 otherwise). If it doesn't, it could be an indication it is only running part of the day, so perhaps your settings in the boinc client or something like that limits its output? Be warned, though, the stock cooler makes it sound like a small aeroplane when crunching hyperthreaded :o On topic to the OP, I'm in Libertarians for Science, which is a quiet but actively crunching small team. Feel free to join up if that's your cup of tea :) We do about 70-75k points a day between 4 active members if that means anything to you, and I try to sign us up for most points/runtime races in case that helps anyone's motivation. Happy crunching all :) |

Considering how quad core desktops are less than 500 dollars now, I'm surprised there aren't much more people with mad points out there. Personally I think there are quite a lot of people with great amount of points. I have had to do seriously crunching with my old quad just to across the 10k line in the points statistics. Eight hours a day isn't enough to get you anywhere near the top. Even with i7 cheers mika
