Hum... it seems like it might not be a good test since you run such divergent workloads on the two machines. Still your points totals seem to indicate that even with a bigger load on the Ubuntu machine produces more points (presumably that is a measure of contribution). The only way you could get a good comparison would be to run the EXACT same workload on them for some period of time and then make the comparision for that time period. That all turns into a hassle and would inconvience you as well as your wife I suspect along with being complicated. It was just a passing thought. Thanks for showing interest. Have a great day...I never visited Finland...closest I got was Oslo and I headed south as soon as I could (Us old Texas boys like it warm).

Just testing.

DKT - Could you tell us what the average run time is that you're seeing for DDDT2, since you have a statistically significant sample size? As I was musing earlier, I wonder if we could beat the team one day results record if everyone crunched DDDT2 for a few days ... provided that the WUs are plentiful enough.

As for your "off-topic": it's completely within bounds here. Hope your remodel goes well. I've heard so many horror stories with remodels.

- D

I didn't realize there would be so much interest in the remodel work I am having done. The original house had 1300 sq ft of living space and my wife has been collecting various things over the past 30+ years. As a result we had to rent storage in Prunedale. While it is close, I am paying over $200 a month for this storage and part of the house is still being used for storage.

The people I hired to do the remodel did the design and drawings and submitted them to the county for a building permit. These changes included completely removing the original garage and building a new garage and storage room at the back side of the house. A second storage room is being built where the original garage was with a great room, pantry, and clothing wash room on top of that storage. A sun room is being added which will be on top of the storage room at the back of the house. A new concrete driveway is being built to go around the house to the new garage in back. The plywood siding will be covered with stucco plaster and the windows replaced with dual pane windows.

It is kind of hard to picture how this might be done without knowing our property is two and a half acres on a hillside, and the front of the house is on the up hill side and the back on the down hill side. The back of the house faces south and not too much dirt had to be excavated for the garage and storage room. Most of the excavation had to be done at the end of the house where the original garage was located.

I don't know if there are any questions, and our cat keeps intruding making it difficult to type. Lynda, my wife, takes pictures every day when any work is being done. Today it is raining, but there is still quite a bit of concrete to put down.
