@ Thargor By the time stamp on your post I see you were sitting up burning the midnight oil, waiting to see the days results! Damn BST for making it an hour later!  I work 10-6, and don't tend to need much sleep, so I tend to go to sleep in the middle of the night! Trying out my new I7 laptop, disappointing so far :( Which CPU does it have in it? My i7-920 at home is pretty old, but it churns through workunits at a half-decent rate...  [Edit 2 times, last edit by Thargor at Apr 26, 2012 9:03:48 AM] |

Not really sure, it's the 2.2 i7 not sure of the exact model.
still beat my all time for 'run time, points and results' yesterday, so it must be doing something right! |

Would assume it's the "Intel Core i7 2720QM Mobile, S 988, Quad Core, 2.2GHz", if it's in a laptop, it may not be as quick per core but it has four of them, and they're hyperthreaded, so you should see eight concurrent workunits being worked on...
----------------------------------------In other news, silver globe on this nice shiny new signature image!  |

Your Run time/project time (currently showing as 11.9 Days) has to hit 14 Days, to get the bronze globe. That new laptop should help bump your runtime up quite a bit!
----------------------------------------You can see the different requirements here, on SNURK's list-website... |

@ Wicksman The new machine certainly helped you make a debut appearance in the Daily Global 5000 rankings for 26 Apr:
----------------------------------------Runtime: 0:005:05:12:30 #4,911 Points: 23,060 #3,939 Results: 43 #3,587 Snurk Globes change colour in line with the WCG badges so bronze at 14 days, silver at 45 etc. But Runtime is divided by total WGC projects since inception - 21. So if you're averaging 5dys RT per day it'll take about 7 days for you to get to bronze. |
