Everyone enjoying the higher points granted? Guessing around 20% more.

Mclaver, you sure are pumping out the points. How many rigs? These all at home?

Can anyone using ubuntu 10.10 recommend a wireless usb stick that works without constant configuring? The list on ubuntu forums takes to long to go through and no solid confirmation if it works out of the box. Prefer finding someone who is using one now without issues. Was considering getting win7 on a deal from the egg (been waiting on this for 125 bucks) but would like to keep ubuntu crunching. Only have 2 days to decide before the deal ends from the egg.
----------------------------------------I did find this.... https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/catalog , but don't know anything about these. I do have a linksys AE1000 USB stick. Tried to get it to work but gave up. Plan on moving this cruncher downstairs when the weather warms up but have to get the wireless working first. Disregard folks. I pulled the trigger (credit card) and ordered win 7 pro 64. After going through the list on ubuntu forums and seeing issues on just about every one, I gave up. The win7 deal doesn't pop up much so figured I will dual boot this cruncher like my main rig.

Had to reduce my main cruncher output due to the nice warm weather. Boy was it a nice day today. Opened all the windows. Didn't help my cruncher though. Once my Win7 order comes in and gets installed, that one will go downstairs where it's cooler. This is the one I needed wireless to get working under ubuntu. If I'm lucky and sell my trailer, should be able to get my other processor I need. Was hoping the price would drop when the E5 xeons came out but looks like westmere processors will maintain there current value for awhile.
----------------------------------------Need to win the lottery to afford the new Xeons. Those 8 cores are expensive.

Mclaver, you sure are pumping out the points. How many rigs? These all at home? All my machines are at home. I have 19 in the house from an AMD 6400 to an Intel 990x. I am building them from parts as a hobby, then put them on WCG 24x7. And I cant wait until WCG supports GPU. All my cpus are dedicated to WCG. I get 10 times the BOINC points for GPU work then I get for CPU work. Once WCG supports GPU, I will shift all my GPUs to WCG. Our team normally gets 200,000-300,000 Boinc points per day. I normally contribute 60,000-70,000 Boinc points per day to WCG, but I contribute 600,000-700,000 Boinc points in total, with my GPUs. It will be ineresting to watch team points go up when GPU is supported    |

Boy, after listening to all you guys I can see I have to upgrade. I can see the handwriting on the wall for the P-4's. They have been dependable, but they only get about 5 Boinc points per hour, so they are just not efficient. So, when the tax refund gets here I think I know how it will be partially invested.
