Re: Minnesota Crunchers

Some good news and bad news about AMD:

They just launched their "Piledriver" desktop cpu's. But analysts still see AMD as a lost cause. Will do my best to support their products if the performance is decent.

Nice work, Mitch.

Bearcat, let us know how the 7870 does and if you can run multiples...

There new chip isn't to bad for the price. Give it a month or so and should drop in price. Since my next build will be for GPU crunching only, this might fit the bill along with 2 GPU's. Will do a couple days crunching one at a time to beak the 7870 in before trying more. From what I have read, should do just fine. Will let you know what it does by the weekend.

You got a better deal than me. Mine is stand alone, no other services from comcast. Does the $40 include the phone, or is that extra, becasue I paid $149 for two years of an IP Phone.

Re: Minnesota Crunchers

I have let the 2950 run for a little while now. Boy is that thing inconsistent. I have tried a couple of projects on it with some success. HCC ran the first two jobs in 6 hours which I thought was awfully slow, but then it settled down and ran most of the rest between 1 and 2 hours, a few in less than an hour. Why ? I don't know. I have tried some CEP2 on it and they have run pretty well except for a power blip which caused errors. However, it grants anywhere between 80 and 280 points for a job. On my other systems on which I run this project it shows great consistency because the jobs generally run a consistent time. I don't really care about the points but am mighty curious about the wide disparity. It must drive my wingmen crazy. If it does not become consistent I will probably try to upgrade the OS from Linux Mint 12 to 13 and see if that provides more stability. I haven't ever had a system that varies this much. Eventually I will upgrade the processors to quads, but that is another story.

Cheers
