Wow, I've only just checked my Einstein results for the 1st time. They are averaging slighter more than treble the claimed credit. At the curent rate, should hit 3 mill overall by the end of the potm.
Nice, 13 months for the 1st mill, & another 12 months for another 3 mill. Still a long way away from Lunarcom

Two nasty electricity bills put damper on my crunching, I'm being a little more selective.
I see a couple of projects are doing GPU testing for ATI cards so I'm trying those ones.

That I can understand. Fortunately, I have mine spread throughout the year & the monthly payments, are reasonable (at the moment - it's supposed to drop next month, but we'll see). Should the price drop be minimal, then I will certainly have to consider either switching some rigs off or reducing the time the farm crunches.

I'm not much of a powerhouse these days. Only got 2 X2's and an old Celeron laptop left to play with. My Celeron 2.9GHz died so I might upgrade it to an X2.
It's getting hard to keep up with those Quads.

I guess it will be a dead race until the end.
I still can't utilize all the CPU power.

Man, I had the same situation. Last time I did Sudoku's WUs, it was about 72 hours, not 120! lol... Anyways.... the worst is that I had a computation error after more than 80 hours and I lost all of this work.
At least, Sudoku's using only one of my cores.

The last 240 wu I did, give me 5,452.84 credits. That's why I dont want to camcel them.

Why not run it as a service? That way you don't have to remember to remember anymore...
