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 :cry:

What's happening with this month's potm? Nobody got their full weight behind it? I only ugraded 2 X2's to X4's & I'm now 1st by RAC (Sorry Lunja), that's not right, top 5 maybe but 1st :?:

To be honest im surprised to be in the Top10, in front of the powerhouses that are JPLiz, Buffalo Bill, RedMenace and... 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.

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.

We put up a thread soon after we start new POTM's. That voting thread is then used as the "HQ" to coordinate, chat and occasionally taunt. lol

Here is the March thread http://teamcanada.freeforums.org/march-2009-t758.html
