Raven, Have you been forced to scale back? Your numbers have been down for the last few days.

[GE-Raven]

Yup.... my summer run has ended... coupled with needing a new "core" on my older machines... I hope to get some power back soon... but it may be a bit.

Got me another box, el cheapo E-machines $600 walmart special, but it has an amd64 and has put me from an average of 75 average credit  to 178 ac in 2 weeks! FYI, according to SETI, this $600 amd system runs seti approx 3 times faster than a 2.4p4 in my laptop! Interesting fact if you are in the market for a second (or more) pc for seti/gaming, etc. This stock amd runs Eve perfectly out of the box.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, my avg credit is STILL going up after 2 weeks, nearly straight up on the graph, cant wait to see where it tops out.

[The Postman]

Congrats to you for being able to up your production. I have had to pull some back to classic for one last push and I had another where the motherboard quit. But I will be back in the hunt soon enough.

[The Postman]

Congrats to thirdleg for joining the team.

[FPF-AJTK]

Thought they took classic down already, thats the only reason I went to boinc! Oh well.

It is still there.  They don't allow the creation of new accounts but it still allows those who have accounts to process WUs.  I'm a couple of days from passing 40,000 WUs myself.

December 15th is the current target date. Have a big outage soon for a big step in the master migration database, and then when we're back up start sending out the mass e-mail saying it's time to start moving over.

Big outage: master migration (merging old SETI@home classic science database with BOINC). Everything needs to stop for this to happen, and may take 24-76 hours. Don't want new users coming over to BOINC and finding it down for several days. Of course we'll post news items about this when we have a better idea when this will happen.

Remember this is only the current planned cutoff date, and may slip a week or two, but we're really trying to stick to this one.

Actually, we might be able to get by without an outage - we're working that out now. You can see why I don't post things to the front page until we are a lot more certain about events/dates/times...

I have now moved one machine over to BOINC, the rest will come over when either my cache runs out or they stop accepting returns.

Where it shows me in 3rd place for recent average credit and my output still rising.  Just how high can I go?  Moo Hunt II ?

[The Postman]

Are you thinking of hunting me??????
Be warned, my RAC will continue to go up for several weeks.  With the machines I have right now, I will top out around 430. Once I get a raid card, case, cpu and a boot drive( I have a pair of 200 gigs for the raid), I will have another for the farm.  I expect that I can get my RAC up over 600 without trying too hard. I would have that now except that the IT people at my second job decided to block BOINC's outside access without telling me after I had permission from them to run on 3 P4's.

When the Moo Hunt began he had 11 or 12 machines and I had 1.  Along the way I was told that a home user would be lucky to get into the top 20 of the Taldren team.  As a home user I was told that getting into the top 10 let alone the top 5 was impossible. 

Nothing is impossible.

Note: I actually had 2 machines to start with but only one was connected to the internet, the other had to have the modem taken to it to upload WUs.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE MOO HUNT!

If it werent for the great Moo Hunt - i doubt the Taldren team would have been anywhere near as big as it got without the Hunt.

Closing in.  Only 50 behind.  Yesterday it was 108 at one point.

If it werent for the great Moo Hunt - i doubt the Taldren team would have been anywhere near as big as it got without the Hunt.

Moo Hunt V1.0 would not have been near as effective if not for your statistics keeping.  I give those statistics which started well before the Moo Hunt credit for a lot of the effort that people put in to get on your list and stay there.

That was easy.  Time to see if I can pluck Raven and take first in RAC until he gets the work network on line again. 

Since I don't have enough experience with BOINC to do more than guess where my RAC will end up I can only guess that it may be above Ravens current RAC.  None of my computers has been running BOINC long enough to reach their maximum RAC.  My guess is that it is averaged over 14 days and 1 of my machines has been producing for 9 days, 2 for 5 days and the probable highest RAC for only 2 days so I don't have much of a baseline to estimate from - yet.

Actually I think that Total credit is more important than RAC and at present I can't even begin to rival the top 6 but I hope to enter the top 10 before years end.

Try this one it seems to be more up to date.

[The Postman]

Yeah, your glory was short lived. I just dumped my cache and I am over you again, 379.11. It hasn't shown up on the team list yet. By the way , where did you find that link? the only one I have is: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/team_display.php?teamid=4
Another good one is in my sig.

PS, i will make it harder for you when I can get mt 2.6 HT going again. It hasn't communicated since 12/26. The only problem is I don't have direct control over it and must rely on someone else.
