    We'll see if it lasts Leo ;). It certainly works better so far than those cheapo ECS boards which I always had IRQ trouble with in Linux. $50 cdn ($35 US) with a 5 bit FID and everything onboard isn't too shabby :D. Clock for clock it appears to be even with my KT333 boards.

    I'm never against a bargain. Good luck with your board. Frankly, I hadn't heard of Asrock brand before. Makes me wonder if it's a value label of another board, giving the manufacturer opportunity to sell in another niche without having to engineer another product.

    I think, as geeky told me, they're made by asus. Basicly asus's line of budget boards.

    Yeah, ASRock is ASUS' budget line of boards.

    p858_p53dimer858: 34 minutes on my Tbird 1.2@1.33

    Not as bad as I thought it would be. :)

    The 858 on the P4 Northwood 3.2 ran about 11-16 (quite variable dependign on other load) min per percent (aka "frame"), average 4.35 frames per hour. On the Barton, well the Barton 2500+ at 2 GHz has done ONE, not enough for stats to average as box kept doing spontaneous cool temp shutdowns, but it is doing a fairly similar 859 at about 2.4 %\hour or 26 minutes per frame\percent.

    I've noticed that the 858 seems to like my Laptop P-M a lot more than my desktop XP's running 400-500 MHz faster. The larger size of the data (they increased the precision for that new core IIRC) like means that a large amount of cache results in the huge boost. Its terribly slow on my non-SSE machines resulting in a major decrease in PPW. (The XP's still fold faster but (Points / Time) / Mhz is 15-20% higher).

    edit oops, for some reason FAHlog stats was telling me its a unit of type "100" so i assumed it was the new core. On second checking its parsing the project summary page wrong :/

    Mr Bill does that tbird have SSE? I have a non-sse tbird 1.4 that's taking 1 hour 6 minutes / frame on the 858. That doesn't seem right ... is that tbird 1.55 or 1.56?

    The new core (core_79) is not for this WU.

    The grass I planted last week might be ready to mow before some of these things are complete. :rant: But, a few have finished, or at least something is going back. This is the talk of all the forums I've looked at. :type: It will all work for the best :confused: Ya Think? Jack

    My 1700+ (at 2000+ speed) has been munching one of these for a good long while. I've watched it since noon (12 hours now) and it's moved from about 60% to about 85%. That 160-point bump all at once will be a relief. I haven't called my dad or my daughter, but I suspect that they have tied into one of those, too. Not many points today, but look out down the road!

    It looks like there are a lot of them out there - we haven't all been taking it easy this weekend:

    It looks like that for a lot of the teams. Way low output the first 2 days they came out and then a surge like the 3rd day or so when they start coming back in.

    Christ, I came in today to find 10 of my machines here have them. Oh well, now I have to wait a few days for them to finish (the machines here being PIII's)

    I've finally slogged through some of them and kicked them out the door. I have a feeling some will be back though.

    Interesting the effect these big fella's have on your Folding. All rigs stayed the same, but my total WU's dropped in half while my point total increased almost 10%. (See weeks marked in red. The middle week was during the transition period when they just started to show up.)

    Yep I went from WUs per day at somewhere in the teans to about 5-7.

    Very interesting-- with two boxes, I get less than 160 points every other day, then 300-400 in a day in a moving cycle depending on what I get-- average is about 180 points a day now for me. I am also getting p931 and p934 coded WUs, they take similar time frames to the p858 and 859s-- actually, the 858 is taking longest, then the 934, then the 859, then the 931(they are close to same time-wise, within 2-3 min per percentage across whole range of those four). I have not figured out the pointages for the 931 and 934s yet.

    Is anyone still getting the 160 point babies? I haven't seen one for a while now.

    I just finished my last one yesterday. My farm is now full of 6 520's after just finishing off a batch of 10 Tinkers :/. Production fell off nearly 40% during the run of tinkers, it hurt the p-m the worst which dropped over half (from 400 PPW to 140 PPW).

    I'm all clear of them at the moment. Been getting a lot of the p724_Abeta21-43-amberGS's though. What are those worth? Em-dc has it all scrambled due to the length of the name. I think it's 49 pts but not sure.

    My 1.4 TBird had two at once (I am on dial up). Check was set at 29 min. and it was hitting 4 between frames. About 2:15, or 9 days to do a pair of them.

    No 859's for about a week. But I also had a small run of Tinkers. Including 1 Tinker that ran 20 steps, closed out, and I got credit for it.

    None of the p858, p859's for quite some time now. We're getting our fair share of p638, p639's and p520's and a variety of 11 pointers.

    No 160 pointers in a while, had 3 tinkers past few days tho. 6:19 a frame on the p724.

    As of this morning, all 3 of my machines have got p212_villinUR212, all taking about 21 minutes to run (ironic, huh?). Each one is worth 160 pts too.
  • csimoncsimon Acadiana Icrontian
    edited April 2004
    the majority of my folders are getting p212's at the moment ...EMIII reports them as being 75 points but I'm sure that they were changed within the past 2-3 days to 160 points. :fold:

    Intel Rig: two P520 BBA 5 @33pts each (EM calculator - 63.2pts/day ea)
    AMD Rig: one P696 L939 @70.9pts (EM calculator - 52.4pts/day)

    This is fairly typical. I think I need to double check to see if
    -advmethods is on for the AMD's client.

    Office machines? Hmm, don't know what they're running now; they seem to get (s)Tinkers even with -advmethods switched on.

    Might want to check the performance fraction, if they are below 0.8 then no gromacs for them.

    Yes, I'm imagining that's a problem. I've tried to enable hyperthreading in the office machines, but there is some kind of BIOS lock - or they're engineered (frigging CRIPPLED) from the factory to be non-hyperthreaded. Portions of these Dells' BIOS I can change; other areas will not change.
