my uptime record so far on a windows pc:



was wondering if this is near a record for xp? as i've heard of 1000 day uptimes with xp but wasn't sure if they were genuine or not.

cheers

Dam , Your pc must love you, not seen many uptimes, and none near that good!

[johnny02004976]

that is impressive, makes my 3 hours look shabby

Though not XP, one of the servers where I used to work had something like a 450 day uptime - it managed to survive and not need a restart for over a year. Now that I would have thought was impressive

i think what this demonstrates is that windows is not that bad anymore

NT has been able to stay up consistantly for 10 years.

Its worth noting that you can't patch certain vital systems thou, so security is always a concerne.

Aditionally a lot of uptimes you see such as unix ones are in my mind bull****, because vital services will of been restarted (such as http deamons, network IP services etc).

I was only up to a month or so yesterday, but I had to reboot to install my new HD.

I had Find-A-Drug crunching systems that stayed up for over a month at 100% CPU load and were only restarted because of hardware swaps or software installs. Still 200 days is the highest I've ever seen.

Advanced Server?! bloody hell what type of 8 CPU box do you have?

[manwithnoname]

wow 200 days, my pc never on for more than 3 hours a day even at the weekend. I'm kind of environmentally but subconsciously I just have a habit of switching things off when I have finished

Fraid not...

Its a 6year old time box!
- Its still got the origanal 1000mhz Tbird chip in it, but most of the rest is replaced.
- The mobo was just replaced this week, when the old MSI K7Tpro died
- And end up with new ram to go with that, as the pc133 didnt fit...
- Graphics cards origanal tho, trusty Geforce2 GTS! With the stock cooler still spining!
- It had a new hard drive in its second year, good old cheap pos HDD's...
