    Re: A tough Task.....but is it possible?

    Seeing as I've reinstalled windows on Sunday and not had 1 issue at all even with overclocking the hell out of the dual core as well I may knock the clock down a little bit and install F@H to assist.

    Warning though, the sightest sight of a BSOD and it's stopping straight away

    Re: A tough Task.....but is it possible?

    GD is pimped.

    I forgot to turn my box on last night, but its going on tonight until xmas day/boxing day/ 27th (whenever i sober up enough to come home to switch it off).

    302 on xmas day it says here... so anyone else joining in will possibly make that difference. I'll ask mum to leave her box on too. A week should be just enough to get a WU in each.

    Re: A tough Task.....but is it possible?

    Mine has been running almost 24/7 since I reinstalled the client at the beginning of the month, I did however do a reboot this morning after it completed a WU and forgot to start the client on the reboot.... shall however start it when I get in and it should be on 24/7 until the new year.

    Hexus is being beaten by a bunch of Skoda drivers.

    Kakao Stats - Teams Ranking

    If that isn't incentive enough...

    I'm toying with the idea of leaving my 13 office desktops (a mixture of Sempron and P4s) over the festive break. What sort of strain will this put them under? They're all stock boxes with an 8meg BB connection

    Re: A tough Task.....but is it possible?

    Bloody scaremongers...

    Really... you can't win with this lot.

    "I'm using more electricity" - well install a turbine on your house, or a solar panel then. Or turn your telly off standby and unplug your chargers.
    "My PC will get too hot" - well your Heatsink isn't doing it's job then, get a new one (funny that my 7 year old Arctic is fine though), or learn how to lap...
    "I'm contributing to cancer" - what? you mean I might as well not save little molly in a bed in GOSH because the tiny amount of emissions my pc will emit. I'm saving medical research people money, so they can get on with researching and not paying for mainframes to crunch with.

    Grrr. look, i'm seething again... twice in a day. I'm gonna send DR an invoice for my shrink.

    Re: A tough Task.....but is it possible?

    My new PS3 has helped my fly up the rankings. I'm gonna leave my HTPC and main PC (both dual core AMDs) on over Christmas while I go back to see the parents, so that should be a nice boost.

    I'll look into it then, but I'll tell the wife, when I come in to work over the Christmas break to satisfy my curiosity that it's Zak's fault.

    The Semprons are kicking the P4s asses in terms of performance at the moment, so that'll be an ego boost for the P4s

    Re: A tough Task.....but is it possible?

    Well we should have Stewart on board tonight, and 99Flake will have his home PC up tomorrow night (once I've leant him a wireless adaptor)

    Mum has been leaving the PC on while she walks the dog and things like that, so she's in too.

    My rig went on last night, to charge my Zen and re-sync, so it's been folding all night so far...

    I think we can do this!! Kako reports 301 this morning... so we've already made a diffrerence!

    nice work guys.
