I actually do average my RAC on my machines by pulling the data from statistics_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml.

Yay, how I can do that?

Let MemTest86 run at least 6 passes, you may get 2 or 3 passes without any errors but as the test continues the memory will warm up more and this is where errors may occur.

Cheers.

It has finished 6 passes with NO Errors so far , I will let it finish the 7th pass just to make sure...
It is almost 3/4 done with the 7th pass anyway.
This is really starting to be frusterating .
Something is causing this problem...

EDIT:
Ok , The screen shows 3 hrs and 40 min , Pass 8 , error 0 .

I guess that means it is on the 8th pass now... With NO errors so far.

This is with the old ram still in PC.

Not the NEW Ram...

I'm at a dead end...
I'll talk to Corsair tech tomorrow and see what I can do then...

Did I miss a note earlier, or am I the first to mention here that a 7th pfb_splitter is now online?

As of this writing, ~290,000 MB and 0 AP ready to send.

As of the 10 May 2013 16:00;34 Status Update, there were, indeed, 7 pfb-splitters shown and "Running", but only 6 were splitting MB. pfb-splitter 0 may still be in "proof" testing, or splitting for Beta.

Yes, I realised at work, this morning that XP was going to limit my choices and I'd be looking at something like the same Cat Suite I'm currently running (11.12) on my 4890, and I also had problems with the later Cat 12's drivers. I'm running quite an old version of SDK on the 4890...so I'd better look at running something a little less ancient!

It is also looking increasingly likely that before too long, I'll have to commit to something like Win7 64 bit....maybe dual-boot using a second drive, to keep the capability of still running all my XP32 progs. A pity in a way, as XP Pro has proved to be extremely stable for me.

I havn't found a program yet that I ran on XP that won't run on Win7 (both 32 & 64 bit) so you should be fine. ;-)

Cheers.

Do not be disturbed. The reason(s) that the Cricket graph is relatively low is because (a) AP units ready-to-send is zero, (b) the flurry of "shorties" has passed, thankfully, and (c) the Berkeley Boys are not currently pushing data from the offices at the top of the hill to the "co-location" on main campus.
This goes to show that if the SETI endeavor were still only MB (that is, no AP application), the bandwidth of the old connection was just barely adequate to do the job.

All is working well here at present, although Boincstats still has not received a stats dump since Monday.

Perhaps it will kick off at the usual time this afternoon.

Ok, it's now at around 33% being 1057 hours into the WU. This is not working. I'm thinking that maybe even a shortie wouldn't make it for the deadline it'd be given.

Damn. :(

Okay, panickers, what say you now?

MB ready to send is now upward of 245,000, still with only 6 splitters running. (FWIW, AP ready to send is about 2,000 with all its splitters running.)

Can we still say the MB/PFB splitters can't keep up with demand? Or is something else going on that's been causing the ready number to be so low recently?

Not convinced. They had real problems when (a) no AP was available, and (b) the MB work was mostly shorties. They are keeping up now with a better ratio of long/short MB tasks and the AP tasks. For example, I've received 364 tasks in the last 24 hours per BOINCTasks (staying at limits for the period). That number was ranging from 700 to 800 when we got almost all shorties, no AP, and the ready to send was depleted. Maybe there was a fix, but I'll wait and see.

Why I am running Lunatics 0.40 release, cpu and gpu. It works. Software without installation instructions does not work, obviously.

One shouldn't take XP support quite so lightly around here. From what I understand, someone around here is about to release software that doesn't support XP. As for Raistmers' new AP App, not only does it support XP, it also still supports my ATI 4670 in XP. Soon, you will see threads about missing XP support...

XP will be dropped for stock app. We can't load our undermanned SETI staff with support that AMD itself already dropped completely. They refuse to do anything (uninstall utility for example) for XP. As for HD4xxx btw.
So, we will try to keep XP compatibility while it will cost not too much. But after only already released binaries will remain...

When XP support is dropped, will we be allowed to Merge our XP Hosts to a different machine? I already tried to merge the XP from my Mac to a Windows PC, it didn't work. I will not be buying another version of Windows for my old Mac. So, I would of liked to have transferred the Host to a real Windows PC. Or even better, when OSX GPU Apps are finally released, merge my Mac' XP to OSX Lion on the same machine, that would work...for me :-)

Thanks for including XP in your new App.

What!? We get experience points crunching with OpenCL apps. Can I level up my Seti skill and crunch faster? :p
