Memory Upgrade
(Message 1361541)
Posted 22 days ago by HAL9000
HAL9000 - I like the 2nd suggestion. Need to putting any spare nickels & dime into the kitty. That is a dual channel kit so if you were wanting to go to 12GB for both machines that would be $435 for 3 kits vs $330 for 2 of the triple channel kits. Using their MSRP pricing. You could just get 2 of the 8GB kits and run dual channel. Then later get a 3rd to go back to triple channel and build them out to 12GB. |

AP Optimized r555 vs r1797
(Message 1361532)
Posted 22 days ago by HAL9000
couldn't someone just put an extra large number in there and use that to get more ap work (i know the 100wu per physical cpu will apply) You can put whatever you want in there. However you may run into -177 errors initially. After a while the your DCF may be adjusted to correct for the value, or if also doing CPU tasks it will bounce around all over the place. In the end a drastically off number is a disadvantage for you. |

Memory Upgrade
(Message 1361416)
Posted 22 days ago by HAL9000
By "upgrade" are you intending to increase the amount of RAM, get faster ram and try to push it past 1600, or possibly both? With having only 4 slots it looks that way. The EXtreme Memory Profile you you are using now is sort of overclocking, but within the specs the memory manufacture deemed to be OK. If you are a fan of your current Corsair memory. They do have a 12GB kit that looks to be a direct upgrade. http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-product-family/dominator/cmp12gx3m3a1600c9.html If you wanted to try faster seeds you could get 3 dual channels kits for your two machines. Something like these kits may be worth considering. http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-product-family/dominator/dominatorr-gt-with-dhx-pro-connector-and-airflow-ii-fan-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmt8gx3m2a1866c9.html or http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-product-family/dominator/dominator-gt-1-5v-8gb-ddr3-memory-kit-with-dhx-pro-connector-and-airflow-2-fan-cmt8gx3m2b2133c9.html |

Since it has been about 48 hours after it was renewed I would expect most DNS servers have picked the domain back up by now. |

Panic Mode On (83) Server Problems?
(Message 1361399)
Posted 22 days ago by HAL9000
the task creation rate seems to have leveled out and looks to be running a bit more steady. With the number of ready to send having reached around 300k the creation might go back to the high/low on/off pattern. Which is apparently what they are expected to do. |

With the shorties I am surprised there was a steady ~200Mb download rate during the outage. |

GPU on MB + GPU discrete in PCI Express x16 slot
(Message 1360643)
Posted 24 days ago by HAL9000
The HD 3000 series is not OpenCL capable, but the hybrid AP app could be used with it. If you really wanted to use it. However IIRC there is not currently a way to tell BOINC to only run certain apps on specific GPU's. It would require running 2 instances of BOINC. Your current one and a 2nd configured only to use the HD 3300 & the hybrid application. |

Record?
(Message 1360406)
Posted 25 days ago by HAL9000
I think it was Eric who said we should have about 5 times the bandwidth & that it is really only limited by the speed of the back-end hardware now. I am sure the servers are probably starting to sweat about now if that is the case. |

Total Results
(Message 1360402)
Posted 25 days ago by HAL9000
I've been in communications with an Administrator at Free-DC. I ask if it would be possible to include the Total Results like they do the Total Credit in there webpages, Your links are truncated & don't go anywhere. When BOINC was being alpha tested before SETI@Home switched to it I had asked something along the lines of this. The response was something along the lines of "BOINC will keep track of actual work preformed in cobblestones instead of total results". I see the cobblestones/credit as an inconsistent measure and would have simply preferred the totals of tasks preformed. Perhaps separated into groups by AR or something along those lines. PrimeGrid does give a count of the number of tasks run. However, I don't think the stats sites get that data in the export. |

Cloned HD , Should it be same size used space?
(Message 1360309)
Posted 25 days ago by HAL9000
Look at it in Disk Manager to see if there is any unsed space, hidden partition etc. Also the free space will change depending on the size of the swap file etc. Depending on the software you used it might be smart enough to not copy temp directory information. Which can often be a large amount of data. You could use software to compare the two drives to see the difference, or check each root folder to see if you can find a directory with a large discrepancy. |

There were 2 or 3 other threads about 3 weeks ago, right after the move, with the new address. I couldn't find them to link to. So I just posted the address. I have stickies disabled. So one of them might be at the top for most people. |

the update tried to install google chrome toolbar I think and I said no I don't use chrome it's caused problems and I wish they would stop doing that shit if I what it i'll freaking download it There was a time they would not give you an option to uncheck things like that, but laws were passed requiring an option to uncheck certain things. |

I've contacted Toby a second time via a different email address, and got a response: They have until May 27 before it gets released by tucows. I'm sure it can be sorted by then. |

Can anyone provide an alternate download for this Intel GPU package ? The domain appears to have expired, so the URLs for it no longer work. See this thread. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=71428 |

Easy way to transfer tasks?
(Message 1359051)
Posted 28 days ago by HAL9000
There is no way to move tasks from one host/client to another. The easiest way is to merge hosts. Then the client on the new system will download the tasks assigned to it as reseeds. |

My host give me unlimited storage & bandwidth. So if the lunatics want a backup site I can setup like http://lunatics.hal6000.com or something of that nature. If desired PM me and I can setup some users for ftp. |

The 2014 expiration date was throwing me off for a bit. Looking up the info on tucows. It is their policy to set set the expiration date out 1 year when it expires and then give 40 days to renew it. After 40 days they nuke it. |
