Way to go, don't like not seeing you on the front page. Probably knock me off for awhile but way to go!

Pete

For some strange reason my post about mark adding new cards in his machine has to be discussed in the donation thread?


Maybe if you used more words also the forum mod had understood you better what you meant.. ;-D

Ahh.. you meant the top_RAC_hosts_page..

BTW.
In around one, two weeks my GPU machine has overtaken yours.. ;-)

In whole RAC, I have only 2 PCs and will overtake you.. ;-D


If I looked correct he added 'only' a GTX465 to his GTX295.
It's a pity, that BOINC (the host overview here) don't show the 'correct' GPUs..
Now it show [3] GTX465, instead of [2] GTX295 + GTX465.


Yes, this is possible.. X-D

Yep I agree, he sent me an Email telling me the same thing about his machine. Seti sure makes hosts look better than they are. Wonder if there is a way to edit it?

Sure, just pull the 460 back out and it will go right back to the way it was. :-)

Maybe if the BOINC-DEVs have interest to do this, it's possble - I guess..

If it is, then I am in big trouble or not. Janice and Eric had window seats and both are pretty observant.
I would like to know for sure so. Can anybody verify?

Well......the cruncher formerly known as (banished: ID 421968) has returned to survey the lay of the land.

First, I would like to thank everybody who kept my thread going whilst I was gone and continued the donations, some in my honor, even though the original challenge was met.

Second, it would be nice to get an update as to whether the boyz have done all of their shopping and cut any purchase orders yet. If so, whatcha got cookin'?

Third, I think that Phase II of this server upgrade project would be to take advantage of Todd's generous offering of his 2 Xeon processors and build another server around them.

And lastly, for now......

I would be quite touched and honored if the new server were named Oscar, in memory of the dearly departed Maine Coon kitty that Lori and I still miss very much.

Meow meow.

Give credit where credit is due.
Mark, when you're good you're very good: but when you're bad you're a pain in the donkey.

In this case, you've gone above and beyond the call and congratulations are called for.
Well done.
