Here's mine running about 6 days on 4 cores, with 1/10 of a day of work setting.

Then the last 6 days begging for 10 days of work on 8 cores, just got it yesterday.

ie..without any tweeks.....yet. I'm banging. Compared to gett'in 3300 pts in 10 years....I got 42,000 today.

I'm really interested in how to get 40,000 a day out of my I7.

But don't have a clue how to get it.

Right now I'm second in RAC in my group, up against a guy with 34 computers, I have 4. And I'm out processing the other 98 active in the group.

Any suggestions would be welcome....If I have to put up another I7 2600K at the office I'll do it just to take the 34 computer dude out.

I'm sure he's on a network at work, and this is my home server HTPC network up against him. If you have any ideas make them simple, because I am stupid.

Any suggestions, I've been at this since 1999.....off...and...on.

As mentioned already using the 3rd party optimized applications from the lunatics would be a good place to start if you are up for that kind of thing. The downloads page is here if you have trouble finding it.

One of the advantages it would offer is to run more than 1 task at a time on the GPU. Which may or may not be something you would want to do. Everyone has their own needs out of their computer(s).

The top guy in your group has a big mix of machines, which oddly looks a lot like my list, & are probably dedicated crunchers. So depending on your crunching duty cycle you may or may not be able to take them even with superior hardware.
