Personally I quit the project 2 weeks ago and will only come back once the stats are fair.... ... Hi stephan_t! :-D I also wondered where you were. Please come back and join us here, crunching 100% Rosetta or not. Happy New Year to you and all here! :-D [b]"I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me[/b] ID: 8051 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

There is another dual xeon a little further down with almost exactly the same specs, possibly the same user, though it's impossible to tell.

Yes, 200 credits per result, taking about three hours each, seems a bit much. And with benchmarks that are 15x higher than mine, on a "comparable" AMD to his P4...

It is possible that they had networking off ... Turn it on, report a bunch of results all at once and RAC leaps up ... Keep turing them in slowly, and RAC is lower ...

I'm in this project for the science, so it doesn't bother me one way or the other is someone is cheating on the credits. As long as they are not cheating the science. Same for me! Even if I didn't get any credits, if my "presently-doing-nothing" computer can help someone, somewhere in the future then I will be happy. So nevermind if the user X has zillions or 10 credits. I do my little "job" and that's all ! Have a happy new year ! Godpiou ID: 8822 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
