    Now it's 4.51 time. Probably the 4.50 plus a fix for the bug that caused its removal. Get it here.

    Weird slowdown

    Most of the slowdowns I experience occur late in the evening and during the early morning hours.

    Since our weekly production hasn't improved much despite the fact that mine doubled and that Mark is now between 3500-4000 points/week, I figure not many among you use the new beta client with the -forceSSE option. I'm sure we could hit 15000 points/week if most of you would use the more...

    Do you plan to use any RAID flavor for that workstation Merc? I'm not sure but I think RAID 5 performances are quite poor on that Promise (well, on any Promise) controller.

    VIA Hyperion 4.50 released

    Me just want to mention that Hyperion 4.50 was withdrawn soon after release because of issues with (or so did I heard) ATI's Catalyst driver.

    I increase my screen's definition a little and now the text shows. I guess then that the maximal number of visible quotes is different for everyone, depending on the definition they use for their monitor. Problem solved, time wasted.

    At least it displayed text in the preview window. Now it seems that 30 quotes is too much for the text to appear in the non-preview post. So all of this really was totally futile :-(

    To the 5 factors Fushigi mentioned, I would add a sixth and probably by far the most important : charisma. You don't have it, you won't work in a corporate environment (or at least you'll have a hard time doing so). In my experience, business environments are full of ass-lickers and...

    You could delete everything except the client and the FAH_78 core and it would ask you again all your info and download a new unit next time you fire it up. It's not very ethical, but then again, it's part their problem if they still ship units not processed through the newer and optimized core.

    Ah ben Tabarnack. He clinched me before the end of November. I guess I'm not the only one for whom the new beta client makes miracle. I probably won't boost my crunching power until March or April next year. You better put this time to profit, because my next upgrade won't be a half-hearted...

    It's not always the laptop keyboard. One of the times I asked him, he answered that he simply didn't spell-checked his post. I suspect either Timwhit or NRG are right, perhaps both. To me it's obvious he doesn't place the same pride he once did in his posts, probably because of the MBF. He...

    Random Hard Drive Shutdowns

    If you suspect the PSU then it would be wise to replace it as soon as possible. Depending how the PSU sings it last song, it can cost you a lot more than just a new power supply unit. I'm sure NewEgg or Googlegear must have some free shipping sales on acceptable PSU right now.

    Same for me with F'core_65. I wanted to test the relative speed of the new client under Linux but I stumbled on a unit processing with the core_65. It took forever for each frame (ok, just 6m45s, but it was a 400 frames unit), so I restarted the system under Windows.

    Kerio Personal Firewall for windows....Free version

    I'm using Zone Alarm Pro v.4.5.53 on my main computer and it never froze it (Win2K Pro SP4). Nothing but positive comments about it. I use the free version of Zone Alarm on my other computers (one Win2K3 Server .Nut and others being Win2K Pro SP4) and the issues have been fairly rare.

    And from 28 minutes per frame down to a mere 10 minutes for a p572_L939_K12M protein. Simply incredible. I've nailed the cause to the -forceSSE additional command, because the FAH4 core alone doesn't apply the SSE optimizations to an SSE-capable Athlon XP processor. You must tell it to apply...

    Well, so far, on an Athlon XP 2400+ and comparing with the FAH3 core, the boost is far more spectacular than just 30%. On a unit (called p1032_A21nat_337_94) that took 30 minutes per frame (8 had already been processed when I changed the core), FAH4-beta with -forceSSE now brought it down to...
