1) Message boards : Number crunching : sec/tstep increase (Message 6833) Posted 10 Dec 2004 by old_user16598 Post: Well, I generally run Prime 95 torture test for about 4 hours then consider it stable. I also play alot of games and figure that if they don't crash or have problems then I am most likely ok. I am by nature though the type of person that is driven crazy by thinking my system might be causing the errors. Guess I shouldn't be overclocking. :) Anyway I am going to try running Prime 95 for 24 hours on my other system that has had lots of Client Errors and see what that shows. Keith

Could it be that the WU was bad or flawed? Or that BOINC was having a problem or glitch? Keith
3) Message boards : Number crunching : 2700+ Barton vs 2700+ T\'Bred (Message 6818) Posted 9 Dec 2004 by old_user16598 Post: They are both 333MHz FSB
4) Message boards : Number crunching : sec/tstep increase (Message 6816) Posted 9 Dec 2004 by old_user16598 Post: That one is slightly overclocked but I ran Prime 95 without errors and haven't had any strange behavior from it. The funny thing is that it looks like very machine I have, most of which aren't overclocked at all, have lots of client errors. Keith

6) Message boards : Number crunching : sec/tstep increase (Message 6791) Posted 9 Dec 2004 by old_user16598 Post: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_user.php?userid=16598 My Athlon 64 system has been cranking out results for many months at around 2.00 to 2.10 sec/ts. Today I am now seeing it jumped up to 30 sec/ts then 16 then 11. What would cause this? Should I be worried? Keith
7) Message boards : Number crunching : 2700+ Barton vs 2700+ T\'Bred (Message 6488) Posted 30 Nov 2004 by old_user16598 Post: Yeah, that is what I was referring to. Well, the larger cache of the Barton must really be worth alot. It is doing trickles in 2.5 vs 3.1 sec for the T'Bred.

Funny thing is the T'Bred seems to get higher CPDN benchmark numbers but is consistently slower by a good margin in trickle times. Is the benchmark not very reliable or what? Keith
9) Message boards : Number crunching : outta here (Message 6483) Posted 30 Nov 2004 by old_user16598 Post: I have 5 AMDs ranging from an XP1800 up to an A64 system and all of them except the 1800+ are overclocked with very tight memory timings. I haven't had any of them crash or hang though. I am guessing you have some other problem that CPDN is just making apparent. All of my machines are home made.
