I have just noticed that recently my RAC has been plummeting.

It seems that the CPU opti apps I run (0.18, 0.19 and 0.21) are no longer usable.

Unfortunately the new apps will not run on most of my machines, due I now think to the fact they run winXP with no SP's installed.

And the only machine that does run the new app takes over 3 times longer than 0.21 did.

So until I get a DP GPU I am setting no new tasks on all machines.

Good crunching to everyone, and I will be back sometime in the future.

WOW, over 1M with no GPU that is something! I'm sure that you can find something else for your CPU to do.

Good luck!

WinXP w/ No Service Packs??? Why abandon a project over a simple software upgrade.....

You're always welcome back.

Good luck Virtual Boss

Thanks!

I thought about it, but ...

1. I am not abandoning, just taking a short break.
2. Why UP - grade my software just to DOWN - grade credits/day.

A suitable GPU is not too far away.

Same problem here.

I run the 0.18 sse3 on linux_64 amd.
It worked fine for me, allways got good credits.
With the new WUs it returns always validate errors, so I changed to stock.
But it is about 2 times slower than the opt app.

So I am looking for another project with good credits for CPU work.

Credits are just OK for me now, not close to previous opti apps. I'm not going to run much MW for now till credits are upped or an opti app is put out.
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.
