D2OL question for you veterens....

[mastertech01]

I think we need to put the PIIIs on some Linux steroids..

It has also been hinted at that these clients may be FSB dependent. I can't remember where I read that now. But if someone can easily change multipliers, it might be a worthwhile benchmark to run the client for a while at stock FSB/multiplier and then compare to the equivalent MHZ with higher FSB/lower multiplier. It would be interesting to see how big a dependence this client has on FSB.

Here are the results from my request for D2OL benchmarks very early in the year 2002:

Could be. That was when I had sorta given up on D2OL and was focusing on ECCp. Did they optimize for certain CPU's?

I am wondering if someone could help me.
On the D2OL site, I accidently added a node to my list of nodes; how do I remove it?
-This happened because I couldn't get D2OL working in RH8 at first, so I uninstalled it,
then reinstalled it.

If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. Or maybe I could assign the node
# to the next computer I configure with the D2OL client. Who knows, I am sure there is a
way to fix it though.

 

[Baldy18]

There isn't a way to remove nodes from your list yet but I've seen discussion about it being a future feature of the site. I have also heard talk of people "hacking" clients to change the node #.

 

[mastertech01]

It doesnt really affect your stats though. Just curious onlookers who think you have more nodes than what you do have. Currently if you were to remove a node you remove your stats for the node, so just wait till they make a solution for it. Who knows how many peeps you see listed around the world with 5 or 6 nodes only have 1 or 2.. shrug..

I really wish they would improve the Windows performance for us Linux challenged folks.:|
