I'm an idiot. :(

[Russ]

I hate upgrading software, so I always resist it. Well, unfortunately, I used this approach to the dnet client, so much of my herd was running 4.58. It was also more convenient since, with the latest keyserver proxy, no need to worry about OGR even with no changes in the ini file.

Well, last night I was finishing up a TBird 700 build and, since it was connected to the network, I figured I'd just grab the client (ver 4.63) directly from Dnet instead of pulling out my install floppy.

WHAT A DIFFERNCE!

Where the Athlon 700's were doing about 2.1M Keys/s with 4.58, they are now doing 2.4M Keys/s on the classics and 2.47M Keys/s on the TBirds! That's a free extra 300K! Needless to say, I've been spending the day upgrading cows.

[ViRGE]

You never noticed the rambling about the new Athlon core in 46x clients!? I'm honstly shocked Russ, you're slipping.=P

 

[Kilowatt]

Hmmm......I've got just two words for you.....Go Klinux!

 

[Engineer]

Bad Borg....Shame...Shame....Just make sure you add that little line abour RC5,OGR=0,CSC=0,DES=0 that you are always posting about

 

[dvch]

That is what I always liked about Russ-his logic is impeccable.

 

[Russ]

You guys realize what this means, right? Bwuahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Russ, NCNE

 

[Kilowatt]

<< You guys realize what this means, right? >>


Yeah, read the title of the thread. <hehe>

 

[RC]

No idiot, just a very busy cracker that forgot to update his client software.
My Athlon 700@750 classic is 2.68Mkeys/sec. I wish I had shared that info with you earlier.

 

[Russ]

These Athlon's are amazing little crackers. In comparing a couple of the machines here, the 700Mhz TBird is at 2.47, while an 850Mhz Celery is at 2.37. 100K more, at 150Mhz less, same OS (Me).

[DanStp]

Wow Russ........
You had me going there. I saw that topic you posted.

For a minute there I thought you had realized the error of your ways, and your and the whole Borg cube were going over to SETI from RC5

 

[JWMiddleton]

Hey Russ, I agree with Dan. I thought we had a S@H convert! That crackrack would be perfect for SETIQ and a string of CLI SETI clients!

 

[Viztech]

Russ, there is certainly a lot to like about you, including the fact that you admit it when you screw up.

I did the same thing earlier in the year when we were cracking CSC. They came out with a new core that was ~50% faster on K6s. I missed it at first as you did.

Next time I'll email you direct. We can't have the Borg slacking at all in the race for World Assimilation with the DPCs.

JWMiddleton - I hope that Russ switches to SETI the day that the code is found and Anandtech is #1 in RC5. Until that day, I'm 100% behind him concentrating on RC5.

Michael

ps - I guess one borg machine looking for a new race to assimilate would be cool ...

 

[MWalkden]

Diggin' fer Gold!

Nice little find, nice

 

[dawks]

Hey Russ, why dont you try and find a few Mac G4's at 400MHz. They do 3.4-3.5Mk/sec

 

[a Bill]

G4's rock. I had a 450 mhz unit (until the art department determined it was missing ) and it was cracking 3.9 MKeys 24/7. That was back in February or so. I sure miss that box, I never cared much for Macs until the G4.

 

[blade47]

I can't believe the Borg, a race that thrives on assimilating other peoples technology passed up a new client for so long. Is the collective going soft?

Btw I'm also 100% behind the Borg collective in their quest. But I have to admit I have wondered how much seti the cube could crunch as well as what the Federation could do. It sure would be nice to find out one day Not that I'm ever expecting to know.

 

[Robor]

For a minute there I thought you had realized the error of your ways, and your and the whole Borg cube were going over to SETI from RC5 - DanStp

Gosh, that wouldn't suck very much (for the SETI crew anyway).

Rob

PS - What's gonna happen if the &quot;key&quot; is found? Does that end the project? If so is another going to start up? You know where this is heading...

 

[jinsonxu]

Erm, how come mine's different?

dnetc v2.8010-463-CTR-00071214 for Win32 (Windows 4.90).

 

[Russ]

jinsonxu,

Not sure what you're asking. Different than what? The version that you're running is the latest.

Russ, NCNE

 

[TwoFace]

LOL Russ...

hopefully you'll not be as slow updating the client in the future huh?

I'll just add my thoughts on that Athlon thing:

My little puppy (Duron 650@876) is pumping out an amazing 3.07-3.11 MKey/s and you know I didn't pay much for that It's rather embarrasing really to see how it completely wipes the floor with my P3 (600@800) in RC5 but as long as it's cracking for me who am I to complain heh?!?

Now I've just gotta find some cheap mobos/NICs for those two old P2 233's I've got lying around and I'll be on my way to a SMALL crack rack myself

Happy cracking...

 

[Fandu]

Hey Russ, better watch out! Looks like The Dominion's coming for ya!

 

[Russ]

HMM...I hear that they're some tough hombres.

Well, today, I actually got two of my customers to bring their Athlons in for a cow update. One an 800, the other a 700. Nice, painless extra keys.
