RC5: They've Gone Plaid!

[ViRGE]

For all you RC5-72 participants out there with G4 CPUs, now's the time to get back in to the competition. A new pre-release client has gone up with AltiVec enhancments, to the tune of being more than 3x faster than before. G4's are current pulling 9.1KK/mhz or so, which is actually better than what it was with RC5-64.:Q For the time being, even the slowest shipping iMac(at 800mhz) is faster than the fastest AthlonXP. I'm bringing the Orchard back online as we speek, so look for TA to pick up well over 1000 blocks/day with this. The boys are back in town.

GREAT! That's all I needed! Now I'm gonna have a heard of Mac's run over me to on Mika's week stats.

Just when I'd settled into second place again. I've even got a XP 2700+ on the way for the new system I'm building.

Someone enlighten me to the relevance of "plaid"

 

[osmo]

I'm guessing it's a Spaceballs reference, as when the space trail turns plaid after engaging "Ludicrous Speed".

If you guys want, I had a previous thread about the personal proxy I've got set up here: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=39&threadid=986965&highlight_key=y

Then I can keep an eye on all those macs!

Welp, today's numbers are in: 2100 blocks went through the system today. This should get us at least 1 spot in the daily rankings.
