I wonder...

Can I run -bigadv with a 3,57GHz Q6600 and 4GB of RAM? Using all 4 cores and 3072MB.

If not, what should be the best option for max PPD?

give it a try? If it can be accomplished just in time for the deadlines, it would be worth doing.

I'd give this a shot if I had an i7. Maybe it's time to pick up the x3440. You mentioned getting 8k with 4vm's? At what speed was that? It seems terribly low for running 8 threads. I get over 8k on my i5.

That seems like some huge bonus points. Is it after every 10 wu's or after everyone? Care to explain a little more how the points work?

Currently I'm on -smp 4 for the 10 WUs. On 1920s I get 1% every 5 minutes, and 5200PPD... when before I had around 3900, so my face right now is :U

Also the deadlines are for 16th... and the WUs get completed in ~9-10 hours. So, if will take me around 5 days to get 10 WUs completed. Then, I'll try -bigadv... and will update here

Edit: 56% RAM usage. Not bad (also running GPU clients)

5400PPD...

Is it normal it's been increasing ~100 PPD every 2% completed the last half hour?

I dropped to 4Ghz for HT @ 1.3v stable. Atleast its FAH stable, temps are high 70s with my V8.

They recommend 8 cores just to make sure its done on time.

When I ran 4VM I was at 3.2 on my old C0. I'll try 4 VMs tonight if I remember and get a better comparison up since I still have the old notfred VMs.

After you do 10 work units running regular SMP units, then close the client then restart running the -bigadv flag. These work units are MUCH larger and take longer. Due to that fact, they offer the bonus points to get people to do them.

No problem. I'll try to keep this up to date with linuxrouter's original guide.

I'd let it run for awhile could be FAHMon or whatever still calculating. Keep us updated on how it runs on a quad. I'm tempted to rebuild my Q6600 and see what it does running this at 3.6Ghz or so.
