Minor Dip in PPD Coming: Explanation

[pjkenned]

Team,

I know we are battling EVGA. I will have a minor dip in PPD coming in the near future. Four Opteron 6166 HE's just sold. My plan is to use the proceeds either four faster dodecas now or Interlagos shortly. I will pull these four from dual dodeca rigs but it is going to limit my max potential ppd to around 1m. As many know, I want to get down to three 4P boxes in the near future because I'm in California so having space for a folding farm is expensive. The plus side is that this sets me up for coming back with more ppd in the somewhat near future.

Cheers,
Patrick

heaven forbid you reduce your output to only 1m ppd

That assumes 6903's. I also *need* to figure out how to copy Linux WUs to a different box. Two machines (at least) are going down tonight so I have to figure out what to do with the WUs. Is there a machinedependent.dat type thing on the linux client?

If I know what happened, the team ppd will climb.

You sold the system to an 0ld guy stuck in his Ways..... correct?

Fold with what ya got, when ya have it! Fold on!

In windows, if you just copy the entire FAH folder to a new box it'll pick up just fine.

Are you sure you cant wait for the current WU to finish?

Sadly no. He was interested in a 2P board though.

The plus side is that if I get more dodecas they will be faster (e.g. more ppd) and if I wait for Interlagos, those may be faster also.

He might be interested in a 4p if it's available... Runs off to check PMs...

No 6166 HE 4P available (for now but that may change in the next 2-3 weeks.)

Do have another 2P combo with a cool Tyan board up in the FS now.

based on your latest FS post for the 4P that will be a major dip

Windows stores the machine ID in the registry - isn't this a problem? - like will work but you risk losing the bonus points? Memory is Hazy.

/excuses patrick for adorable apology for only doing PPD that would have been #1 six months ago.

Your memory is probably better than mine. I could be referring to a transfer I did for standard smp units several client versions ago, for all I remember. All I know is, I did it.
