Hi All,

Just to let you know, to support your effort I have got some spare PCs at work [Nvidia] on this thing, so are we all trying to get to the top 100 again??

Regards,
Nvidia Bitch

You see, when you say spare PCs, we know you mean about 20 Dual Xeon 3GHz and about 5 Quad Opterons. So yeah, we should get pretty high...

Don't know Whiteknight, I do have loads of spare pcs, and boff pretty much guessed it... dual opterons.... dual xeons... even my work pc!

I am under Nvidia_Bitch on UD, will put more machines on there today!!

P.S. What systems are you running UD on? [spec?]

It varies.

Initially, i only had a handfull of P3s doing it. Now i have a WORLD of xeons on the case, churns out a lot more units.

THe only problem is that UD isnt multi threaded, and you cant run multiple instances of it.

That, and you cant run it on *nix, makes its quite limited in its installed user base.

You can get around the multi-threading limitation by running the second copy in a Virtual PC. IT performs almost as well as outside of it.
