i have done other projects for the more bang for buck. Great, which ones produced the most? |

i have done other projects for the more bang for buck An entire thread dedicated to complaining about granted points rates used towards to earning badges that have no value and cannot be used, except to compare to other peoples' badges that also have no value. Great way to spend your summer (or winter). |

Great, which ones produced the most? A better question is: Which projects benefit humanity the most? |

Nope, there are CPU only projects (e.g. WCG), GPU only projects (e.g. GPUGrid) and mixed projects (e.g. Milkyway, Einstein). The numbers in the chart should be used only as a general comparison between projects. They do not compare apples and apples but apples and a fruit salad.    |

That certainly explains why I couldn't get a direct answer. No one knows! :)

New court, but the pairings are definitely not Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy

Sek,
----------------------------------------There is something wrong in your second experiment. It seems pretty obvious that your quad was not really running at 1.6 GHz as you were thinking. Maybe the system told you so but it was not true. I think I remember you said (long ago) that your motherboard does not support changing speed? |

Yes I said I could not change the speed as in OC or anything, but the OS can still do the power management saving features. and just to confirm start GKrellM and it reads out 1.6, when BOINC is stopped, but when BOINC is let run, it just switched up to 2.4, regardless whether setting
----------------------------------------sudo cpufreq-selector -f 1600000 then cat /proc/cpuinfo read out 1.6 during idle and 2.4 when BOINC runs. Then found I i suspend computing first and run the benchmark, you can see the GHZ flip flopping and the temp jumping and dropping. Sideshow: Now I know more how to handle lm-sensors and the kernel commands. So what locks it down to 1.6 for benchmarking? Need plan C.
