BOINC Pentathlon 2011

[AMDave]

A sweet Yoyo day.
Looks like a lot of my pending credit went through last night.
Got 2 badges AND my 50K milestone all at once!

Going for the 'tonne' by the end of the challenge will be a tall ask but I'll keep the foot to the floor in hope.

/me throws the brake pedal out the window. Dead weight, yah?
Gear stick ... gone.
Not changing down anytime soon.
Wing mirrors ... gone.
Passenger seats ... take to the curb.
Feeling the heat from the bare metal floor after the carpet and shoes went airborne.
More speeeeed!
Ditching the sunglasses and the head-rests.
Come onnnnnnnn!
More speeeeed!
Who needs a steering wheel when all you want is a straight line?
... no wait.
When I get close to light speed I'll probably need something to hold onto. =}
Nooooo!!!
The radio stays.
Rocky sound-track MUST stay.
Pray for a tail wind.
Pray for a tail wind.
Ommmmmmm.

I blew a 100Mb hub when trying to emulate you, replaced it with a 100 Mb switch
(what's the use of a 1Gb switch when your router only does 10 Mb?
For the internal network 100Mb is enough, as most of my NICs are that speed)

I think most of my onboard am2 and up are all Gb... I think even a few 939 are Gb. For most of our crunchers I agree with you on 100Mb being more then enough. If you start moving large files around on the network from a dvr or network backups I could see where Gb can be a nice upgrade to reduce any internal network bottlenecks. I have a few chunks that are Gb but I should have picked at least 8 ports as you lose to many ports on the 5 ports with switch to switch connections. I would like to have a 24 port Gb if the price was right
