Mmmmmm, decisions, decisions .....

I have a GTX295 gpu which is suspect - might work, might not. Do I try to get it to work, in a machine with a marginal psu, and make a last minute dash for glory .... or leave well alone until I have more time to sort it out???

Decisions, decisions!! :?

What power PSU is it? If it's 450W or less defiantly a no, no! :shock:

Wow, just realised we're on the last day today (I think it ends early tomorrow?), it's gone quickly!

It ends on the last SETI stats update tonight (~8pm UK time)

Time to get back to my usual projects and let the pendings look after the last day.

I've quite enjoyed being able to crunch alongside my team mates in this gauntlet, and that's in no small part due to all of the effort our team captain has put in to keep us focused on the task at hand. So I would definitely like to echo the words above, and say a big thank you to Mr Melter.

Temujin · Post by **Temujin** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 12:05 am

Yep, a job well done Mr Melter :thumbup:

and a special mention for Timby who kept me on my toes, fighting for #1 spot, 1st time in a whole bunch of years that has happened with Seti :shock:

Great job, Dave! Look forward to doing it all again next year!

Rockinfroggi · Post by **Rockinfroggi** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 2:37 pm

I can only agree with all the above, thanks Dave for putting in the time and effort.

Thanks for your time Melter it was good fun.
Not sure how I got to be a "cruncher of the day" :?

We should do these more often, like we used to. It's part of what made this team fun to crunch for!

melter65 · Post by **melter65** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 8:47 pm

Thanks to you all, it was fun while it lasted!

Bob and I were talking on MSN and saying the same as Darren. We should do more Team Challenges, it would (hopefully!) bring more members onto the forum

The next PrimeGrid Challenge is a 24hr crunch (PSP Sieve) on the 13th - 14th November. I'll be there!
