WTF is wazza? and where do you get it ... :blink:

the easy way to perform wazza is with a program called ocx spitweaker.

The other method is manually by creating rar files or using command prompt

Fresh OS install on a standard hdd. Unsure atm if a ssd has any superiority over a hdd at this time. All settings and procedures the same as the latest submission.

logically it should because of its lower access times but dont know practically it helps or not....(since Ram Disks have been proven by others to not help SuperPi 32m hence not sure)

I was told this a long time ago about ramdisk and pi

...RamDisk doesn't work well for Spi because in order to use it, you trade off from actual ram size for the ramdisk size... in 32bit the are so many adresses - blah blah blah (how memory works and irql talk). On 64bit you might be able to use ramdisk with some positive results, but the same basic memory rules apply..

I paraphrased it just a tad... :laughing:

RAMdisk would then help with pi sincemost people limite it to about 1.15gB of addressable space anyway for 32M ... leavng lots of space for a ramdisk.

However I thought ramdisks were verbotten?

Epic WAZA SAUCE! There you go B, thats WASSUP!

This is how I feel running SPI.... http://www.break.com/usercontent/200...ut-485771.html

Dunno if u guys are doing this but install your OS with an overclock.

Just beginning to dive into cpu-tweaker and I have repeated this run three times back to back. :good:

Sweet Jeebus I am stuck at 1.40 :s

Those of you not in here yet don't let this opportunity pass you by to learn something. I promise nearly everyone will pick up something that will aid you in this benchmark. :good:

Manual copy waza type this in run box.

fsutil file createnew D:\largefile.txt 4000000000

(Put s a 4GB TXT file called large file on your D:\ copy to C (copy back to D) and go).

I got a very similar run on 1.3975v

What settings do I use for pifast?

And my superpi 8M run was like 3 minutes:shock: with 4.5GHz/1650 memory.

All the more reason for you to be here. :thumbsup: Submit them so we can see.

I just lost a 1.37.781 screenshot....:argh:

amd won't beat intel...ehhehe

That isnt the point Honda - He will be going up against like processors on the bot and needs to know how to maximize his runs. This contest is a perfect place to learn how to do just that. ;)

There is no doubt in my mind now that I could go back to any SPI submission on the bot and improve greatly on every one of them from what I have learned just this week. :good:

reinstalling os AGAIN!

NOOOO!!!!
what happened! :ohcrap:

Blue-screened when I opened ScreenHunter...should have just used print screen. :ohcrap:

i've always used print screen..

why do you guys use screen hunter?

I use fast stone.

But thats because I usually have a limited install of winFLP and it does not come with paint and even when you add it only saves in BMP anyway.

So fast stone works. Load it after a run (very small and light) hit print screen and I get a jpg saved in my pictures (default is PNG).

I also am having OS install issues now after the server 2003 I grabbed off the FTP server does not work with other enterprise keys or something... so I found one of my old disks and it crashed and borked the XP install.

Now I am having optical drive issues!!!

i just got back from sea world and cant wait to go back home and see if im going to need to order a hd :(

cuz when doing an install on raid you need the raid drivers on a floppy right ?

anyone selling a r3e for cheap ? ;)

sick score to lose, rick. You are teetering on the edge... I love it.

Going to start pushing again tomorrow to see if I can't join you there. :ohcrap:

I have to say that this is most def. a much needed learning experience for me. We are all going to be taking home some real tools for success after all is said and done and the tweaks, tips, and tricks are laid out. I know I will never be able to just run a pi bench again.... even if the chip is crap. :laughing:

Dom... if you break the raid you will be fine, but if you do anything to either of the hdd's the data is goners.... create an image of the install before you do anything. or just back up the irreplaceable data. movies, music and stuff like that can be gotten later if space is an issue. Back up your pics, docs and shit that can't be replaced and you'll be golden. :thumbsup:

please can't sleep =(
update on post #9

thanks for rick's help go Tennessee!

i had some real good luck with windows 2003 enterprise stuff but now i am doing much better with xp now i will try 2003 sometime this upcoming week

what kind of optical drive issue?
the lower filter issue?

pifast 18.77
superpi 8m 0.01.40.891

would agree with every1, got to learn a lot from this competition, regardless of who wins the prize, I am sure every1 participating will be the winners because of the knowledge we are gaining coz of the comp....

OCA FTMFW!!!!!!

LAMO :thumbsup:

No I made the mistake of trying to install OS when overclocked.

Causes issues with USB/PATA devices.

Well 4400 MHz CPU 1600+ mem at 6-6-6 does at least.

Dropped to stock and no more issues.

hmmm...dont have PATA drives hence cant say but otherwise full 4.5Gh CL6 install, nothing borked, except ofcourse less than stellar scores, :laughing:

Just a friendly reminder :

When you update a score remember to type "updated" beside your name.

There should only be three pictures in your submission at any given time. (PiFast, SPI 8M and your rig pic)

When you update your scores do the math...enter the correct times and total for your current submissions.

Be certain you have the desktop background in all of your entrys.

Failure to adhere to these rules will result in your submission being denied or put on hold. (per RomDom) :good:
