No! No! No! The rules changed for RC5-64. You are supposed to report your *real* email address. Then use their web page to assign your contributions to a team. The problem was tracking down the real machine that solved the puzzle thru dynamic IP addresses. So now they want your real email address. Also by using your real email address you can check on your personal status with their stats page AND check on your team's. So what team number is FreeBSD? And a suggestion: run "./rc564 -c [0-5] -benchmark" for each CPU type then hardcode the best with item 15 in "./rc564 -config". Don't trust the auto detect. My PPro usually auto-selects type 1, 386/486, which is plainly wrong and not as good. I crunched the first couple of weeks incorrectly optimized. At least it was the 2nd best setting: CPU type desc kkeys/sec 0 Pentium 406 1 386/486 422 2 PPro & II 461 3 AMD 486 405 4 AMD K5 380 5 AMD K6 334 On day I'll try overclocking. How's that done? My bus speed jumpers are set for 66 MHz and the multiplier is 2.5, for 166 MHz. What do I do? Is it so simple as to lie and claim its a 200 MHz CPU by using a 3.0 multiplier? MB is an Asus P6NP5 and my CPU is auto-setting its voltage. Does the PPro have any kind of thermal protection or detection? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
