distributed.net Pre-Release clients v2.8012.465 now available

[alfaguy]

I got this from http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=39&threadid=311003
http://www.distributed.net/download/prerelease.html
I got almost 10% increase but the only bug Ive found is the client doesnt always maximize correctly.
I hope they fix it soon.

I have used it for a few days... But something's wrong according to this thread (http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/Forum7/HTML/001214.html)

Did you see anything strange about those numbers?

[Wiruz]

I'm running it now - never run it maximized anyways....

still waiting for mine to finish some blocks....

[randy48]

I just D/L'd it and started it running. I'll see if it's any faster http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif Might just have to reload about 100 cows if it is http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[randy48]

I don't think the new client is faster, on my Athlon, it's a little slower http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

[izzzy12k]

The client's speed appears to be the same as the current release, maybe a tad slower. I just upgraded my video driver so I can't tell for sure.

Izzy, have you down loaded the moo sounds yet? That's coool http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif People walk in to the office and my box moos at 'em http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[alfaguy]

WOAH.... What am I missing.. Izzy how did you get the GUI?
I havent seen that yet, unless I dont have mine config properly

bthom70

[Scott Evans]

It is within the pulldown menu, can select crunch-o-meter or console (text) mode

[WildCajun]

Anyone tried it on a P4? I'm thinking they might have added some optimization.

[alfaguy]

Thanks.. I found the GUI feature earlier this AM. Im starting to like it more...


bthom70

[jl123]

But I don't think that they can optimize it for a P4. At least that was what this whole discussion was about. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[codybear]

not any faster with an athlon and a tad slower with a celeron 366

[foth]

Randy,
How about a link to the moo sound? http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks,
foth

[randy48]

I put it on a machine in one of the class rooms, that didn't go over very good http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif You'll have fun with it, especially if you also d/l the "big cow" desktop pic http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks for any help http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif.

[Brydon]

No need as I managed to kick start my brain and got it up and running http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif.

[Strip]

Maybe wrong thread to ask, but what can I use to convert that .eps to something useful?

Brydon, you might have a problem here:
