For Team MacNN to be ranked #1 in RC5 it would take...

about 887 GHz of G4 power, give or take a little.
This is based on the current performance of the #1 ranked team.
Could we scrape up that much processing power?
For us to be ranked in the top 20 would take much less, but I didn't figure that out.

If every one supposedly on the team would run the client every day, we could probably make the top 50 without too many new members. It seems like alot of people get exited for few days, then blow it off entirely. Just put that startup/hide script in your startup folder, and let it run!
I made an RC5 extension set the other day for the Tower at work, and tuned off everthing except peek-a-boo and ethernet, and it brought my average up from 3.95 mkeys/sec to 4.00. I just have to remember to swtch set and restart it before I go home at night. Should get me another few blocks.

As soon as I get the new DSL modem from Qwest, my output should stabilize again. Kudos to their customer support for a painless replacement.
Been real jumpy the last two weeks. Apparently "Code Red" or whatever it's called turned my modem into a paperweight.
I have to unplug the power every few minutes to reset and get a connection again.
I bumped the buffer cache out to 1500 and change out manually twice a day.
Successfully grafted 16MB of chips to a 16MB RAM card last nite and my new PB5300c has 48MB RAM. I don't think I'll do S@H or RC5 on it tho. A 100MHz 603e is gonna be slow, and I don't have a means to network it yet anyway. Maybe in a couple of weeks when I find an ethernet PCMCIA card for it I'll try RC5 on it. I hooked up an old 7500/604e - 233 running S@H and it's taking 38-43 hrs per wu. sheeeesh. I had to set it up to program the modem because it connects via serial which the G4 lacks. I need a bigger desk.

Zac, check out the arstechnica forums, network forum for info on how to fix the router. I made the thread there.
That will help you out.
I'm not going to be doing much crunching for the next few days, the Ti is headed out to Apple for some repairs.
Supposedly my dad's office is getting 7 1.4GHz Athlons, and I'll put em all on SETI, and get all the old boxes on RC5.
Once we get a new website we can start a huge recruiting effort.
We can get a ton of power for both SETI and RC5 from the people that visit macnn and the forums.
