Everyone post your farm (a farm in DC terms is whatever computers you have crunching for you) here, and what they are running right now.

Here's my system list.
Note: the work systems are approximate, I'm actually not sure what everything is

Home:

• 1 Ti 500 My main laptop. This will probably be retired after it gets back from being repaired from me melting it by running RC5 full time
• 1 G3 400 Desktop It runs Ubero or RC5
• 1 PM 8500 150 Old desktop, it runs RC5, but in a crunch I could put it on SETI, and it does 48 hr times. Snappy box
• 1 PM 7100 66 My router. It does 25 RC5 blocks per day
• 900MHz Athlon Thunderbird. It's running RC5 now, will switch to SETI and ubero soon.
• 1.53 GHz Athlon XP. This is my new DC system, it's currently some parts lying on the floor. It will be doing SETI.

Farm 1:

• 7 1.2GHz Athlon Thunderbirds Right now 3 of these run RC5, two run SETI, and two run RC5 and Ubero. This setup will probably change as this will be my main ubero farm.
• 1 1.47GHz Athlon XP. You all know of this as the Team server. It will handle all team stats as they are written, but right now it runs SETI and Ubero, mostly ubero.
• 500MHz P3 Team SETI Q. Also runs RC5

Work farm:
Note: this list is approximate, and these comps will only run seti or rc5.
They are all off right now, but they all are running RC5 now. All the comps above 800MHz will be switched to SETI as I can switch em once I get back to work. I'm pretty sure this list is complete.

• 2 1.47GHz Athlon XPs
• 1 900MHz Athlon
• 5 850MHz P3s
• 1 650MHz P3
• 2 450MHz P2s
• 10 or so 400MHz and 233MHz (not sure how many of each, or even if 10 is right) K6-2 and K6-3 comps

Misc Comps I have crunching, if I can remember right.
These are mainly friend's comps, mainly in the dorms, that are crunching for me.
I'm not sure of all the specs. They all run RC5.

• 1 1.3GHz Athlon Thunderbird
• 1 1.2GHz Athlon Thunderbird (I think this one is still active)
• 3 Celeron 733s (I think they all are)
• 2 unknown laptops, done months ago, no clue what they are by now
• 1 450MHz Pentium 2
• 1 166MHz K6

I think that's what I've got

So, what do you have ?

OK. I'll bite...

Not much of a farm, but it would probably explain why I'm keeping with rc5 until it is completed.

Not at my apartment, but I have control over :

PowerMac 5400/120
PowerMac 7100

At my apartment :

PowerMac 6100
PowerMac 7300/200
Quadra 800

I will probably see if I can drop another Q800 carcass I have to this in a day or two. Will also see about converting a Q800 into something with a PPC card that can run.

Obviously, I'm not going to be going over to SETI or Ubero with these machines. So RC5 is stuck with me until they are done.

As for why, well.... Saw the info on MacNN and figured "Why not?" 44 days later, I've met one of my two New Year's goals -- to be ranked higher than 150,000 on the RC5 list. The other is to be higher than 150 on the Team MacNN list. *That* one is gonna be a bit tougher.

I Have
Home: 1 1.4 ghz Athlon Tbird
1 450 mhz PII
School Dorm Room:
1 1.6 ghz Athlon Tbird
1 450 mhz G4 Mac os X.1.2
And for the big surprise!!
I happen to be the assistant to the director of Technology at my school and i am trying to convince him to install seti on our 100 workstations in our Lab. They are sweet 1.4ghz tbirds and i would love to add them to our pot. I just need some way of hidding the program and making it run at the login prompt. they are windows 98 machines. I can't promose anything but with some help with these problems i may be able to get them online by the mid of JAN.

[cdhostage]

I have a single iMac 500. It will soon be running Ubero.

[chris v]

Power Mac G4 450 Sawtooth
Power Mac G4 450 Cube
Power Computing Power Center 150

All running RC5 24/7

[Arkham_c]

Ok, here is my "mini-farm":

Home:
1 G4/450 running 10.1.2
1 P3/750 running WinXP Professional
1 G3/600 iBook running 10.1.2 (new! and still part time)
1 Celeron 366 running Windows 98 (when my wife has it on)

Friends:
1 G4/450 running OSX 10.1.2
1 G4/733 running OSX 10.1.2
1 Celeron 1GHz running Windows ME

Work:
1 crappy P2/266 running WinNT

I have a couple more boxes that I could plug in, but I haven't because the office is next to the baby's room, and the hum might wake him up at night (the G4 anf P3 together are already loud in there).

Those include a G3/400 running OS9 and two Celeron 500s running Linux.

[kkneisley]

JEEZ SCOTT!

I was only half kidding about what you weren't running

Good God!

Well, now I understand why you came up the Ubero ranks so damn fast. Here is my measly "garden" (it sure ain't a farm!)

1 G4/800 DP running 2 Ubero Agents (java text)
1 G4/500 coming online in 2 weeks or so, once I archive it and get OS X installed.

[discstickers]

Right now I have a Ti 500 and a Celeron 500 doing RC5. As of the 13th, I'll drop the Celeron and add a Dual 500 G4, a 1.4 GHz P4, and a 1.7(?) Athlon. The last one is my friends so I don't have much control over it. Hopefully he'll start up RC5 again when he gets back to school.

Scott: Your Ti melted down? I've been running RC5 almost constantly for over a month now on mine with no overheating.

[acidrain]

its nothing much, but why not?

733mhz Mac g4 (with too much ram) 1.5 gig of ram.

566mhz celeron/win98

133mhz router machine/win98

all running rc5.

check out team yakima if you want some crazy stats.

[The Dude]

My...small farm is composed of:

PowerBook G4 550MHz w/ 512MB RAM running RC5
PowerBook G3 400MHz w/ 1GB RAM running Seti
ThinkPad i1200 700MHz Celeron with 128MB RAM doing nothing (for now, if someone can instruct me to set up a static IP addy in WinME, I'll be much abliged)
iMac 233Mhz G3 with 192MB RAM acting as a router to the other machines via a 56k line.

Every megahert counts!

[Osirisis]

Not much but it can kick out some crunching on a good day.

1 Dual 800
1 Pentium 500

On a good day, I can crunch 4500-5000.

[legacyb4]

My farm stats...

Now that the RC5 race is over, I've pulled my Macs off RC5 duty and put them on Ubero although I'm starting to think that with the 2 to 3 times productivity jump we get with Altivec, keeping them on RC5 might make more sense. The only problem is that it's not quite as invisible and easy on resources as RC5 was; I already had to pull it from a friend's computer due to low memory problems.

Home (Ubero only):

1 x PowerMac G4/500 DP (Encore)
1 x Pentium III/500

Farm 1 (RC5):
-
10 x Celeron/533
4 x Pentium III/500

Farm 2 (Ubero):
-
PowerMac G4/400
PowerMac G3/266
3 x Pentium III/500
1 x Celeron/533

My farm

...an iBook 600

That's all, I'm afraid.

edit: it's running rc5

Here's my farm:

RC5:
1 G4/400/AGP
1 Pentium III
1 iMac 333

Seti:
1 original Bondi Blue iMac (hey, every computer counts, right?)

Ubero:
1 G4/400/PCI
1 G4/733
1 G4/867

[Tigerabbit]

First Post! Woohoo! (…distracted by shiny object…)

Anyway:

Pismo 400 (G3 Powerbook, OS 9.1) ~16 hr/WU
Bondi 233 (G3 iMac, OS 9.2.2) ~29 hr/WU -- Seriously debating overclocking, but don't have the time (guts)
7100/80 (ancient beige PowerMac) w/ 256K cache chip ~62 hr/WU

I retired a Performa 6290 (~105 hr/WU) and made it the scanner and CD burner operator. I didn't think 10 WUs in 6 weeks was an efficient use of electricity.

All units run (ran) Peekaboo 1.5. The 7100/80s workunit times were almost halved by installing a 256 K cache chip, available for under US$10. The 7100 and the Performa both ran only SETI, Peekaboo, and just enough OS 8 to boot up.

[Dr Evil]

Just one 867MHz G4 cranking away on RC5 most of the day.

I am not switching to something else until its alti-vec accellerated. I gave up on SETI after running it for nearly 3 years, including beta testing the mac version. The work units were starting to take forever and I found out they were rehashing the same data, so I switched to something more viable. But I did do just over 700 units on my B&W G3, averaging around 12 hours per WU at the end, but during the &lt; version 3.0 days, around 6.5 hours.

[wulf]

at home:

• Quicksilver PM G4/867
• Lombard PB G3/400

at work (3 days a week):

• 1 x Graphite PM G4/533
• 1 x Titanium PB G4/550

(will hopefully get hold of a Powerlogix G4/500 upgrade for the Lombard soon - gotta love that Altivec )

edit: all crunching RC5

Before I list what's in my farm I want to mention that a G4 should only be used for RC5, since it really kicks butt in that arena.

I've got my G4 867 crunching on RC5
My 1.46Ghz Athlon XP working on Ubero, with the memory trick
1.4GHz T-bird on SETI
1.GHz P3 on SETI

I working on getting more of my friends PC's working for me in SETI, or possibly RC5. But there is some negotiation to be done.

PS Scott, which one of those machines is the Linux Box agent I see in your Ubero stats?

[Scotttheking]

The 1.47GHz Athlon XP
I'm loaning the 1.53 to a friend right now since I have no place to keep it.

[PowerCube]

It's not much, but:

Home;
Cube G4 500 running rc5 24/7
Crusty the Compaq w/Pentium MMX @ 233 running rc5 24/7

Work:
Broken down old Acer box w/Pentium MMX @ 233 running rc5 24/7

At least the G4 gives me respectable numbers!

By the way, cipher13 if you read this, I've been crunching on my Cube almost non-stop under OS9.2 for MONTHS now, with nary a problem!

Equivocator said "You could always leave that team and join MacNN! "

Been there two years, after a friendly invite from Barb, and with only about 15-20 active members, we are still in the top 15 small business teams.
MacCPU was a pretty nice little upgrade house, but economics pushed them to other endeavors. Leaving there would feel like "walking out on my friends".
Call it a "personal" thing.

I've been hanging here on the boards for a long time too, which is why I was one of the first to join the MacNN RC5 team. I have learned a lot here and I hope I've helped a few with Mac problems. This is a good community.

When(if) SETI ever wraps up, I'll bring those Macs over to another MacNN pursuit.

[Particle Man]

I've got:
G4 Quicksilver 733 overclocked to 867MHz running RC5 under OSX.
Grape iMac Rev.D overclocked to 366MHz running RC5 under OSX.
Beige G3 with 400MHz ZIF running RC5 under OS9

I'll soon add a Pentium III 700 running RC5 under Win98

Overall rate right now is 1,168 KKeys/sec and getting better daily.

[tmikkelsen]

This is an estimate of the farm at work. Don't have the time right now to look in our database for exact numbers.

Work:
30 QS G4s. 50/50 867 + DP800s
20 G4 DP 450, 500, + 533s
20 G4 400 + 450 + 500s
30 Beige G3 Towers.

All running SETI

[Tigerabbit]

*the sound your just heard was my jaw hitting the floor*

[chrisale]

Here's my "farm". They're all RC5, Ubero seems pointless right now for me. Most of them don't crunch 24/7... they crunch most on weekends and at night.

Home:
TiBook 400
Duron 650
Celeron 500 (I think)

Work:
PCs:
Dual Pentium II 333
Dual Pentium II 533 (I think)
Dual Pentium III 733 (something around there, could check but I'm lazy )
1Ghz Pentium III
2 Celeron 650s
Celeron 500

Macs:
1 Dual PowerMac G4/450
1 Sage iMac (G3/450?)

I think that's it for work...

Friends:
1 Dual 1Ghz Athlon (added him a couple days ago! woo!)
1 unknown... Pentium II 400 I think
1 TiBook G4/400


Not too shabby I think

[SkiBikeSki]

Well I've been recruiting so I guess I should post updated info on my farm.

My G4 867 is running RC5. It's a G4! It's got to run RC5! It's so good at it!
My PC Athlon 1466 is running Ubero with the IBM tweak, look for it in the 10 fastest agents.

2 P3 1Ghz running SETI
2 Athlon 1400 running SETI

I go around asking my friends if they want to help me out in my distributed computing "quest", and then give them a choice of what they want to run. I tell them of course that SETI has the best looking screen saver, and they always choose that. I think that over the next couple of weeks I could have about another 6 to 8 PC's running SETI.
