Hey this is getting better, up another four spots to 137

... and I drop to # 4 place in the team. look at that Gall go, Ladypcer is gunning for top spot in the lot boys.

I can be a wee bit competitive when it comes to running DC programs.

 

[ChrisIMRIE]

Hmm, what machines are you using 'ladypcer'

They look pretty good

Ok.. some tips for the team.

AMD beats Intel in cpu ratings.
Linux boosts your cpu rating.
Make sure your screensaver is turned off and your power settings are set to "never" shut down anything.

Case in point-
I just built a new 64 bit tower a few days ago, and installed a trial copy of Windows XP64.
Running FaD on it gives me a cpu rating of 162. Not great for a AMD3000, but it is my first Sempron, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
Today I installed SuSe 9.3 (regular 32 bit), and it gives me cpu rating of 206.
That's quite a jump, and I did nothing but change the OS.

 

[ChrisIMRIE]

Points taken, but the problem is that i cant change over to Linux at this moment in time because im a Windows man, all my website authoring and development applications are Windows based, unless i run dual boot.

Anyone point me in the right direction for some of this SuSe 9,3 Regular Iso's?

SuSe 10 is the brand new one. SuSe 9.3 is tried and true.
