Sorry Dan, I figure your 1760 pointer got recorded along with the backlog that wasn't reported at the 12PM run.
Still, you are doing great man!

Just as an aside, my HW arrived at the depot today so I should get it tomorrow AM! :drool: We can then compare notes on dual VM's. :yesnod:

yeah, I figured it was almost a 6 hr post of points because I didn't have that many at noon and I should have had more than it said.

We as a team should start really kicking some serious but in the coming days with all the dual this and OC'd GPU etc. ^*^

Have you figured out how to install VMWare Tools yet, I have been following the instructions I found on VMWare site and have had no luck at all. :pc

No luck at all yet with VMWare Tools. :bashhead This is what's needed so that FahMon can cross the VM platform from XP or Vista, I've seen others doing it but I haven't seen any guides yet. Maybe it's too easy? :whistle :embarrassed: :lol:

Anyways, when the HW comes in tomorrow I'll be moving to V ULT x64 too so that should keep me busy for a while. I'll try to keep one rig up so that I can still connect, besides my X2 3800+ will now be a native Ubuntu rig running SMP on a much slower dual core. Has to be way faster than running a virtual Ubuntu under Vista and VMWare overhead. I'll be very interested to see the numbers on simalar projects. :yesnod:

I working on setting up a streamlined linux install, hopefully with everything that is needed, in VMWare and will make it available for people to download then. I'm going to try and set it up so it's as simple as entering your user info after starting it and it should make it so that you only need VMWare player and not the full-blown installation of VMWare Workstation/Server. More info as I get it available. :yesnod:

Excellent man, less overhead is always good!!! ^*^ I'll beta test it for you. :yesnod:
