Antinomy

I've heard that reason definetely more than twice. I've gotta go and transfer some money. And I must not forget about this Will be waiting for this.

I've got another idea (if you're tired of them, let me know or I won't stop ). The clue is how many boints you can get with a certain testbed or piece of hardware. For example, I've got a good platform for socket 939 and want to check, how many boints I can achieve. I select CPU categories and get a list of records and boints for them. A summarize for each category would be nice. Of course, an application selection should be made besides the CPU one. For example, I've got good hardware for PCMark and can make a good challenge there, but have nothing to do in the rest because of the cooling. And there should be an overall search without defining the CPU (GPU). I've got a PCMark or CPU-Z testbed and want to look how many boints can I get, what CPUs to look for first and what score must I achieve. The navigation became more complicated with the tabs (i.e. the default tabs being chosen) so it pushed me on this one. Another addition to this feature is to make a wider selection. For example, you see a record you are unable to beat this time. So you either skip the entry and the page shows you the next record (the boints are recalculated) or it shows the next 2-4 results (places 3-5 first places) to check a beatable one. This thing can be used not only as a calculator but as a schedule too

Stop showing us a Duron we all know that Duron have (and maybe all of them) a free multiplier so changing it is a piece of cake. You can show no validations and videos on them. The Semprons is far more interesting. So I agree about closing the subject until you show us the same thing but with Sempron. Is that clearly written? Not Duron, Athlon, AthlonXP - the Sempron is the subject of interest. If you manage to show us validation and a video, you can make a photo of the modification to show us noobs some street magic

The combination of versions of spi and OS makes me funny

Why not go into your profile settings and select "No team"? In my opinion engrowing the number of empty teams is not a good solution.

Hello, I would like to suggest some changes in links so it would be better to browse through the site. Country links like http://hwbot.org/community/country/russian%20federation should lead to either http://hwbot.org/community/country/russian_federation/overclocker or http://hwbot.org/community/country/russian_federation/team at least this should be done on the main page - the country block and the page of country rankings http://hwbot.org/rankings/country/ Because everytime you look the country list then want to see detalized on overclockers or teams of the specific country click the one you chose and see the same list again with the only difference that the country is highlighted. And the CPU categories. The video is nice - when you click on the category link you go right to 3D that are viewed most frequently. But as for the CPU - you go to the info. It's interesting to look at it one, two and three times. But not each time to want to check the results. So it would be nice if the link would lead to 2D rankings cause it's the most popular target. Got more but don't remember atm. Thank you.

If it would be the only one

You didn't unlock anything - your Duron was unlocked at the beginning, the only thing you may have to do was the L1. And that is not an unlocking - you just don't understand how the multi is being set. I've read quite a stack of articles and written my own showing a bunch of myths on this. P.S. looked the video - yes, it shows an absolutely normal situation on how the unlocked CPU will work. The locked ones won't do this. You say that you can unlock the locked ones and change multi on NF2 - can we see the same video but with Sempron? Scotty, do you have any ideas how to make the category at least a bit more cheat-proof? You are welcome to PM me. We can afterwards send recommendations to mods

It's not all - just the top30 Pifast submissions.

Yep, it's the pre-39th week CPU. I've got some of these. No need to mod - their multi is free and can be easily changed. But some are locked (after 39-th week) and there is no way to change the multi on NF2 (you are free to read some smart articles about why this is so). The interesting part is that all Semprons have a locked multi so it can't be changed on NF2. This is the main but not the only evidence. There are more

Agree. The Semprons have a loked multi (like the CPUs after 39th week). And yes, the Sempron in no way is being detected as AthlonXP, it has some differs so the soft can check this out.

And this is not the only innuendo

If we look at the Celeron category, http://hwbot.org/browseHardwareProcessors.do?cpuSubFamilyId=17 and check to view the Super pi 32M resilts, we can see that s478 Celeron 315 has 19 results. But in fact http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/celeron_s478_315?tab=2drankings#/manufacturer.rankings.do?applicationId=7&manufacturer=intel&hardwareTypeId=CPU_931&hardwareType=CPU&tabid=cpubenchmarks it has 18. Some categories differ on 3-5 results from what is seen on category page and 2D rankings. If we look this: http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/celeron_s478_320?tab=2drankings#/manufacturer.rankings.do?applicationId=9&manufacturer=intel&hardwareTypeId=CPU_932&hardwareType=CPU&tabid=cpubenchmarks we can see a more interesting thing - the Celeron category page shows that there should be 25 results in PCMark. And yes, there are 25 listed. But if we compare the 15-20 and 21-25 results - these are the same ones counted twice. Would be nice if both of these would get fixed. Thank you

On the contrary - a fake result that got an achivement and was deleted afterwards. But the achievement is still active. So deleting a result doesn't make the achievement recalculated. For example, this one: http://hwbot.org/community/submission/1002215_danit_cpu_z_celeron_lga775_347_8180_mhz?tab=info

Yeah, and another one - can you make the achievements being recalculated from time to time? http://hwbot.org/community/achievement/804_joined_the_8ghz_club - I mean the badly known most recent record here.

The categories are not divided by core revisdions => all revisions of a certain model should be submitted in one place. My datasheet says that there are A5, A6, A7 revisions too (but not necessary all for the mentioned 1300MHz model) - this would make too many categories.

Yes, it's the bug that is about to be fixed in next version: http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6393 If you had experience with 1 thread being faster why not switch all affinity of all processes to only this core? Vista is kind of bitch that likes to switch processes from core to core making the C&Q work badly and other stuff.

Yeah, Scotty, there's only one problem. The wprime.exe is not the one to calculate the task. When you click the run button, DCOM service creates a new process (as I remember called wPrime.exe too, but with another process ID) and this is the one to do the math. If you select multiple threads, then an appropriate number of processes is being launched. So changing priority like you said will make realtime to the GUI, the window and as I suggest (don't remember the tests) will make it worse. You can't change the priority of the math processes after they are calculated neither - despite they are not killed after calculation being done, they do die when you start it next time. So your realtime calculation threads will be killed and new ones with regular priority will be created. If the answer was so simple, I wouldn't ask You can use for example Process explorer to check this out.

Ticket ID: 885 Priority: Medium The category for s423 Celeron is wrong - both the 1.7GHz and 1.8GHz. There were none Celerons with this package.\r\nThe results from 1.7 (1.8 is empty) should be combined with Celeron s478 1.7GHz Willamette.

One more question on this - how were the countries included in the region selected? I perfectly understand why Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan got here and why Lithuania and Estonia didn't (a very wise decision I must say ). But how about Georgia? Were the team members asked and they declined? Because as far as I know, the situation is rather same as with Ukraine - our governments are fightning with each other and their own nation. And as for the nations by themselves - they communicate very well (and against politicians of both countries) So the question is - did you ask the georgians and did the decline?

I want to make a thread for this feature so that opinions could be seen in a single place. Maybe this will be better than a dozen of them. If we look at the achievements for example: http://hwbot.org/community/team/pure http://hwbot.org/community/team/ocalliance We can see that they are bot sorted - the golden cups are in order - level 2, 4, 3, 1 in OCalliance and 1, 3, 4, 5, 2, 6 in PURE. It would be more nice if they would go sorted by number of level. And about the team place achievement - I understand the idea, but the usual level order would be better. And maybe make a "level # out of #" in some kind? So that you'd know, which is the higher and how good are you and your team. I'm not a designer - but I'll try to find similar ranking visualization.

Maybe the SMbus? it's just a extended I2C. The thing you need to know is the registers values.

Hey, David Blaine, what did you do with the search? In the morning I could enter "486" in processor search field and get the full list (remember, the 486 category link is dead ). And now entering 486 shows only these CPUs. Maybe it's a search engine bug? If so, it might be easier to delete the "i" from all names - the categories at the present moment are for all CPUs - doesn't matter whether it's Intels i486DX4-100 or AMD Am486DX4-100 or even Cyrix 5x86 (which though is questionable but not with the current number of results).

Another hardware database fix required: http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/i486dx_40mhz http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/i486dx4_120mhz Intel never produced such CPUs - the DX40 was made by AMD, Cyrix, UMC, SGS Thomson and Texas Instruments. As for the DX4-120 - only AMD produced such chips. So the letter "i" before the marking is an error. Thank you

Why not just minimize the window? think it should do the same. I'd like to know a way to change the process priority - does anyone know?
