King Buster Approacheth!

[Megacruncher]

Check this out to see how long the "Big Three" have before they are consigned to the dustbin of history! We cower at your approach O maister!

[Buster Gunn]

Who me?

Just crunching away. As long as my sister allows me to use her 2 computers(a quad and a laptop), I guess I'll inch my way up.

I was looking at computers today and spotted an AMD Phenom X-64 Quad that runs at 2.4 with 8GB DDR2 800Mhz Ram and interestingly a 3000MHz FSB with 3MB of L3 cache. Now that puppy running with a 64 bit OS should just obliterate w/u's.

If Boincstats is to be believed Buster has now moved to second place overtaking Nightlord [UBT has NL holding on thanks to a major PS3Grid upload not yet reflected in Boincstats but the trend is clear].

Both of them are gaining on me rapidly although a switch to optimised Seti, limiting my WCG to 1500 or so, might help me delay the inevitable by a week or three. Come & get me boys!

[Nightlord]

Come & get me boys!

Not a phrase often heard from the lips of the Megacruncher.......

Well done Buster, I should temporarily regain 2nd slot in a day or two when Einstein updates, but the writing is on the wall. Looking to remake 2nd a more permanent position in a month or two

[Buster Gunn]

Thanks guys. Just having fun. It will be nice to see where everyone winds up after the WCG slog is over. I'm concentrating on getting projects to 1MM. Even Seti. :)

[Megacruncher]

... I'm concentrating on getting projects to 1MM. Even Seti. :)

Just make sure you use the optimised client. It's the mutts nuts! :)

[Megacruncher]

Now the WCG slog is over I'm turning nearly everthing over to optimised seti, with just enough WCG to keep us afloat and to get me that million: It won't be enough to maintain my supremacy but it should let me delay the stomping of me by you for slightly longer than the 13 days currently prophesised by BoincStats. Call me ambitionless but my goal is to stay #1 until September at least!

[Buster Gunn]

I guess we should change the name of the thread to utopia-1 approacheth.

Just as well, I didn't want to hog the top spot for long anyway.

Go utopia-1. :) :) :) :)

[Megacruncher]

By my reckoning you are a Boincstats update away from the top spot Buster. :)
utopia-i is certainly coming through on the rails but won't overtake you until about 2010!

[utopia-i]

mmmm...... no fear guys and gals, I'm returning to my forgotten roots and starting up on WCG again

- but I'm almost ready to brush with greatness 8)

I see its my 1st birthday party on joining the Team on 14th Sept , all welcome, no birthday cake as such, just apple pie!

- will that be the day we reach the magical 100 million?

[Buster Gunn]

By my reckoning you are a Boincstats update away from the top spot Buster.

I'll try to break the wind as well as you have these past years. Great job leading us Willie. Maybe someday you can pass me by again.

[Megacruncher]

All Hail King Buster!!!

Well done. :) Your lead is 6K and rising & I have no reply. We who are about to sink into obscurity salute you!

[Nightlord]

The King is dead! Long live the King! :salute:


But the Lord of the Night will not be held back much longer; better get used to that sinking feeling Willie

[Megacruncher]

The King is dead! ... better get used to that sinking feeling Willie

Steady on. Dead is overstating the extent of my fall. I am merely deposed but happy to take my place as a loyal subject of King Buster. As for further sinking, I'm holding you off fairly well for the time being!
