In a few days, I should be hitting the 5,000,000 credit mark.
I am doing this by running mostly the PrimeGrid PPS-Sieve sub-project.
I get between 3K and 16K daily with that project, depending on what else I run along side of PG.
I am at 2,668,011 PG credits.
What I would like to know is - Is there a project/sub-project out there that would give me a better daily RAC than what I am running now? I would like to be able to reach these million marks faster than I am now. I only have a 4 core AMD Phenom X4 9650 processor and Ubuntu OS. I do not have any GPU cards right now. I had things like new printer, new 2TB internal drive, new/used air conditioner for the heat wave we have now, etc., etc., for my spare money each month.
One day I would like to but a GPU again, but for now I really need to find a better RAC project than what I am crunching now.
With this heat wave, and the too-small air conditioner I bought last since my old one died during the heat wave and I was luck to find this one, my place is normally 84 to 89 degrees, when outside we are having record heat including historic record levels along with daily record levels. 84 to 89 degrees is better than the 103 and 104 we have outside. New York State [south central part of the state] almost never sees temps above 95 to 98 degrees during the worst heat of the summer. That would normally be next month, not July. I do not want to think about that.
So I have to be careful that my computer does not over heat. My 8 inch fan on the side of the case died a month ago, but it leaves a big "hole" on the side for air flow to help the board to keep cooler, but the fan on the power is pushing hotter air out of it that most days.
