since yesterday the runtime from ap5.03 (ap_5.03r112_SSE3.exe) decrease from 15 hours to 10 hours.
in all these shorter wu's I see now: repetitive pulses: 30, percent blanked: 0.00

looks like the wu finished in this case.
hmmm....anything happened on the serverside ?
on 4th april I calculated 19 wu's, all finished around 10 hours.
have a look at my machine http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=1196217010

Yep, "class Astropulse::T_ffa:   total=4.37e+009,   N=1" indicates the repetitive pulse limit was reached in the first short FFA, our mod stops doing FFAs when they aren't needed any more and saves a lot of crunch time.

You got a group of WUs from the ap_28dc08aa 'tape' which had too little noise to get above the remove_radar threshold, but enough to be detected by the repetitive pulse folding. Until there's a radiotelescope on the far side of Luna or some other place away from terrestrial noise, that's going to happen sometimes.

Added a second 8GB FB-DIMM RAM Kit to the V8-Xeon.
Both kits are from Kingston and should be identical, first is assembled in USA, second in China.
My first original FB-DIMM RAM Kit

SLOT 4 Channel D DIMM 0:  4GB FBDIMM China 9965422-009.A01LF
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I found nothing in the install doku about pairing like (SLOT1 & SLOT3) (SLOT2 & SLOT4).

D5400XS Jumper 23 is BIOS Configuration
1-2 Normal
2-3 Configuration
no Jumper - Recovery
-----------------------------------------------------------
I shut down the machine, switched the electricity off, set the Jumper to 2-3 Configuration, set the new FB-DIMMs into SLOT3 and SLOT4, switched the electricity on, started the machine, it runs into setup and shows all 4 FBDIMMs and 16GB total RAM.
I looked through the entries, all normal and quitted with F10 save Yes.
The machine shows : Switch off electricity and set Jumper to Normal (1-2)
I have done so.
OK.
Switch electricity on, Start the machine, it starts Vista64, OK

So we can assume Vista64 knows 16 GB RAM.
Now the Problem:
Some other installed Programms on Vista show still 8 GB of RAM (VMWare Server 2.0, Sideboard CPU usage shows 29% same as I have still 8GB, BOINC seti shows still 8GB, and Everest Ultimate shows still 8 GB)

it shows the temps of all 4 FB-DIMMs
hmmm....

If I start the machine new (jumper 23 in Normal position, then press F2 to look into the Bios still 8GB are shown. 
any ideas, why the RAM is not shown in full size ?

I set Jumper 23 to 2-3 Configuration, it shows again 16 GB.
Your hints are welcome

modify: 2 days later
I got all 16 GB runing, after disable OC.
Now I OCed the machine again, it runs with same speed as before but RAM is configured automatic.

Today I get a RAC of 16803 running our optimized astropulse 5.03. 
modify:
19 _heinz 17,106.68 2,102,178   

[_heinz]

Whats new after running 16 GB ?
 Memory bus properties
 1.  Bus Type  changed from Dual DDR2 SDRAM to Quad DDR2 SDRAM
 2.  Bus With changed from 128-bit to 256-bit
 3.  Bandwith changed from 12800 MB/s to 25600 MB/s

North Bridge
Memory Controller
Typ Quad channel 256 Bit
active mode changed from Dual Channel (128 Bit) to Quad Channel (256 Bit)

hint: it is recommended use all 4 memory slots to run quad channel modus !

My RAC drop down like a rock.
18th april rac=17500
26th april rac=15400
Although crunching 24/7 astropulse 5.03 all the time this surprized me.
Usually I run 12 wu/per day, sometimes some more, depending on the blanking of the wu. Looks like I get a wu-series with high blanking now.
My pendings increased from 146,000 up to
Pending credit: 174,653.22
----------------------------------------
have a look at the statistics
Tonight I will run the cache dry to make some OC experiments and reconfigurations.

What wonders me more is that i have seen a similar course of RAC on my P9500 about a week ago.
Its RAC went up again over the last week.

Guess you had bad luck with some lazy wingmen.

21 _heinz 17,539.20 2,429,461
today number 21 again
it goes a little up and down, as my pendings, depends on my wingmens

wow over 19000 RAC now

Today number 16 again in the top hosts,

I maked some VMware-experiments with several VM's (Xp64, NT4 with SFM[Services for Macintosh], W7RC 64Bit, Suse 11.0 64Bit) .
The best of all the VMWare is the flexibility(processors, memory, disk)  to create the VM's for a special task area.
Over the remote client vmware-vmrc.exe you can connect to the VM's over the network from different client and start  applications on the virtual machine. If the vmrc is connected you can switch easy by click to all your running VM's, if permission is set. Really cool stuff. There is a lot to explore und start interesting experiments.

Hi Jason,

are you interested to have access to one of my VMs  ?

[Jason G]

Could be useful/ How's that work?[tunnling & vnc?] and what are they running?

[I see..., List below  looks like a very useful combo for testing installers and other stuff, will have to read about it]
