My current machine is an HP DL380 G7. It has 2 Xeon X5660 CPU’s @ 2.8Ghz with a total of 24 cores. It has 60GB memory, and 8x 900GB SAS drives in a multiple raid configuration. I use it as my development system, so it’s running Proxmox Virtual Environment server. This allows me to run multiple operating systems on one machine. It has 13 loaded right now, but is only running 2 live – one is Openmediavault, which I’m using as my home media server and file sharer. The other is running a basic version of Debian Linux, which is my Rosetta machine. This is using 20 of the CPU cores with 32GB of memory.
BOINC CPU Benchmarks…..
Measured floating point speed 3516.26 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 44928.48 million ops/sec
Work Unit performance.....
20 concurrent work units
approx. 8 hours per WU
on average 150 to 200 credit per WU (used to average 200+ credit per WU, but that seems to have dropped lately)
Work Units would probably complete slightly quicker running natively on the machine, but I need the flexibility of running everything in a virtual environment, and I don’t really think there would be much of a difference.

Recently upgraded from the 6c12t AMD Ryzen 5 3600 to an 8c16t Ryzen 7 3700x, paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080. Practically zero difference in game performance currently but just preparing for the new Xbox and Playstation coming this year, which have 8-core Zen CPUs as well. 32GB of DDR4-3600 RAM, and 3x 8TB drives to store several backups of all my pictures and main drives.
Running a single operating system - Windows 10, with Ubuntu 20.04 running "natively" in the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
BOINC CPU benchmarks:
5315 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
18349 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

The main pc I use every day - Most of my points have come from this - wish I had changed Fan years ago now  The main rig: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz [Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7] (8 processors) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti (2048MB) driver: 442.74 OpenCL: 1.2 Laptopold faithful - hp probook laptop that apart from when I lost house has never been off and has chugged away on Asteroids, Bitcoin, Rosetta and Seti without any issues - seems very slow now  Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2310M CPU @ 2.10GHz [Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7] (4 processors) Neither has ever run using all cores available, really a 4 and two core if you don't count hyperthreading, the i7 certainly could never run more a couple of cores. the laptop is bombproof, its currently running three out of the four cores when one Rosetta task doesn't stop due to lack of memory Couple of others that have a core or two here or there Had the main two for many years now, got them not long after release, the video card also - I could do with an upgrade |

Put my laptop to work too - a Surface Book 2 - so I can turn off BOINC while playing games on my main desktop and hit that sweet 144 fps, and I don't need to take the laptop to work now that I'm home all the time!
Surface specs: Intel Core i5-8350U (4 cores, 8 threads) running Windows 10 Pro
2472 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
10176 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

Shame I cant use the works laptop i have at home - newer than anything I run i7 with more memory than anything I own. they know if any executables are installed though and something called boinc would no doubt get their attention and I don't think it would go down too well.. just checked my main pc to see if everything was running, Einstein was paused waiting for memory - damn Rosetta tasks use some memory. 4gb seemed a lot at the time  from task manager memory in use 3.2GB, available 750mb edit - its kicked in again now - one of the rosetta tasks is near the end (only running 2) so is using a lot of the memory and it is the pc I use for everything browsing etc I was just looking at a video clip on another site. |

Spilled some water on my laptop so it's been out of commission for about a week ;_;
Thankfully the important bits are behind the screen and not under the keyboard so it should be good to go after a week in a cooler with our rice bag...

so it should be good to go after a week in a cooler with our rice bag... fingers crossed. Been looking around today for possible upgrade options - everything from trying to get main rig up to 8gb memory to a new motherboard/cpu I saw on offer (then I thought about the extra's I would need psu, hard disk etc). I have resisted...…. so far lol  |

Yea, good luck with the laptop. Its always a lottery with liquid damage and depends where in the circuitry it came into contact with. Hopefully it was turned off at the time, and the liquid wasn't near the bios battery. Fingers crossed though.

I'm in the process of a few upgrades too - it's this crunching business that starts us thinking about more powerful, faster machines.  I've already upgraded the processors and memory of my main machine, and am waiting for new (secondhand) processors for my server. |

I did get carried away with a couple of dual athlon xp boards and other single processor rigs at the time, spent an awful lot just for DC projects. There always somebody with a bigger cpu lol Scary how many pc's and GPU's some people are running |

I unplugged the two pieces (the screen comes apart from the keyboard) as soon as I spilled the water, and all the important parts are in the screen, not the keyboard so it's all good after some drying. |

Great news about the laptop, and well done on the swift action. Lucky it was just water. Coffee and fruit juice spills are particularly hard to repair.  |

I'm finally done with this round of upgrades.
My everyday machine has gone from dual 1.86Ghz Xeons to dual 3Ghz Xeons, and now 32GB of memory.
And my server is now running dual 3.46Ghz Xeons.
And that's my upgrading finished for now, although...........
