I have quad core, 4 GB RAM with Sapphire HD6870 1GB for mining. & 2 hard disks. one is 500GB & other is 80GB.
Usually i use win 7 for everyday life & mostly i will be installing & uninstalling any new softwares i see. & its always crowded with softwares.

Only 3 days ago i got HD6870 & before i had 9400GT.
i am getting 210Mhash/s at 900 clk (default) & 230Mhash/s at 999 clk OC.
If i go over 1010+ system crashes & at 1005 i got white pixels..
Having ati catalyst 11.2 & also SDK 2.3.

Today suddenly i wondered since win 7 using more graphics ....for visual appeal, what if i try in xp, will i get more hash/s.
So, i uninstalled all the nvida drivers & installed 11.2 & SDK 2.3 of xp.

When i ran the same poclbm in win xp, it makes background things slow.
when mining, everything takes time to open....system becomes slow.

Some one used/using xp getting better than win 7 or same or less.
Please any advices welcome.

in device ,  u see how many by clicking down arrow?

Ya i too get RPC error so switched to slash.

Pinged deepbit.net & every time the average changed.
From 375 - 503ms around 20 times ran ping deepbit.net cmd

Installing an application requires at least 3-5 clicks as ok's & Next's...& extract is just one click & one step.

I can't accept this. as already kiv said , he has problem with single installation file.
Why many people don't have 7z support ?
Its an open source compression program which is free. people wont download a 2MB application to extract, & mine in GUI than stressing with cmd prompt?

http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

It has support for almost all OS.
from windows, linux..to

7-Zip Extracter for WinCE


Try it. I am personally using 7zip & winrar for more than 2 years & winrar is evaluation version.
And in my knowledge, any program extract correctly, only if u need to create compressed file, u need good compressor. so for decompressing 7zip is far better than BULKY winzip.

CUTE. thats the only word i can use to describe it.
A long time wait for a gui miner is done by you.
Thanks a lot for that.
I just saw it & downloaded & mining. coz its very very very simple.

Even though terminal window is ugly, but it is useful, so please in tab or even have extra option to turn on/off terminal window.
Since u use tabs , if a 4 * 5970, can be run in just 4 tabs with ur cute gui. so a lot of free space in display & terminal can use that, instead of tabbing terminal, as we have to click every time to see whats in terminal tab.
Terminal have to be separate.

I joined ur pool.
Even i mined some shares at 220MH.
But so far even after 7-10 hours no share is showed in my account.
It says 0000000 balance only & i have not received any btc. even micros.
also ur stats page says reward none.
No one so far paid?
Or i am the only one having problem?

when i run this i got this error
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>sleep 1800
'sleep' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

How to solve it?
Also is there any way to do incremental backup (I mean n+1 files)?

I tried today & it pops out a window saying "pliz wait a moment & then click ok"
After clicking ok, page refreshes & again same popout window.
It really hard to even close the webpage.
Buggy. & so far i cant even able to get 1 bitcoin

Slider not working & there is no way to get bitcoin.
its dead as for now.

Yes, the folder exists nowhere, coz in the place of "YOURUSERNAME"  u should put windows login username. ex: Administrator, Guest....

With 16 cores what u get is ok.

It actually don't support opencl, even though says supports opencl 1.1
My card 9400GT has same specs & it mines only 2500 khash/s at 550MHZ & at 700MHz, mines at 3400 khash/s

So, it normal.
poclbm gives much higher rate in cuda than RPC.
Try poclbm.
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1334.0

U better contact the ASUS support & ask them can u have two ati cards & run without cross fire.

Windows version 0.3.20 released in sourceforge

Just create a bat file & put it in the extracted poclbm_py2exe_20110204 folder where the poclbm.exe is.
The bat file of mine has this only

C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\poclbm_py2exe_20110204\poclbm.exe -d0 --host=mining.bitcoin.cz --port=8332 --user=***** --pass=****

it opens command window & stays & runs.
I am in pool mine so use host & port address.

Since u not in pool, u have to use the username & password of the rpcuser & rpcpassword in the bitcoin.conf file. & no need for --host & --port
The bitcoin.conf file for windows 7 is C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin

For Windows XP:    C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Bitcoin

Windows Vista:   C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin

Windows 7 32 bit

Please i dont know programming stuff.....

"and apply the patch in the instructions to the git version of bitcoind"
