Frank had hardware problems. Big hardware problems. My tip is to never overclock hardware and to never change the cpu's voltage (if you set it higher you can overclock move usual). After a few months that asks for disaster and a few months later you can throw away your chips. Only very few chips like duron overclock well, but those which are produced near the tips of what is reachable with todays technology have big problems to overclock without proper cooling (so like at -40 degrees celcius like kryotech or vapochill or something similar like a peltier element, just some bigger fans are usual not enough). Anyway, that's why the game against diep was so delayed. They had hardware probs and we started later. So they used the textmode version of patzer in at least my game after frank had put voltage back from 1.75 to 1.70 volts for the cpu's and from 1050 to 1000Mhz P3 (dual). And i'm not sure whether that means they also used a different book because of all these probs, i wouldn't be surprised! Frank can comment here and on his newsticker! Note also Sos had big problems the first 3 rounds which explains it's score partly, but it appeared after all that this was not hardware or a parallel bug in SOS, but that the system missed some libraries. After installing a compiler onto the system the libraries were set ok and it worked properly. Best regards, Vincent
