Old CPU i7-3770 vs Fx 8350?

Hey, as you can see in that post, as many others, I’m doing well with CPUs even older than yours.

So, with your hardware and the i7-3370 I think you can for sure plot 3 in parallel and maybe 4… (on my NUC I have 1TB drive and I have been plotting 4 in parallel for about 3 weeks in a row without problem).

If I were you I will start plotting 3 in parallel, staggering by 1h each plot, just a few days to see how it goes… and then, once you make sure everything is working fine, you can try plotting 4, but staggering them by 1.75h-2h; it depends on the times you get.

Btw which OS are you running? I really recommend you Ubuntu Server if you are using this machine just for plotting.

PS. I suppose that you have another drive for OS, right?
