Ah, 1850. Good year; I remember it well.

1 moderately good CPU, 1 8800gtx, 5 really OLD CPUs.

I think folks acknowledge that not everyones situation lends itself to participating in something like F@H. It is one thing if the computer is going to be on and the cycles are going to waste, but a totaly different story when circumstances are different.

YES!!! It's finally payday, and I've been wanting a PS3 anyway.

On a side note, I wish that Microsoft would let Stanford build a 360 version of F@H. The Xbox 360 has the only triple core CPU that intel has ever made.

No.
Xenon's from IBM as any other current PowerPC CPU out there.

Damn you wikipedia!!! You have failed me again!!!

Last time I looked (admittedly a long while ago) it said Intel.

However if it came from IBM then It is still x86 architecture, meaning that even current F@H versions should work with minor tweaking. My point still stands. (If there was an emoticon to represent stubbornness, I would put it here)

Even if it isn't x86 there ARE other PowerPC F@H clients.

My point is that it's a fair amount of processing power that Microsoft guards very jealously.

No, it is PowerPC architecture. Lrn2lrn.

On the other side, yes, the PS3 client should work on it without too much rework. But I don't see it happening, I've already seen cases of PS3s dying because of 24/7 folding so go figure how much a 360 would resist on that schedule.

So, folding through all the F@H teams above us, there is a total of 219 (hey, I was bored and had nothing to do, k?) teams that have a higher PPD average than us. So, given time and the facts that neither we nor they change our rates of work, we are looking at being ranked 220nd....given time.

But, Jesus. Some of the monsters in the top teams are able to put out more than 250,000 points daily by themselves.

Ugh! 250K a day?? Shoooot! That is impressive, but still, getting to be ranked around 220 in a project as large as F@H would be impressive for any group. I feel that folding reflects well on KS and I'll continue to have my machines folding.

On another note this is a perfect chance to connect the laptop that has a borken screen that i've had in my basement for a year, and they told me i would never use it again :lol: on another another note the client seems to be having trouble with my triple sli 295gtx's, anybody else have a similar problem with a fix? :cry:

Just added my GPU as well. I wonder how that will affect it.

It has a nicer "display" than the CPU version at least.

Well, lets just say my first system upgrade was adding a 3.5 inch floppy and adding 4 megs of RAM chips (single chips, straighten the pins and insert into the motherboard one chip at a time. Repeat about 30+ times.) into my 386SX. I mean, geeze... my girlfriend opens the mailbox and finds a computer catalog and says, "You got 'Geek Porn' in the mail!". Yeah, I done the 12 step... in binary.
