Well, know what? I was lacking something called nTune that provided the missing DLL. I'm folding on the GPU client now and it works great, the GPU temp hasn't gone above 64ºC and it doesn't seem to affect the CPU too much since it's in the low 50s.
Also, gigantic 2,000,000 steps WUs.

Seriously? Nice. Damn, I don't think my laptop's chipset is supported. Oh well.

Just hooked up a CPU and GPU client each to run intermittently. 9800GTX, iirc.

In about 12 hours we will have smashed past rank 2000!!!

Just for laughs, here's a chart comparing our growth to other teams. ( guess which line is ours )

I've noticed that our rank up rate has slowed down. Looks like we're up against the heavy hitting teams now. But we are still out producing them.

Oh, and some jerkface named Bara has produced over 200 work units. Gratz.

Yeah, I think I may nickname my PS3 "Hanako".
I actualy started keeping a fan blowing on it during warm days. It is probably absurd to do it, but it gives me a little peace of mind.

It's possible our growth slowed down a bit because I haven't folded at all in the past week or so. =P

Too much fun with gaming lately.

Yep, thats it. We are blaming you.
I've caught myself thinking about upgrading my old 8800 GTS to a newer card and bumping my old card over to my girlfriends computer... then I shake myself and start thinkuing about joining a 12 step program. F@HAnon anyone?

We'll be in the top 2000 shortly, if not already (stats update underway). This means that we'll be able to get individual user stats in addition to team stats. Enjoy showing off your epeen even more, all while curing cancer.


Also, congrats on our first million points!

Well, I think I've hit the highest that I'm going to get in the group pretty much. Might hit 6 soon, but for the last few days it seems like me and Duo2Cuo have been leapfrogging each other in places 7 and 8 and you lot in the top 5 have some pretty serious scores. Thinking about running it the main family PC as well, has a Radeon 2400 card which is pretty much the minimum required for the GPU client so I imagine it wouldn't run too well. Still, an extra CPU client can't hurt.

Also, we're at 2015 now, few more hours till we hit 2000 I reckon.

(Edit - Scratch that, 2008 now)

I switched to a GPU client to see if it worked better then my CPU client.

Holy shit.

I am a credit to folding.

Be sure not to let it get too warm. Keep a bucket of cold water closeby to calm it down and hug it from time to time.

Our rank is at 2005 as of 12:19 Pacific DST.
Running the client on more CPU's has an effect on the work units produced even if they are not the newest machines made today. I'm running 4 different clients on 4 different CPU/GPUs.

1. PS3 client.
2. Win 6.23 Uniprocessor client on an AMD Athalon 64 1.8 GHz and 2 GB of SD RAM.
3. Win 6.23 Uniprocessor client on an AMD Athalon 64 x2 Dual Core 2.21GHz and 4 GB of DD RAM.
4 Win 6.23 GPU client on a Nvidia 8800 GTS with 640MB of DDR3 RAM.

Since I build and upgrade my own computers I can't really give a specific age, but it has been over 2 years since I've upgraded hardware. I might be forced to replace hardware soon, but I'm holding off for as long as possible due to wanting to wait on price drops as new stuff replaces old. (Yeah, I'm cheap.)

Now its just taunting us... but considering the rate at which we were going, I'd say we've hit the 2000 mark by now.

Hmm, anyone else see a huge discrepancy between the size of CPU and GPU WUs?

The smallest and largest CPU WUs I have seen were 150 and 2500 steps, respectively. While the smallest GPU work unit I have seen was 7500 steps, and largest being 15000.

The smallest GPU WU I did was 2000, but I had to revert to the CPU client because it was just spitting out unrealistic deadlines.
