Now I wish my contribution was worthy of being flaunted...

Quite stylish, isn't it? All the "cool" kids in school have it.

Meh, like any one person churned out over 3.6 million WU points solo. It took over 100 active members, all chipping in what they could; as they could. Be proud of what you did, if only for it being good to advance human knowledge even a tiny bit.

If not then to give the people at the power company a job for all the electricity you use running your systems more than average.

I don't pay my utility bills on my campus, so I've started running my Playstation 24/7, minus an occasional break it gets when I accidentally hit the shut down system button through force of habit and get lazy in turning it back on. That's where most of my WUs came from.

Besides, you do have something to flaunt at - doesn't matter how long you've been at it, you have more WUs than 90% of the team.

12th in a team of near 170 isn't half bad. And when that team is one of the most active in the project, well even better.

You bastards are lucky. I've spent at least the last 2 days in stasis, due to what has finally appeared to be a bad ram slot on my mobo. I'm going to have to RMA it too, so that means my C2D is down for awhile. Still, I might be able to use my 8800gt in another computer, so don't get TOO excited; that thing is at least 4k PPD on its own.

Decided to give this a go since my 4890 has been pretty much wasting away without a proper use.

Looks like Calguns is ahead of us again in PPD. And by Calguns, I mean the 2 people who contribute 80% of their points.

Does it really matter if one team overtakes us? According to ExtremeOverclocking, they're still 4.5 months away from overtaking us, while we're within about 8 hours of overtaking 5 different teams as of this post.

Not to my mind. If they want to crank out the the WU's; more power to them. No one can say if the 2 main producers for them will be able to keep up the pace for month after month. Which is why I think it is better for a team to be widely based. I've had problems and had to take my folders down for about 4.5 days but the KS team did not stall or fall back. It kept chugging along.

It doesn't matter if they're going to overtake us. More protein is being folded, that is the important thing. If anything, competition is good for this project, as it gives more incentive for people to fold.

Old crappy P4 test server no longer on desk. New Core 2 duo test server running 64 bit Linux in its place, running F@H. Seems to be able to crunch 12500 steps in an hour, FWIW.

Don't forget to OC it! I'm not much of an overclocker myself, and never thought I'd actually count every one of my hertz, but this folding business made me push my CPU. It turned out to be much easier than I thought it would be.

Q6700 2.66Ghz overclocked to 3Ghz here. Not a huge increase, but I can get a few hundred more PPD out of it. Any more clocking though and my CPU might burst into flame, it already hits 70 celcius under load, which is pretty high.

Dell Optiplex 755. If there's a way to OC a Dell, I'm all ears. Also please remember this is a spare PC I'm using to test as a Joomla content management system (as a future replacement for an Apache/Perl website currently running on a Solaris box).
