Tiffies are delicious:




Thanks for another great news post, Rich.

Damn you Billy ! I was about to stomp you and then you pulled up your socks again ... boo hoo!

On the brighter side, I got a 25000 tiffy .



Also, some may remember that I was having PC trouble a few weeks back but I'm up and running again now. I've just bought an XP 2500 Barton off the MM, so that's going to be replacing an XP 2000 and hopefully running at 3200 speeds. That'll give me a bit of a boost.

Thanks for the news Rich.

// EDIT // It's nice to see some green stats about now

Thanks as usual Rich Some good outputs this week.

Ack, I have 99,751 points. Ah well, next week is tiffy week!

I got my 200K last week, but forgot to post it! Only another 3 years till I get to the 1mill



Welcome to all the new people folding here since I last posted
Too many people over the 500ppd rate now though.. I'll be relagated from my top 20 spot soon enough <sigh>

Kinnison.

Time to bust out the wallet and get some new silicon?

Cheers for the stats Rich!
Although I'm a bit saddend by my drop of position in the top dumpers league
At least this week has proved that I can fold on the servers, no complaints about poorer performance

Rick.

My X2 will be o** for 36 hours, starting from 6AM tomorrow

Still pwning the old charts tho

Thanks for the news Rich and welcome to all the new members.
My output is much higher than last week as I have fixed my XP 3000+ system (broken ram) and have got my dual core system folding more than it was.

Also got a 5000 point tiffy.

woooo!

90k Tiffy AND I've got another 2ghz (ish) P4s to add to the mix (love my clients)

Well I will upgrade my main PC at some point.. at the worst I've upgraded within 18months (last was summer '05), so maybe around Xmas time.
One thing's for sure, when I upgrade it'll be a dual core And I'll try to keep the pentium 4 going as a standalone motherboard, along with my other farm machines
(Leccy costs will go up once more, as well as keeping my flat noisy and warm! - who needs central heating when you have 4 pc's crunching 24x7!)

Nice tiffies Mr Impaler

I should get 25K tomorrow and 150/30K before the weeks out *smiles*
Still catching you

Good going team, I see we've stomped em now and up to 52 ...

Welcome to the new guys.

I wanna increase production but I'm already at full power.... though I had to take the laptop offline due to imminent Easter holiday ending . However it's only something like 3 weeks of school and then study leave

Thanks as usual Rich

Thanks as always Rich.
Short post from me this week as I have limited time due to being on a GPRS connection.

I am back in Egypt, probably for 6 weeks or so. I have a couple of guys popping in now and then to keep an eye on the farm so, hopefully no hiccups like last time.

Laptop been off for a few days whilst travelling but still decent output this week (I think I managed to get a few more 364 pointers and didn't have machines down whilst testing overclocks etc. like last week).

Keep up the good work team

Stan

PS: Look out for my shiny 200,000 tiffy next week

Nah 'tis a spindly looking horse from the sound of it.

Im glad to be back on the score board, but not all is well, them modem keeps cutting off after 10 or so mins needing a reboot, this means I cant send or recieve new workunits, that often ...

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17565605

I'm still folding with just the X2 for now. Hopefully this week's output will be higher....

Having some serious psu issues, i anticipate some downtime.

I bought a harddisk silencer and a new seasonic s12-500 psu to complete my quest for silence so i can begin to run it overnight to fold. Its certainly pretty damn quiet now, just a few more tweaks here and there.
Got to do a better job of vrm cooling and hunt for hot things on the board to put heatsinks on, then i can run overnight.

However, the shiny new psu doesn't like switching on. Or at least it rather likes switching off again after a few seconds. No amount of unplugging of stuff fix's it, i had suspected it might be drive spinup current that was killing it. So after i spent several hours making all my wiring neat and tidy its probably got to go back and i'll have to put the old one back in temporarily. Not good at all.

I need some software to spin down drives, anyone know of any?
I'm not even sure if its possible from software. If not i'll have to either make a switch or buy expensive box's for the other two harddisks.

So thats my current status on the pc's and folding front.
