A great big warm welcome to the team!
If you haven't done so already then why not check out the Folding@Home Setup Guide and the Quickie Guide for more foldy-tastic tips especially for when you're in a rush


Apologies for my slackyness with the news this week, the news is exactly as it would appear if posted on Thursday so if you've since reached another Tiffy it won't show in the news till next week I'm afraid.
Sorry anyone who's not been mentioned - you know what to do now

Big nosedive in my production there...combination of crap WUs, PC (and internet) only being on 12\7 thanks to the landlord, and none of my other machines submitting anything.

my production is going up every week so im happy ad im now in the top 200

thx for the stats rich

even tho they are late

Im back so everythings back on at full pelt

Good work guys, thanks Rich

A couple of people seem to like the sig background I knocked up

Could have been a better week for me but I have had nothing but crap WUs.

Ohh, top of the single crunchers league. Nice if it was for real! rich, I am no longer a single machine cruncher - pretty sure I said in last weeks news so you can move everyone up in the list one place

Cheque from sale of caravan cleared earlier, so I've treated myself

You see the dust trail ahead of you? That's me that is

Thanks as always for the news Rich (better late than never ) and a warm foldy welcome to the new peeps

Fold on team 10.

Stan

Oooo oooo stan! Lemme know how that keyboard is! Looking at it myself but I don't wanna shell out that kinda cash for keyboard if its a pile of crap!

Nice spec btw. See you went for the GeIL RAM and a better PSU

SiriusB

29 . vent - 3,532

being out of top 20 makes baby VeNT cry!

wow that's a very nice treat you've got yourself there Stan - I see now why you said you'd be catching me sooner than I think


I'll just have to see if I can squeeze some more power out of what I've got - can't afford any new rigs but I may be able to stretch to some upgrades

Wow Stan thats some fine kit, I take it your not using it for anything graphical?

Actually hes swapping that card with an X1900XT from another one of his rigs.

Will do - looks good.

I checked a couple of reviews and it looks like the Geil is good for at least 450MHz so it should do fine and I checked the PSU calculator thing and worst case scenario, the crossfire option on the rig was about 660W

2bullish: As Sirius says, I'm taking the X1900XT from my current gaming rig temporarily. It will be getting crossfired X1950s when they come out next month (probably watercooled)

Stan

You say you work on a rig.. I assume oil or gas. Must pay well! Wish I could afford a new conroe rig with the prospect of watercooling and Crossfired X1950s!

Fancy getting me a job?

SiriusB

I guess that's going to be a new main rig given the keyboard and speakers?

Oh, and this is also an "I stomped rich99million" news special edition. Just a shame single stomps don't count.

It will indeed be the new main rig

I know wht you mean about the single stomps. I haven't been in the top stompers list for months - it's almost impossible to get two up here

Oil - drilling rigs to be precise.
At present 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off in Egypt (not as glamorous as it seems, it's bloody hot and not very pleasant

Never mind, the money's good

Stan

If we want single stomps to be shown then I'm happy to do that - it's no extra work anyway as they are all worked out already and it'll just mean copying and pasting a few extra lines


let me know if we want them - for this week we would have these extra
