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

A great week for the team, even with the stats issues of the last few days we've still done a lot better than last week and have been doing much better than the other teams around us. We've gained an extra 5 days on the teams we're chasing and kept those pesky Russians at bay by the same.
Sorry anyone who's not been mentioned - you know what to do now


Stats compiled from Stanford official stats page and EOC stats page
Stomping and Dumping Stats calculated between 17:40 March 17th and 17:45 March 24th
Previous Weeks' News: March 17th, March 10th, March 3rd, February 24th, February 17th, February 10th, February 3rd, January 27th, January 20th, January 13th, January 6th, December 30th, December 23rd, December 16th, December 9th, November 25th, November 18th, November 11th, November 4th, October 28th, October 21st, October 14th, October 7th, September 23rd, September 9th, September 2nd, August 26th.

Sorry for the lateness, computer crashed halfway through on the first attempt
Only a graphics issue I'm sure as it's the same kind of crash I've been getting when I try and game (oh dear - really digging a hole for myself now ) since switching everything over to my gert mahoosive Stacker case
Anyway graphics card is now reseated and the news is done

As you will see I've added the difference in ETA of stompage for the other teams around us. If we perform about the same as the other teams each week then the difference will be -7, anything better than that will be highlighted in green and anything worse highlighted in red

Glad to see it's an all green week for the team - way to go everyone!

There's a lot of new names on the list, that's great. Welcome one and all.

Last week I talked about getting my first FahCore_a0.exe work unit. They kinda suck. I imagine that there aren't too many SSE enabled Linux machines out there becasue now all I ever get on the Xeoninator is the two scrubby WUs that use _a0. Grrr. At least it didn't break this week.

Into the top 100

Aceface is breaking away

Still can't get my other machine to crunch

Folding-type welcome to all the new folders. Well done team for getting the output up In celebration, I'm going to put a spare P4 (2.8 Northwood with HT ) online and folding.

I'm the second biggest stomper, only 25 behind BigDom.

I noticed i'm in all the lists, what is the Tiffy-Kat winners list? I can't figure out what it means, i'm a new to folding.

Thanks for the welcome and welcome to all the other new users as well.

Tiffy-Kat is the Folding certificate you get when you reach certain milestones such as 1000, 2500. Here's your 1000: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/awards/cert.php?u=lee87&pts=1059 . Print it out and frame it. Congrats

wow i must have broke the top 100 last week... and i thought i was doing badly.

Should be borging and dual core/dual cpu opteron server as soon it actually gets ordered for my college... gonna make sure its under this team at least.

Tiffies are the cetrificates that FAH hands out at certain points. Think of them as milestones. If you're particularly proud of a tiffy you're encouraged to post yours like so:



So that folks can congratulate you and wish you well.

Thanks guys. wow 670,000 that's a lot, well done.

Nice work team. My main rig is working on constant 364-pointers at the moment which is really helping my output. Good, as my second rig is working on one of those p2108 units which is taking absolutely ages!

hehe yeah but 400+ points behind

Seems I did better this week than I expected, wasn't even a full week being my first one... Guess anything less than 1600 points next week is going to be a disapointment... 3K in my first 2 weeks

Guess I'll issue a quick parrrrp to anyone with less than 3K points to stop slacking and get crunching..

Woo, 4 stomps, i'm slowly getting to 1,000 points

Thanks for the news Rich and congrats to all those tiffy winners.

I should be doing better, but a machine crashed last week and another got stuck on 100%? I'm off on holiday this week so no doubt i'll slack even more :

Excellent work team. Thanks for the news rich.
Should have three P4 3.0 GHz (800MHz/1MB cache) folding by the end of the weekend. How are these for folding? My last Intel was a P2 266MHz so I'm out of touch with Intel CPUs.

P4s are very good for ppd, especially the newer ones with 1 and 2 MiB cache. You'll rnjoy them.

I'd be folding more but I recently got Oblivion (which means the laptop is being used for that!) and the Athlon refuses to run stable even though it isn't overclocked.

The P4 is running 24/7 though .

When QMD work units come back, three 3Ghz P4s will be particularly useful - could get 1200+ ppd out of them!

Speaking of QMDs, is there any news on that front, beta testers?
