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

Back over 100k PPD we go - way to go team!
Sorry anyone who's not been mentioned - you know what to do now

Thanks rich - now off to read the news - wanted to get the first post at lease once at year

Edit:
That's some serious SMP output goodness - great work people
My lowly 5.5k is very poor in comparison (but I've the whole farm on tonight for a little boost ) and as for lemonan

Not sure if the few WU's that have just uploaded are inclued in the weeks figs - if not I'll have a nice head start for next Thursday.

Off home now for a long weekend. Fold on good people, and welcome to our newest member

Once again thanks for the news Rich. I've decided to take a break for a week and play games for a change. I bought a 1950 pro last month and not played a single frame on it yet.

im a tiffy-kat winner

i dont even know what that is lol

Nice rise in output again - well done team.

Happy with my output this week - had a few problems earlier on in the week but everything's working good now. Yesterday was my first day over 10,000, although it was caused by the SMP server outage and was offset by the poor display the day before, caused by the same outage.

Now for the bad news.
I have decided, after much consternation, that the farm will be left "not on" when I'm away working. The stress of wondering what's happening when rigs are not returning work is something I can do without whilst working 28x12 hour shifts on the trot - I have enough on my plate without stressing about PCs at home.

Sorry guys I hope you'll understand.

Thanks as always to Rich and welcome to TheDean

FOLD ON TEAM 10

Stan

Woot! Good output me. 1100 ppd, about right really. I'll try and leave the 805 on more this week, 1400ppd would be nice, maybe more.

Fair enough Stan, don't be sorry Must be a right pain, you are the most unlucky person I know with regards to unexpected computer issues. Something always goes wrong, way more than simple chance would suggest (ancient curse perhaps? Bad karma from extracting fossil fuels and killing the planet? )

Fold on team. Vent sort smp out its easy mate.

Nothing to be sorry about mate - It's quite understandable that it's the last thing you want to be worrying about when you're working non-stop in a hazardous environment. Besides your output usually drops to almost nothing within the first week away so you may aswell be saving the environment a little bit by not having them on with no work.

Of course if you want me to babysit a couple of C2Ds for you....

Vent, my personal method: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8659793&postcount=29 after installing vmware of course (server version).

Shade under 10k.

Probably be the same this week because of holidays, but in two weeks watch out

that just with the 6.10 Ubuntu 64bit install on VMware?
nothing else installed etc?

Bah still in 4 figures... I just don't get it... I should be in 5 figures easily.

Anyway, thanks for the news as ever Rich.

Hopefully with this SMP client running things should start looking a bit better.

Aye. Tis easy. Those commands go in the terminal. (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal)

Does my score seem a little LOW for being at the speeds in sig, running 2 SMP clients?



thanks for news

Yeah, a bit. You got 500 more than me and I'm running one Mac SMP on a CoreDuo MBP and pair of windows clients on a X2 3800 at stock.

Thanks for the news, Rich.

Not a bad week for me, better than I expected seeing as I spent half the week transcoding DVDs which pretty much prevented FAH from doing anything...

br83taylor, what CPU is your single core? and what are the rest of the specs?

Its my work machine a dell P4 3.4 gig with HT (hence two active CPUs). 1 gig ram. Its on 24/7.

As noob a question as this is.. What's a Tiffy Kat?, cuz apparently I got 5000. And I like the sound of that .

Damn. I'm running a 3.2 at 3.8 and not getting results like yours. Could this be because I'm only running one client?.
