Welcome to all the new members and FOLD ON TEAM 10!!!

Woot another good week for me, only wish we could hold off those dutchies... oooarrrggh!

Yup afraid the latest fast team page had you at this:

87 booyaka 99519 96

rather than the main stats page which had:

87 booyaka 101279 97


at least it should mean you get your 100k next week and your 120k the week after

Another fine week from all.


Cheers for the news Rich!

Thanks very much for the news, Rich! Congrats to Gazzza on another week's excellent production. It'll be interesting to see how his output compares KE1HA's next week. Welcome to all the newcomers!

Nice to see some green up top this week. Shame we're gonna get steamrolled by DL.TV but meh, theres no stopping that lot.

Thanks for the news.

Gazza has some seriouis output going !!

This week's been a bit up and down with all the reconfiguring and CPU swaps. I'm also in a holding pattern, waiting on some hardware for the other six nodes, but should up there in a week or two

As always uncle rich, thanks for the weekly news !!!
.

Hey, top 20 again! I like these new WUs

Really tempted by a quad-core CPU. £165 inc delivery I have seen it for.

Bah, I should stick with my own little promise and wait until next pay day as I am still pretty close to my overdraft limit.

14 . jaric - 17,555

Click to expand...

I'm happy with that. Was having a good run on these new WUs, but now back to crunching 2 x 2610s

Thanks for the news Rich

woo in the top 25 well done to everyone and hello to all the fresh meat

wahoo, got me some lil borgs... now time to fly up the list

Many thanks for the news rich - we do like a bit of green up top

15th and very happy dispite losing my cell to 'the other' sub team but did give a good excuse to fill the fourm with lemon pic's

Welcome all the new fokes and keep up all the good work people - with all the talk of quads / bearbones and borgs should be an intresting few weeks ahead

Off to clock this baby back to 3.0 now the weather got colder

I've got the new EE X2 3800+ up and running now. It's been up for 18 hours and it's 39% of the way though a 1760 point p2653. That works out to about 915 ppd. Not too bad for £80. It's going to be the most overpowered MythTV frontend in the history of overpowered MythTV frontends.

The custom case I'm building for it is coming along nicely as well. I've got some preliminary ideas in my thread in the Small Form Factor forum and I'll do a full writeup in Case Central when I have enough to post.

Thanks for the news as always, Rich. Keep it crunching, everybody.

Hi all

I am new to this sort of thing but I have just started my PS3 on its first work unit and I just wanted to check I have set it up right.

I have the team set to team 10, is that right? It doesn't give me many other options. (are there any I have missed?)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome

Yip we're Team 10.

I've no idea which options the PS3 client gives you tho, other than user-name and team. But if it's crunching away then everything's probably fine.

Hi

It basically gave me no options, it just started crunching away. I have set it to team 10 manually (which it now comes up with) and set the 'Name' to OweO (same as my PSN ID). There is no option for username?! so I assume the 'Name' is the username.

It seems to be crunching pretty quickly (I have read that the PS3 is considerably quicker at folding than say my C2D @ 3ghz due to its cell processor design)

Anywhoo I will leave it on overnight and hopefully I will have done my first work unit

Cheers

Click to expand...

Yes, that's right. You also need to set the User ID to something that's unique to you (oweneades, for example), so that you can see yourself in the stats and in the weekly news bulletin produced by rich99million. A PS3 is very simple to set up for Folding, but one thing you have to remember is that, unlike on PCs, Folding is not a background activity. You can't play games and Fold at the same time. If you leave your PS3 on 24/7 it will complete roughly 3 WUs a day (each worth 287 points, giving a PPD of nearly 900).

Hope this helps. And, of course, ..... WELCOME ON BOARD!!

ms9cw

Sounds like you've set it up fine. Note your folding name doesn't have to match your PSN ID.

As ms9cw says, you get roughly 287 points per work unit and a work unit takes 7-8 hours.

Make sure you're folding with the latest PS3 client (v1.1) ; if your playstation firmware is up to date then you should be.
