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


A sad week for the team as we say goodbye to the legend that is Sir Bigstan, Knight of the Foldy-Table, may he live long and prosper in his new team. :cool:
Lots of red/orange this week though from the looks of it the PS3 teams have suffered worse than us - lots of new recruits so hopefully we'll gain more ground on the other teams next week :)
Sorry anyone who's not been mentioned - you know what to do now :)
Oh and of course... Fold On Team 10!!!

Cheers for the news.:)

Wow, I thought 8,000 points was ok for a week 18/7 but wow Cob has one awesome PC.

EDIT And not forgetting to give a hearty welcome to all the new folders on the team.:)

Top job chaps and:

FOLD ON TEAM 10!!!
 
Thanks, Rich! :)

Big Hello to the new Folders! :D

I think the difference is the drop in PS3 output to 900PPD. It was more than that a couple of weeks ago, probably due to the release of version 1.1 of the PS3 client and the PPD being adjusted once they had benchmarked the new client.

And, of course, there was Bigstan's departure this week. I hope he's happily folding away for his new team.

Still, over 10,000 points this week and a 20K tiffy for me. I'm happy! :)

it that two Linux SMP running these??

Yes where are my manners... thanks Rich :)

Stelly

he has a quad core and therefore running 2 instances of linux within vmware, must use a hell of a lot of ram and make his systems overall speed rather slow ehn he wants to do something, unless he turns 1 of them off
 
Woah... 17th top dumper :D

That puts me in the top 20 producers... come on! :cool: My output may even double soon as I have two people considering folding. One of them has an OCd E6600 :D I have a nasty habit of announcing something really good and it going **** up so I would like to emphasise MAY double :p

Plenty of new members too which is excellent.

It uses about 2gb. Each VM has 712mb, which is more than enough for Ubuntu and two clients, and VMWare itself is allocated a total of 1.98gb.

There's no real hit in general performance, although both vmware-vmx processes are ofcourse set to low priority. It's about the same as when I was running a single VM on my e6600.

I haven't had the chance to give it a test when gaming due to being in DX9-DX10 limbo (dropped back to a X300 after selling my 7900GTO and been waiting for the ATi cards :rolleyes: ).

nice one rich - an great news issue too, alway nice to have a good paragraph from you :)

Well I'm down two smp units (about five hours from uploading them nearly had 20k) but 14th with 17k I'm really happy with. and said two should give me a boost next week :D

Nice work Cob that truly is a monster folding bit of kit - *looks at bank balance* maybe next year :o

Also tempted to do a ddp per watt thread/table following on from an other thread if anyone is intrested as I'll need some AMD Fahmon benchmarks.

A big folding type welcome to all the new folks and....

FOLD ON TEAM 10

up to 55th on the week - not to bad - going to get my dad's pc folding over the next week or so as he is going away for 10 weeks and i will be able to just leave it on 24/7 whilst he is away!! ;) ;)

Should increase my output some.

Welcome to all the newbie! - i was one last week! :D

:mad:

I blame OcUK for my dip in production this week. I decided to take advantage of the crazy memory prices and bought another 2gb of RAM along with a shiny new Corsair PSU. While faffing about fitting the new PSU I decided to redo my watercooling at the same time. This resulted in the PC being "not on" for a day and then no folding for a couple of days while tweaking & testing. After getting back up running again, it lasted a whole day before the motherboard completely died :mad: No more Linux SMP while I'm waiting for the board to be RMAd. :(

I guess this once again proves the old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"


Thanks for the news Rich

Fold On Team 10!!!
 
My first real week of production, not too bad. I'm considering setting up linux vm on my main machine although i'm not sure i can spare the RAM. Tried to use my graphics card with folding but every time i shut it down to play a game, then restarted it the client would start from 0% again :confused:

THanks Rich!
 
There's a load of very poor standard WUs out there at the moment which could be what's dragged down our overall total.
I lost half a week's crunching on my borgs as they were all turned off for the bank holiday weekend which is my excuse for my drop in production.

As always, thanks for your efforts, Rich.
