Set yourself up some sort of webcam system. Could monitor the farm remotely. That'd be pretty cool eh? Could provide us with a live feed so we didn't miss any of the "action" :D

What are you expecting? Strange lights and secret PC parties? :p

If you wanna stare at PCs spend a day in a PC store :D

A bit of a disappointing week for me considering the hardware at my disposal :(

I just looked at my stanford stats and I'm down to 11 cores (from 18) in the last 7 days.

Christ knows what's going on chez Bigstan but it's damned annoying :mad:

I'm getting to the stage now where I'm going to start switching the farm "not on" whilst I'm away as I spend the whole time worrying about what the problem is when stuff like this happens.

Anyway - thanks as always for the news, Rich and a hearty welcome to the new folders :)

Fold on team 10.

Got my sister to switch a few boxes over to my account.. ;)
 
Yay my first week isnt too bad :D second highest in the single machine crunchers! Im getting really bad luck because I keep getting these 380-390 pointers with 50,000,000 steps! I've had 4 already, Im crunching through 2 more :mad: I want the 600 pointers :(

Trust me you want the 364 pointers. ;)

And welcome to the team.
 
Without advmethods I've been getting loads of 600 pointers. Then rich dropped this bombshell:

good chap - these must have just come out of Beta so -advmethods will definately be the way to go at the moment

:D

Same problem as Beenom here (and many other folders), ridiculous amounts of 396 pointers :( . Gonna go with Rich for a couple of days, but might have to go back.
 
It's still a lottery either way I'm afraid - probably best not to put all your eggs into one basket anyway

Most of my machines are still on beta - the majority of which are now getting normal p21xx WUs :( though one still seems to be getting the 364 pointers
Another machine is on -advmethods and has a 364 pointer :cool:
My latest machine which I just got running the other night is still on no flags and has currently got a 600 pointer :)
 
All my machines, and possibly a borg, are all crunching 600 pointers. I may change one of my clients over to -advmethods and see what I get. If the WUs are good and the 600 pointers start to dry up I may slowly move the rest of my machines back to -advmethods.

I'll have my conroe in less than 6 months!

Also, I may have just roped in an E6600 user to start folding. Lucky for you guys I think he wants to fold for himself. But either way it will be another overclocked Core 2 Duo for the team :D
