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


Yet another 1mil+ week, maybe not quite as good as the last few but still very impressive.
One team down, plenty more volunteers for a good stomping. Way to go team!
Sorry anyone who's not been mentioned - you know what to do now

Eat our dust!


Cheers Rich!

 

[booyaka]

nice one - lost a couple of WU this week when trying to overclock further than 3.2ghz to try and keep up with some of the bloomin' Quads!!

Welcome to the new members and fold on team 10

 

[SiriusB]

Ooof! Getting close to 30K. I know we have had an extra day, but still not far off.

Rich, would it be possible to stick me on Single Crunchers? I know there is a borg out there somewhere, but I don't know where it is and looking at the stats its been ages since it dropped any points.

Single Crunchers may be temporary but be nice to be near the top of just one list for a while

No problemo - thought I better do it now as there's no way I'd remember till next week

If it's a single core machine crunching part-time somewhere it won't make enough difference to worry about I wouldn't think

 

[ms9cw]

Thanks again for the news, Rich Congrats to sculptor on your uber-output at the moment - I'm sure the penthouse cell will be yours in no time at this rate...although Whitestar's been there a long time and might be reluctant to leave!

[Stan_Lite]

Woohoo 73rd in my first week back.

Can't wait to get home and start getting rigs together again (4 weeks yet though ).

Thanks as always for the news Rich and a big foldy type welcome to the new members

FOLD ON TEAM 10

Oooh my name is all red and spangly

Cheers rich.

 

[jaric]

Not quite sure how it happened, but I managed to sneak into the top 10 this week

Well done to all for another great week and nice to see Bigstan back.

Might be time to retire the borgs for a bit and join the single machine crunchers. I want a spangly red name too :'(

Thanks for the news Rich

 

[Steevo38]

Cheers for the news Rich. Don't know what the team would do without you mate!

Welcome back to Bigstan.

Made a big decision and retired the X3210. Gone back to the E6300.
Just couldn't get anything more than stock speed on the quad without temps going through the roof. Also it didn't seem to like the P965 board.

ppd hasn't suffered as much as I thought it would, so will stick with this combo for a bit anyway.

Keep up the foldy good work one and all and.........................

FOLD ON TEAM 10!

Steevo

 

[theheyes]

Heh, macrumors, my other haunt. I almost started folding for them before I joined you lot. Although my ppd these days is embarassing you wouldnt miss me!

I'm considering an overspecced media centre/PVR/iTunes Server/Backup box in the new year depending what sort of CPUs are on the market. Quad core without a doubt. I priced one up the other day (Q6600, RAID1 array etc) and I came to around £600 + Operating System.

Fold on peoples!

 

[SiriusB]

Run Linux and you wont need to pay for an OS.

 

[theheyes]

Run Linux and I can kiss my iTunes goodbye... I think...


edit - plus I dont wanna spend half my life configuring the *******

 

[SiriusB]

I thought this was a server, so could you not just dish out your .mp4artf134 to PCs that can run iT00nes

 

[Whitestar]

Thanks again for the news, Rich Congrats to sculptor on your uber-output at the moment - I'm sure the penthouse cell will be yours in no time at this rate...although Whitestar's been there a long time and might be reluctant to leave!

ms9cw

Yeah, I don't wan't to leave, it's nice up here. But there is nothing I can do to stop him at the moment. Work has to take precidence over getting the rest of the farm crunching and that will probably continue until feb next year.

I've been thinking about getting a Q6600 for home.
I'm going to run 2 instances of WinSMP. I have a question though.

Is the one with G0 stepping the 'Energy Efficient' one?

I'm thinking of seating it in a Asus P5E3 Intel X38 mobo with 2Gb of Crucial Ballistix RAM.

Does that setup seem good for Oc'ing or can anyone suggest anything better?

Don't know about the mobo, but the RAM should be pretty good.

Hi,

Yes the G0 stepping it the Energy Efficent one...

In my opinion you might as well go for the Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R and save yourself some money on a x38 board...

Stelly

 

[shadowscotland]

Thanks for the news rich.

All is not well in lemon central but will know more tonight after some more fault finding with 'borrowed' office equipment.

Edit: to add to that I needed to come into work on my monday off - pesky millionare clients - so not in the best of moods
