Folding@Home Weekly Team News - 27th July 2006

[Freefaller]

Good news everyone! With the awesome price of the 3700+ here at OcUK I have convinced my bro he needs to buy his computer NOW!

Should arrive Tuesday [assuming there are any 3700s left on Monday ] and will hopefully be up and running by the evening. With a spot of luck there will be a long enough Cat5e cable waiting for me at a mates offices... an "offcut" - honest, guv

Mmm two machines crunching away

Bah - I'll never catch you now

I go away on Wednesday so there is no guarantee my rig will stay running for the week I am away - so there may be a chance for you to overtake.

Still, it wouldn't be long before I came back and give you a good English stomping but at least you'll have the pleasure of stomping me

I just realised... i never removed my Ninja retention bracket when i sent my board back, which has been replaced.

Emailed the retailer, hopefully they haven't binned the old board yet!
Or would they have sent it back to asus? Hope not.

Meh, had a crap week anyway...and I'm now reduced to <200 average according to EOC.

 

[Whitestar]

Man this holiday has really killed my output. Oh well only another 5 weeks to go

 

[FreeStream]

whey hey, im not even on the list

 

[pmbuzz]

Just realised i'm top of the Singlecore league, chuffed tbh

I'm only running an Opty 146 on Asrock dual board with 2 gig of Geil Pc3200 and Freezer Pro cooling, o/c'ed to 2.6, can't seem to get it to go any higher, prolly need some faster memory ?
PC is on 24/7 though

Great news as per usual Rich sah !!

 

[Zip]

18 . Zip - 420

Not bad for being infected with all sorts of crap

 

[Unforgiven]

Congrats pmbuzz, looks like you beat me into second place of the single core league this week. Hmmm, maybe I can clock just a bit more...

Thanks for the great stats again Rich.

 

[RobOC]

I finally made top 100

Nice work.
I'm about to be Magman'd...

 

[Stan_Lite]

Damn and blast.

Looks like another X2 has given up the ghost

I'm down to 7 clients now instead of 12

Ironically, yesterday was my best day for about a week - managed to dump over 1300 points.

Let's hope no more turn up their toes before I get back.

Stan

 

[SiriusB]

Gee, I wonder what happened to those rigs...

*Bigstan gets home to find X2 missing*

For the life of me I can't remember which one of ye foldy tuypes was looking for an Athlon MP system. Anywho, there might be one coming up for sale soon: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17607250

I just thought it would be nice to get the word out.

 

[Joe42]

It was me, but i've kind of gone off it a bit now that normal stuff is so cheap.

 

[Joe42]

Anyone fancy speccing me an 805 bundle with a board that will overclock nicely and 1gb of basic ram for folding. Budget £200. Need lots of sata ports.

I could have got a dual Athlon mp 2800 bundle for that but i think the 805 bundle is better value, so thats what i'm after now.
