Milkyway is trying to run but isn't using 100% of my CPU at the mo 
Edit: Fail I had Milkway setup for not using my GPU from when I did folding

Can't believe i missed this post till now....
with seti down, hopefully my backlog will tide me through with some credits daily- also going away, but hey, I'm

In it to win it
I'll be folding - my folding account is Team_Muck_Spreader
would be great to lots of new folders

btw Im on einstein during this seti drought

Milkyway for me seems to be the only project that's working for me
Seti is back up n running quick "smash n grab" 
Soldato
Smashed 'n' grabbed a few dozen WUs here, now safely stored. *takes hoodie off and removes bandana from face*

I got 10

No seti either for me, loads of rosetta though.

Just noticed this comp! Nice!

PS lol oops, just noticed that it started on the 21st so assume too late (if it matters, I have been crunching anyway since then if not everyday since I joined the team lol)

hi culinia, nay lad your not too late plenty of time you only need 14 days of credit out of the 8 weeks the competition runs.
I see you there at number 86 will keep my beady eye on you incase you start any of this stomping/parping malarky

Seti work is coming through more steadily now so grab it when you can

aaah, my project is coming online too late for this. I'm gonna try and get my school to fund 3 2600K's and maybe some Kick ass GPU's as well.
What's better...3 2600K's or some lesser processors with better GPU's?
maybe less, maybe more, depends how good i am at convincing them this is a worthy cause.

It depends entirely what project you want to go with, and whether you want to be efficient, or just plain flat out number crunching.
For Seti, gpu power still seems to be holding up, but they're monstrous in terms of computing power per watt. according to the wiki, the 560Ti's are most efficient in terms of GFLOPs/watt.
For folding@home, the emphasis seems to be with cpu power, where extra points are given to completion of big units, and running gpus alongside uses up too much cpu power that the gain in points is less than the amount taken away from the cpu.
Then again, are you doing this to complete wu, or to gain points?

Edited for you
Big CPU WU's in Folding do more science than GPU wus hence why they are rewarded accordingly.
Mr Biffa and Mr Reaver sah's can we add you to the growing list of competitors in this competition ? "in it to win it"
