Yes, top 1,000 :)
I've got a second machine on - hyper-threaded 3GHz pentium w/ 1GB... running two at a time. This looks like a good cause, let's see what we can do!!
I've been watching as the team steadily grinds toward #1, over taking Deep Blue or whatever supercomputer is stacking the deck against us ;')
Free Republic Folders was in the Top 10,000 very quickly on the basis of just a few systems, maxing at 60% idle. It took a while to get to 4000, then just another month to get under 3,000 as I started adding systems "for test purposes, ya' know".
I noticed a serious jump at around # 2,400 as ya'll joined in, and in less than a month we have leaped to 1,765. As we get closer to the Top 1,000 the curve we climb becomes steeper.
The fastest machine so far has been an AMD 3500 XP on a fast Gigabyte motherboard, but just a cheap video card. Most of the systems are AMD 3000's with shared video - not the fastest but very cheap ($299 delivered with legal XP Home). I have added a couple of Toshiba laptops but one of them is seldom used.
All of the computers until Systematic stared advertising for the team were located in D/FW. I will start a thread for folks to join their new Christmas computers to the team and we can where everyone is located.
Hopefully world wide distribution very soon!
