OK, new thread for the next week.
First, a big shout out to the SETI and BOINC members who have added CPUs to the effort. Remember, its Team 36120, NOT Team 0.
Next, congrats to all for bumping our team up to 456 processors and 209 user names. We have a number of new users in the team, with over a dozen folders now from GetLoaded.com all popping onto the hit list this week.
Special mention to Klutz Dohanger, who has quietly volunteered over 100 systems to fold. That is 20% of all of the Free Republic Folders systems actively engaged in research. Klutz is the first to earn 100,000 points.
We now have ten members who have contributed at least 10,000 points each. Malsua, Ken in Texas, Andrewksu, LSimpson and kingu have all reached this milestone, and Uriah will join them next week. Great job!
Even more impressive, our team now boasts 113 members who have folded at least 1,000 points. That is more than the entire number of CPUs folding for our erstwhile left-wing environazi competitors!
Free Republic Folding@Home Stats Page
On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 487. We are poised to overtake (today):
MaximumCPU (these guys are serious overclockers)
BadgerBadgerBadger
ECU-SCIS-Cluster (82 CPU cluster in Australia)
BensCustomCases
Greenland HS in Winslow, AR Tech Labs
and the Univ of Stoney Brook Math Club, Stoney Brook NY
As we continue to grow there are a number of milestones coming around the bend:
Top 400 by next Friday
Top 300 by the end of the month
We have 610,000 points so far and have folded over 5,000 WU. We will reach:
750,000 points by Jan 24
1,000,000 points by mid February
Thanks again to all that are helping us advance science and promote the peaceful use of computers.
Extreme Overclockers Stats for Free Republic ^
"but there are a few hundred machines, that are just waiting to receive their clients. ... and have a few spare hours, to donate to just loading the console."

Can't you install over the net? Or put the install on a usbdrive?
Happy to report just joined w/two P4 2+Ghz machines. Need help though; one machine says it can't connect to secondary assignment server. Will it automatically retry or do I have to do something more?
I should also be able to add new machines at the end of February or beginning of March. All 2.0GHz Athlon 64 / Opteron or better, several boxes are 2.4GHz Athlon 64 with Linux. It depends on how things go.
Not dozens, at least not yet. (I own all of them.)
Just keep chugging along. The two PC's I have folding have both received 5+ day units recently.
I did a quick search for that in the F@H help files. Couldn't find anything.
The client calls back home trying to reconnect and update work assignments. Probably a Stanford problem.
Thank you. I searched all over and couldn't find anything.

I love it. We're RINGERS now. And BTW roland, the number of active CPU's is the second line, on the Stanford stat team page.. 497!!!!!
I like ringers!
Where is that posted?
"Although, something seems odd with those 7-day numbers...I'm pretty sure we weren't 0 on any day in the last week."
You probably weren't at 0 last week, but Extreme OC only tracks the top 2,000 teams - all those 0 days before the 17th were before you broke into the top 2,000, so they don't have stats for you guys. You're welcome :)
One for all and all for one, right? Don't think this means you have to overtake me, though ;)
Thanks. I bookmarked it. I guess those people over there don't know how silly they make themselves look.
They really are naive.
For them to move up the next 5 ranks, they have to notch up
about 1,000 points. For us to move up 3, to 399, we have to put up about 15,000 points.
Hey, they posted my little math lesson over there..... but it seems no one understands it. LOL !!!!
DU Folding@Home Thread #5 - Gaining on the freepers
"...You can have fun catching Freepers along the way. It's a great fringe benefit to joining Team DU. :)
The Freeper team stands in the top 500 -- let's knock 'em off that pedestal they're sneering down on us from; what do you say, DU?"
Wow-- the team has gotten 30K+ points today! Impressive. I see that we have 500+ processors, too.
Yeah, I don't think they (well, most of them, anyway) realize how steep the hill gets as you get closer to the top. At their current rate, they're looking at cracking the top 500 sometime around the end of May - by that time, we should be well up into the top 200, maybe up to 150 or so...
