I was poking into individual stats a little. We have 994 active systems toiling for the team. My CPUs are down a little, but the slowest ones are being replaced this summer with 3.4 ghz AMDs.

We are still generating 40,000 ppd without our friend Klutz's computer labs.

Several folders are also BOINCing (in a nice way) and have systems running both projects.

If we can generate a few additional folders every week in the summer we will be back up to 50,000 ppd, awaiting the explosion that will surely happen in August. We might have 1,400 systems grinding away then.

We now officially appear on the FIRST page of Folding stats for teams. DU has faded into the pack. It may take them three more years just to break into the Top 100.

Expect #99 Monday morning!

I hope to finally get the new computers I was expecting back in March. I am disappointed that the Intel Core 2 Duo (Conroe) Extreme is initially clocked at 2.93GHz on a 1066MHz bus instead of the 3.33GHz 1333MHz bus that was rumored. I will wait on those until the 3.2GHz is released in Q4. The 2.4GHz and 2.66GHz procs look impressive. I may modify my AMD only plan depending on if the retail product performs as well as the prerelease benchmarks suggest. Otherwise I will just buy AMD 2.4GHz AM2 dual cores. I was considering a 2.6GHz but I do not like the odd multiplier DDR2 memory underclock.

"3.4 ghz AMD"

No such animal, do you mean the 3400+ (2.0, 2.2, 2.4GHz) on old socket 754 or new Sempron 3400+ (1.8GHz) on AM2?

The fastest AMD at the moment is the just released AMD Athlon 64 (Windsor) FX-62 2.8GHz AM2 Dual Core which is not yet available at any store that I checked until the 30th, the fastest you can buy is the FX60 (Toledo) Dual Core 2.6GHz or the FX57 2.8GHz (San Diego) single core, both on S939.
