Our production will drop slightly over Christmas when the energy nazis shut down Klutz's folding farms.

We will gain several new folders over Christmas and lots of our current folders will get newer, faster equipment.

I am still hopeful of an ATI X1900 video card for our home brew PVR. It looks like the ATI cards are worth from 330 ppd to 660 ppd just by themselves.

For now I will be a responsible adult and pay bills, instead of buying toys.

How do video cards help? I keep my folding apps minimized most of the time so the CPU isn't wasting cycles even sending video update requests to the video card.

I have one additional machine running at home but it is so old and slow it might take close to a year to do one folding task unit. It is good enough for the kids to do homework research on though.

I hate having to be a responsible adult too.

*sigh*.... energy nazis...

But yet, it's coming up on the 1st anniversary, and it hasn't been a bad run a'tall, has it? Should break 4 million by morning, or at least by sometime tommorrow.
