Just a little background on xstremesystems ...
Know how we sometimes have little flame wars? Most of these new members are from the Rosetta project where xstremesystenms was the No 1 team. Well, there was a suspicion of some ... underhanded ways to jack up the point totals. One or more forums became pure flame wars and really teed the XS members off at Rosetta.
The management at Rosetta was NOT at fault for the flame war, IMHO, but did nothing to quell the ruckus. Looks like they need some serious hard nosed Admin Moderator boot camps over there.
Well, most of the members are dropping a couple of years of distributed computing over there and are moving to F@H and the World Computing Grid, starting over from scratch. So we have some legitimate competition until Klutz gets back in the house.
BTW, most of their large point gainers are running several overclocked systems, and many are getting the ATI X1950 XTX and SMP just to see how many points a single box can get in a day. Both SMP and GPU systems can rack up 500 -700 ppd, per system.
Maybe we should introduce the Viking kitties over to Rosetta ...
