Thanks again to all that are helping us advance science and promote the peaceful use of computers.

Extreme Overclockers Stats for Free Republic ^

We expect to pass 200,000 total points on New Years Eve!

We have a chance to pop into the Top 1000 Teams by Saturday if we can have a few more systems added to the pack.

Still moaning for a suitable client, am I....

New Folding @ Home ping.

Please let me know if you want -on- or -off- the F@H ping list!

[MarkeyD]

I have an extra box doing nothing, I'll join.

[texas booster]

We have been watching your progress.

7 work units in your first week is impressive. As your system keeps crunching work units you'll continue to climb.

Thanks for all of your help!

Just joined in with my one measly little unit.

[Mount Athos]

I only got one single core CPU system but I overclocked it a little (20%). I love my AMD64 cpu, if I knew I was going to be folding I would have got a dual core one though. Guess I could upgrade some day. Nah not worth the cash. :)

[texas booster]

Well, we can't do much for BeOS ...

F@H can run alongside of BOINC, but you've noted how troublesome that project can be. Would you consider downloading the console version and running it as a service? That one seems very stable.

Third and fourth items on the download page may do you some good ...

I just bought a dual core AMD 64, but I have to use it for work so I can't really spare it. I just added a spare machine, but it's old and slow.

[texas booster]

You can run this on your main systems also. It does not need to be dedicated to F@H.

Go into the configuration tab and set the % of CPU available to around 75% or so. Excellent response and you get decent work accomplished.

You can also name more than one machine with your user name. I have four systems, three at home and one at work. Malsua currently is running with 10 CPUs on his user name.

[MarkeyD]

I'll think about it, I run datbases and compiles all day long on my other machines, and I don't really want to slow that down.

[texas booster]

Thanks for your support! You do not need a supercomputer to help out, just a willingness to help.

Looking forward to seeing you on the charts in a day or so.

Once I buy a motherboard I spend my next upgrades on memory and faster video.

After all I run Windoze ...

[texas booster]

mmm... dual core 64!

I really like the new AMD processors and have dropped off the Intel bandwagon completely. They have decent motherboards and support chips but I am not impressed with the price/performance of their latest products.

[umbagi]

Please let me know if you want -on- or -off- the F@H ping list!

On, please.

Thanks for helping get/keep this going.

Add one more SETI cruncher to the mix....

[Seamoth]

Just joined. Looks like my first box picked a tough one--3750 frames, ECD March 13th (!!). My laptop got an ECD of 10 days. Will be a while before I show up on your stats.

[rogue yam]

Is it okay that I don't have any idea what this thread is about?
