He must be cheating...that is INSANE! Did he hack Deep Blue and use it for folding?
I think that he only has 8 total computers working for us, but with the new graphics cards each of them will output 4000 - 8000 ppd.
I did a small version of it when I added a $100 NVidia card to one of my systems. Accounts for about half of my points daily.
I remember when people were hitting 3k ppd. It was like they were from the mother-ship. Like TB said, graphic cards are the only way to rack up some serious points. Even something as mundane as a 9600GSO, when overclocked, can easily produce 4k ppd. For the bigger cards, you’ll need to upgrade the computer’s power supply, but that’s a real easy change.
A while back, SazanEyes sent a link to me describing his rig. I’ll see if I can find it. It’s a freakin’ beast!!!!
