maybe that's a gtx 295 i'm thinking of, but anyway i think i might have found a match for my current gtx 285(1st revision cards are a bitch to find) and its a decent price at $300

Nice...you are right. It's hard to find a 65nm GTX 260 like mine. everywhere you look it's all newer versions. I feel your pain.

Do you have SMP client running with that i7?

I'm quitting folding for a while (not totally, but taking the biggest contributor off), feels like I'm just pissing into the wind at the moment, it needs a team effort

Yup, it's very frustrating.

Doesn't the point system, etc... take away from the processing speed the University needs?

Not really sure what you mean...but ya...the University uses your computer and does research on it. It uses your processor and graphics card.

You get points based on work units your computer completes.

Ah...bomberboysk...you might come back to the team. About time, we need you. Our team average is slipping. I think people are loosing interest if you look at the stats.

I think we should organize some kind of Fold-a-Thon with maybe a few small prizes. Maybe I'll talk to Buzz about it and get something going.

I dropped down to only my server folding, but if we had a fold a thon, for a month long, and then prizes (like, custom user title hint hint) went out to the most WU, I would turn on 10 more machines!

Not to make me sound like a greedy or anything, but electricity is expensive!

First person to 2,000,000 PPD gets a date with Archangel!

I win.

That's a good idea. I've always wanted to have some type of F@H related competition. Jet organized something similar a couple years ago.
