Have you tried configurating the client to "Use Internet Explorer Settings"?

I will be receiving my Core 2 Duo in a few days, so I should be able to fold much faster, especially since i'll have a dual-core.

Heh. It's nice to be optimistic.

I was looking at some of the top teams, and they have 600, 700, 800, even 900 CPUs folding for them. We won't be there for a long long time.

But we are still making excellent progress as it is.

Top 1000 is definitely doable, top 100, not so much. We have to increase the number of CPU's by 10x.

Yes, with the console version it seems to happen when you load it up in a different directory, and possibly when you reconfigure certain options. It thinks you're using a different CPU.

Hey all!!!!
GPU folding is now here!!!!!!
Only works for X19xx gpus for now:

Download the GPU client if you have a X19xx. They say about 440 points per day for a X1900XT.

I'm probably going to be using my new A64 Comp as a folderin the next few days, so look for Lord of the Ming on Team 44358.

Look forward to having you with us, Ming.
