I think it's about time we revise this thread and keep the folding spirit alive! :)

I just started, so I'm at 4359 points with 15 WU's ;)

Our team stats haven't been looking so good :(

My main rig I Fold with my GTX 260 and an SMP client wide open. It can only Fold about 10 hours a day or so. When it runs I pull about 10,000 PPD. I have been getting bad work units lately and have had a few crashes. I looked at the work unit data in F@H forums and tons of people have the same issues with the same work units.

My daughter's computer is a Dell XPS 400 with a Pentium 840 CPU W/2 processing cores @ 3.2 GHz. It Folds a normal CPU client an pulls about 2,000 PPD. When I get the Corsair 450w and put the 9600GSO in there...I want all my clients combined to pull over 15,000 PPD.

Now I just have to give my wife and daughter a class and show them how to maintain it while I am gone.

I want to get some sort of Folding marathon going to raise awareness of the cause and the team. It would only be about a week or so long. I have a real good idea of how I want to set it up. There are some other forums that do it also.

I sent ian and apj101 a PM to get their thoughts on it.

I got some freebies that I will raffle off for all that complete at least one work unit.

I'll keep everybody updated as I get the details worked out:D

I ran 11 (old) computers and xboxs (tried gamecubes, they had some issues) with this for a few months a little over a year ago. Got over 250 wu and almost 40k points... Then the electric bill got too high ;) ... but still, recycling old computers for this purpose looked really good on a college application for volunteer work. I'm still in the top 10% of contributors (not really hard, but again, looks good on a volunteer application). Good luck, and happy folding.

I have 2 weeks vacation coming up starting Friday...I am looking to pull about 9,000 points per day!

I remember a time when the team daily average was just under 30,000. There were many more people that ran clients.

:good:

Goodness - 30,000? I guess people lost interest :(

I'm only running two clients at the moment, I would run my old Pentium 4 unit, but I'd have to talk to my dad, since I'm not the one paying for my bill, and he does get a little ticked off for me leaving my computer on a night :eek:

Wow, I'm surprised to see myself on the top twenty chart. I don't have F&H on my own personal computer, but I do still have it on my parents computer back at home (I forgot to take it off when I moved.) It's running at 40%. Every now and then when I remember to do so I turn my PS3 on to fold for awhile. I think I'm going to go do that now. It'd be amazing to finally have all this work find some sort of cure toward cancer or something.
