I'd guess you completed a2 units, I'm sure I read you need to complete 10 a3 units before the bonus kicks in, but I could be wrong. In any case, should only be 3 days before the bonus kicks in! :)

You must have been right. Once past the 10 unit mark, I started getting bonus points.

Thanks Buzz! :good:

hopefully should be seeing me back in the game. Got a decent computer for $400 off of craigslist, should be delivering somewhere in the 10-25k ppd range.

Ok buzz so who do we have to get together to have another Folding Marathon for Dec? I have a couple worthy things to give away! WE really need another marathon! Our team isnt doing so good lately. Only a couple people folding 24/7 including me.

I'm on holiday at the moment, and then moving next week. I'll check what I've got and get something started in a couple of weeks :)

Been out of it for too long now. Hopefully will be getting more ppd than I was on my e6750 and 8600GT :D

oh, and I am right in thinking a GTX260 will be making more ppd than a 5770 will aren't I?

Finally, can I have my 5770 there not folding whilst in use + a GTX 260 always folding, in the same system? I know I can have them running together, but don't know if they will work in F@H together.

=EDIT=

I'm editing in the middle of my post to ask if you can even use the 5000 series cards. On the F@H FAQ page, it only lists support for very old drivers (7.x to be precise). Which, if any, versions of CCC are supported?

And last but not least, there was a program which would make more sense of F@H, by showing the devices on your computer folding, the ppd they are getting, the percentage through the current WU they are, expected time left etc. Can someone post me a link to it please if I'm not imagining such a thing... :p

Meh. Nvidia cards are way better than ATi/AMD at Folding. I downloaded an SMP client for my netbook but my ppd was ridiculously low, and I know they say every little helps but my netbook was dying

still haven't been able to take out Buzz from the top PPD spot even with my i7, GTS250 and 8800GTS 320! ;)

Is there any interest in another marathon yet?

I would be more than happy to run it like last time. I also have some goodies for prizes also;)

If anybody is interested in this please post and spread the word throughout the forum.

Here is an older marathon so you can see what it is.

Could make it an anual thing :D

Only downside to this one though is that my system is out of business for the next few weeks, so I wouldn't be able to take part :( I will have a dig around though, see if I have any spares that I don't need laying around anywhere again to give away. I'd be happy to help with the set up or anything else of it, quite enjoyed it last time

We could wait till around the holidays? Most people will not be working and could turn on the folding machines during the day...not sure what time would be best actually.

I think we should get something going!

The problem is...I have nothing to Fold with anymore:eek:

I thought you had a 9600GT system?

and I think that would probably be best.

If anything, I think January/Feb would be best, people will have new, better hardware from christmas (greater ppd ;)), life will have settled down from Christmas and any issues with said new hardware should have been sorted out

Good thinking...sounds like a plan!

Just a heads up to those using the SMP client--remember to get a passkey and use it for every client--otherwise you only get the base points, not the bonus (which is often much larger than the base points!). Keep it up!

(Buzz--did a lightning strike take out your computer? :p. Thanks for keeping the team going, and hopefully you can get back up and running soon!)
