We did good last month. It would be nice if we could get around 1,000,000 a month for the team.

I don't like the direction of that graph. :mad: I'm going to see about getting my girlfriends computer folding. 6000+ and a 9600GT would be a nice folding machine.

I hear ya...I am thinking about getting an 8800GTS for my daughter's computer and start that folding. Maybe I can find a 9800GTX used for a decent price. I have a basic CPU client Folding on it, she starts Folding every time she fires it up. The issue is...only about 250 PPD with her processor. I have slipped because I am working a lot. I taught my wife how to fire up the clients on my computer...does not always happen everyday:(


1,000,000 a month would be great for our team to sustain. Last month was a good month. We were averaging around 30,000 to 35,000 PPD. That is right around 1 million.

I might talk to my wife and get an better PSU and another GTX 260 to Fold while I am in Afghanistan.

I ran SMP client on my Quad for about a month (July). It was pulling about 3,000 PPD but I ran into stability issues:( It makes you have a password for your Windows profile...I kept getting password errors and lockups:mad:
 
yay, now that my 920 is on my way, all i need is some ram to get folding again(then a bigger psu to crush mep with both of my gtx 285's :D)

haha. I hope you do and can't wait for your new rig. I know you've been planning this for awhile. :)
 
2 x GTX 285 and the 920 running SMP will pull 20,000 - 25,000 PPD :eek:

WE NEED YOU!

noob...get your rig together! we could jump dozens of spots in a few weeks;)
 
I'm waiting to see what Nvidia's next cards will offer in terms of folding power. Right now, that's the only reason I'm considering an Nvidia card. I fold more than I game, so that will be deciding factor. Anyone know how well the 5870/5850 cards do in folding?

The next gen Nvidia cards will be sick Folding cards:D

512 cores with the GT300! That thing alone might pull 20,000+:cool:

920 won't fold i'm afraid, that will crunch(same thing basically, just the work can't be performed on the gpu) and its only going to be one gtx 285 for a while since i still need ram, and a bigger psu for the gtx 285's to run in sli

what does that mean, is there a difference between folding and crunching.
 
Production the last few days. Seriously inconsistent.

Team Information page

We really need to start pestering people on here to start folding on a regular basis. They aren't gaming all the time, or even most of the time. Put the power to good use!

Amen to that:D

The problem is for me...my wife Folds while I am not at home. Sometimes she forgets to start everything in the morning. She is usually pretty good but she slips. A few days with 0 points kills my 24 average PPD. :o

I can only run my computer about 12 hours a day:mad:

But...the 9600GSo is in the mail from voyagerfan99...that's going to be one more card Folding.

I can not get SPM client working on my rig. I did for a while but it would run great for about 2-4 days averaging 4,000 PPD. Then it would crash and give me all kinds of errors. Right now I can only run the normal CPU client at about 400 PPD. I have a great Quad Core sitting here running at like 30% all day:mad:
 
I'm usually folding 13-14 hours a day. I've decided to go with the next nvidia cards over ATI just for folding. And I'm going to get my girlfriend a GTX 260 to replace her 9600 GT, and get her folding with me. :D

Might even have enough left over to run a 3rd system with a 9600 GT.
 
Today will be a good day for me...I did not have to work and started everything about 0600 hrs. Been pulling over 10,000 PPD all day so far. I am hoping to pull around 7,000 points today:D

When the 9600GSO goes into my daughter's Dell...I am looking at 12,500 to 13,000 PPD:cool:
