Our team is doing horrible right now. What the hell happened to everyone? Jet, are you still folding? On the team list, it appears that most of the original members are no longer folding, and only a handful are making a real contribution.

I'd really like our team to get close to the Top 300 by the end of next year. Those of you with PS3's can make an incredible contribution. Let's get this team back on track! :D

ill start folding when they either make a gpu client compatible with nvidia or when i get a new cpu. whichever comes first.

Right on, Kuzba. In the meantime, I can try and help you get that 5.03 client runnin', if you're interested.

my cpu hates it. it gets really really hot for some reason. like up to 60 degrees if im doing something else at the same time.

and i really dont like letting my cpu run that high.

worth? anything that can run the program will be great for CF.

so if the client is compatible with your gfx card or system then yes.

would it be worth folding using a ati x1400 on the imb lenovo t60

Yes, I think so. If you haven't already, read through the ATi FAQ's at the Stanford website. I've never ran a GPU client, so if you set it up, post your progress in this thread. I'm curious to see how it goes. :D

That's right. Anyone else with a compatible ATi card should consider running the client as well. Every processor makes a difference. ;)

alright well then in that case i guess ill try out that link for folding using the gpu, i wonder if my lappy will get much hotter haha oh well only one way to find out right?

if i end up folding using the gpu and i want to then play a game would it act the same way that it does with the cpu?

...im lost...

I usually shut down the client when running games and restart the client when I'm finished. You'll see a huge drop in (gaming) performance if you attempt to run any client while gaming. Browsing the internet, using Office apps, basically anything that's not CPU intensive can run while the client is active.

Yeah, we slipped a few spots. :( If we had ONE MORE PS3 owner (*cough* INTELCRAZY *cough* hpi *cough*) folding when idle, we'd easily break 400 and hold our position.

It's awesome that you've continued to fold despite your PC problems. That's dedication. Nice job, Kuzba. ;) :D

ive given up folding on the old 733 mhz system. because it has never finished a WU and probably never well. reason being, its not actually mine and my mums boyfriend doesnt like it being on much. and it takes like 15 straight days to finish a WU anyway...

as soon as i get a job im gonna fold on

45nm?/3.4ghz/something else i can put together.
