nicely done mow

well im only getting like 511p/WU .

odd thing is .

my gpu is getting 2943ppd
and my CPU @ 3.6 Ghz is getting 303ppd ?

Does that sound right ?

Yes. Unless you set your folding up to use the smp

ok .... what is smp ?

its the high performance client

smp is a client that uses all the cores on your pc to increase the productivity of your system exponentially. with a uniproccesor client you might get 200~300PPD with SMP you can get ~2000PPD with a low clocked dual core or you could get ~3500PPD with a low clocked quad core

ok so i down the wrong cpu cleint ?

but it soesnt sound like a good idea to run the smp cleint with the gpu cleint on a dual.

Its fine. Read back a few pages, Vampyre_2099, has written how to do it

From what I've read, guys using Vista have had better luck getting both SMP and GPU to run together, Vista seems to use less CPU for the GPU client, so you should be fine

everyone gather round, its time for an update

>So it looks like Furion may take my crown (eventually, you take your time ) as I've temporarily stopped folding due to family staying with us... so for the next 3 days I will only be folding on my girlfriends pc which means my PPD drops from ~10k PPD to ~1500PPD. But at least I'll have something to chase.

> I'm glad to see that we're still still whittling our way up/down the grid getting closer to 800th spot. Thanks to everyone for their support in that.

> Fluffmonger(please introduce yourselves) and Mow have joined the team and both are doing very well so far.

> There are quite a few milestones coming up that should hopefully bring excitement and competitiveness into the team

Other than that please just keep folding and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask, we're here and willing to help

So guys

As some of you may have seen, I have personal stats in my sig.... No, we're not in the top 800 yet, but for some reason we have personal sig stats... I'm not complaining though.

To get them add this to your sig Where *Username* is your username that you fold with.

Other than that cool discovery, nothing much has changed I'm afraid

Awesome!

I have given up on trying to get into the top 10 x.x

With my current folding habits, I'll forever be 12th...

yeah, as much as I try to stay 1st, it seems I'll become 2nd eventually. Although I have this habit of continuously checking the folding stats and managing to pull back the lead just before I lose it I also suffer from competitiveness which I lack in all other areas so pretty much I can't stop folding as much as I need to for a short while... like reinstalling an OS

Phew...

I have been away for a long time....

Vamp...look at our score....you missed it the first time and now im gently reminding you.

*cough cough*

yeah, saw a while ago that we were going to be over 2mil. yes, I did forget to mention it yesterday but hey, oh well

Congratulations to Vamp for reaching the 1000 WU milestone.

oh hey, thanks, didn't notice.

I think sometime this weekend Furion will be taking my crown as I only get time to play on my pc over the weekend... which means no folding gets done

Have you all noticed the speed at which ron and halo are folding at? halo is a friend of whom i asked to join our team. he is doing amazingly well..And so is ron...(not that i know him personally. but ronny is folding like a titan. hehe)

Lets keep the folding going. soon we will break into the top 1000. out of over 150k teams? thats pretty good going in my book.

Why are people stopping folding, we have just broken into the top 1000. I use the name DarkLight748, I have just accelerated my PPD. 1 x ATI GPU, 2 x Nvidia GPU and 1 SMP, I might get round to getting my PS3 (which I only use as a blu-ray player) folding.

I haven't stopped, although I see that Furion has

PCF team will be starting soon... as soon as I setup all the PCs. Thats 5 PCs in total including a AMD Phenom II 955 and a Core i7 965 EE

My work PC is now folding. Intel Core 2 Extreme 9770 @ 3.2GHz and a ATI HD4870

When I get home I will setup my home PC, I'll be getting ADSL soon so I will be able to leave it connected and working the whole day.

nice KB, just make sure to use your name... or start a user called PCF_Team and fold under that

Okay, so far I have two of the machines folding.

My PC and the AMD test rig. Both are running the x86 and GPU versions of the game. The AMD test rig is using a HD4870X2 so that should pump out the WUs
