Folding@Home: Team rank and member drive

I started back on it again last week, and just made it back into the top 1k for the MR team. However, I don't like running my systems 24/7, so I expect my contribution will slow down. Not sure what kind of performance I am getting.
I am running a C2D mini that I use a home server 24/7, and getting good SMP performance out of it, and a C2D MBP during most of the week since I got an EEE that I take with me to work instead every day.
I requested to get my work machines online, but that has not gotten anywhere so far.

I have a plan
everyone go out and buy a new folding rig and maybe we could keep bitGAMER at bay for a while longer, as it is we have about 30 more days at #58 position
which we have held for most of this year. Oh well, maybe not The good news is in about 84 days we should overtake Portugal@Folding which will put us back in the 58th spot

are you just running the client in system preferences? or are you running the terminal client?
Are you able to give the client any parameters? Like do you type in -smp or -verbosity 9?
Do you have a passkey?
Do you meet the bonus requirements? 30 hours is a little slow but not that much.
You need a passkey:

then you need to fold 10 SMP units with 80% return rate.
Very easy to do.

I would advise you to use the terminal client. It's really not hard. Then you can give parameters like -advmethods so you'll get a bonus with your passkey
Sounds good. My only question about the passkey is whether I can use it on my ps3 as well. I want to combine the ps3 and macbook under the same point total.
I'll uninstall inCrease after it finishes the 3 day WU I have now. Apparently it's worth 1500 points or so. Project 6041.
Thanks for the insight from you two. I really appreciate it!

you can have your username on the ps3 and macbook. i'm not sure about the passkey - i haven't tried putting in my passkey on my ps3.
i'm now curious as to what computers are able to get a bonus with the new smp units? i've got an old white macbook that might be worth a try - 2.16 ghz C2D. its not that fast, but maybe i can get something out of it

yeah i agree. thanks to those that are folding! we gotta keep it up! and for those that used to fold, and aren't anymore, please start up again if you can!
and for those that getting new mac pros, why not give folding a go? it's a very good cause!
Not doing anything wrong you just dont have the high power (read expensive) hardware that some have but your contribution is still appreciated.
