not sure about the mac native client, but the windows one uses my ATi without any setup.

Meldar · Oct 8, 2010, 11:35 PM

Yes, according to the BOINC wiki, ATi doesn't require any additional setup...thinking I might invest in one of those...

Hey my peeps!
I've got my 8 core Mac Pro w/ 6 gigs of RAM crunching for the cause.

mmomega · 01:56 AM

we moved up 12 spots to 181...ahead of microsoft now, ha. time to shoot for 150 then top 100 , go team macrumors

also, anyone here using a late 09-2010 imac with the radeon cards. doesn't seem like mine are being used but the wiki shows that they should be supported.

Meldar · Oct 10, 2010, 12:50 PM

Hm, nope...trying to remember when compute 1.3 came out, though I doubt I could crunch MW@H on my dad's '06 white iMac. Although it IS on 24/7...

In other news, my contributions to PrimeGrid have now largely exceeded my MW@H ones...still trying to get a GPU for my home machine so I can follow the white rabbit.

All but totaled my Belkin cooling pad, too.

(why am I proud of that?)

Update. We are now #177!

Meldar · Oct 13, 2010, 09:52 AM

ooh ooh let's take on Reddit. :P

Once I get home (Friday) I'll see about getting 3 or 4 of my computers on the grid as well. Most likely I can get my dad's iMac crunching, as he never turns it off and also happens to love science. And he admits I know more about computers than he does.

On a different note, I've made the bold decision to build my own computer around hardcore gaming and super-efficient grid computing. If you're logged into Facebook, click here to see a list of parts I wanna put in it...if you're interested.

Glad to see the MW@H MacRumors team is taking off! We have 14 members now, 3 of whom haven't yet done anything (but that's ok). I've taken it upon myself to create MacRumors teams in other projects like eOn, PrimeGrid, Collatz, and Pirates@Home - there is already one for Einstein - so if you do any of those projects, why not join MacRumors there as well?

mmomega · Oct 14, 2010, 11:56 AM

It's not letting me join the team. There is no "Join this team" link.

Has this been disabled?

Just noticed this thread. I joined! And the team *is* ranked, at #249. Still one spot ahead of Microsoft

However, my MBP has an unsupported 9400M GPU, and I run BOINC with very conservative settings to keep heat and fan noise down. Also my gaming PC (GTX 560) is running something else right now, but I'll see what I can do.
