yeah i know. i now have 6 GPUs going. i actually have 7 but my 9800 gt isn't working right. i still haven't started back with the cpu units. i'm not sure if i will since i won't get the points i was getting before

i've been out of the loop for awhile now, and it seems a lot of things have changed. care to fill me on it? before i was running bigadv units in a linux VM inside windows.

No more LINUX bigadv because there is a bug. But runs fine on Mac OS X, and Windows now too I think.

ok. but can i still run bigadv on my i7 with only 4 real cores, 8 logical cores?

SciFrog · Jul 30, 2010, 11:57 AM

Yes

Vijay would like us to test our rigs for accuracy. I will probably test mine just so I know that I'm sending them good data.

alright! way to go team!

but we still need to push!

SciFrog · Aug 31, 2010, 07:40 PM

Congrats to all, we now have a great base to lift off from!

lordonuthin · Sep 1, 2010, 08:22 PM

Well, BitGamer has passed us

it was inevitable though as we couldn't make the 4.5 million points per week that they are doing. So that puts us in 59th place for a while.

It will take us about 40 days to pass Portugal@folding to put us back in 58th place for a while. In 3 to 4 months we will be overtaken again this time by Russia then by p2p-community and awachs shortly after that which will put us at 61st place around the end of the year

We are doing better than we were though

Oh, I wasn't looking at the numbers, but yes WE will overtake those 2 and awachs will overtake us. So we will end up at like 57th place maybe... at the end of the year

yeah something like that if we keep the current pace, which will be hard to do.
