so you're folding with the "macross" right? are you running windows?
EDIT: i see you are folding with it, and you are running windows. first question: which client did you download?
if you run -bigadv units, it will push your computer to the max. if you are willing to do that, you can meet the deadline and get the bonus points. to run the -bigadv units, you need the console client (the latest one).
my advice is to just start a new thread (since this is getting a little off topic, and it's a super long thread) about setting up your system. that way others will see what you are going thru, and others might decide to join in on the fun!
you have like 3 days usually
that a decent time there! you should check out the new GTX580's that have been released. they will absolutely blow your mind (and probably your budget, ~$500). linky
i finally hit 20 million on 5 DEC! that's about 19 days again.
congrats to whiterabbit on 33 million points!
Congrats to all you guys!
The team has stabilized, new guys, old guys still here albeit Folding a bit less. There are a handful of VERY strong teams behind us though and not a real fighting chance. It seems the Folding community has really cranked up the PPD... What we need is a few multi cores running bigadv, or fast NVidia GPUs...

im with scifrog, we are going strong but need some more. ive cut back for now due to money restrictions but id love to start up again - i may invest in a GPU for my PC, even the most low powered ones will perform better then my i7 for sure.
I moved my computer into another room and am trying to be up 24/7 with an OC on my i7 920 to 4ghz. Right now, I am running advmeathods. I will start running Bigadvs in about a week after I get my return rate back up. I had a night a few days ago where my client got messed up and would loose the WU a few mins into folding and download a new one...did this multiple times so I hope my return rate wasn't screwed up too much. We shall see if I am getting bonus points after the deadlines for those units pass. If I am still getting them, count me in for some Bigadvs!
nice techy! let us know how those points are going for you, what GPU do you have in there again?
I have a 9800 GTX +, but haven't used it for folding for a while. I am back to using OS X full time because it seems to crash less while OC'ed. Plus, I don't really see THAT big of a need to use a GPU (although it would be really, really nice
) since I started getting bonus points.

Bonus points interesting. How do you get those?
Yay for osx
I went from #888 to #77 in a week after having folded 6 -bigadv units. So far, I have been getting 3 consecutive 6900 Project units.
congrats to rwh202 on 11 million points!
yeah i agree that we need more folders! gpu, smp, bigadv, ps3, hey every little bit helps! i might be starting up cpu folding again, now that it's getting cold around here. we'll see

My i7 is just finishing up an a3 unit. Before I left for school this morning, I configured the client for Bigadv. Hopefully some more 6900 juiciness coming our way soon! I'll let you guys know tonight when I get back.
that's good to hear. i'll start off with just regular units, and see how this power bill is. if not too bad, i might overclock again and run the bigadv units. we'll see. i got a new case for one of my rigs, so i'll wait until after i set it up

good! let us know!
I've just finished a 2684 after a run of 6900s. At least 2684s are better than advmethods. 2686 now.
