We only need about 170000 units to get in the top 200 teams.
Can we do it before 2003? Can you say G5!

I might try to get my schools it manager to let me put it on all 268 PCs there, and at work I will get my boss to put it on any machines I can get my hands on (Mostly Macs over 800mhz)

What about a Macrumors Folding@home team? By joining that distributed computing project it's:
1) easier to get in the top 50
2) you really help science with this... expected results are cures for BSE and other deseases
Well, I've recently joined the MacAddict folding@home team, and I'm not going to switch back to seti anymore. I've got 4 macs and 15 pcs crunching on folding now 😛
Oh yeah, the MacAddict folding team has created a very nice utility, called Folding Control, to automate the entire installation: it installs the cli version and adds it to the CRONTAB, so it starts automatically and it runs even if you're not logged on.
Well, enough rant for now...

Indeed, and I think we can get to a higher place in the top teams with folding than with seti, because with seti we would have to catch up on teams which have been crunching data for years...
wheeeeee!!
Hey hey, now i joined too contributing with an amazing 0 units!!! Lets keep up the good work!!

Average seti work unit processing time 16hrs 55 mins
4806 macrumors members
if each member processes 1 WU each day
=4,806 units/day
=33,642 units/week
=1,754,190 units/year
hmmm.....

We're already talking about going on to something else?
I found my old account with a whopping 8 units. I joined and I'll have one machine working on it pretty much full time. Not very fast though, its a 450 MHz G4. But as of my joining we now have 38 members.

It's always one more thing with you all.... 🙂

macrumors G3
it's amazing that someone has devoted over 7 years processing time to this on their own. and that's only the top of the macrumors group. i haven't even looked at the top overall, but i can't fathom how high it must be.

Some people want to hunt for ET and some want to search for cures for diseases so why not have two teams, they are not mutally exclusive.
Folding@home is a good project but my only concern is what happens to the research? Will this make treatments/drugs cheaper for those that need them or will we just be doing the research for the drug companies and be getting charged the same?
The folding@home site is not clear on this issue. Anyone know?

We could make a automatic system that automaticly distributed data units and then each mac of macrumors.com would come up with a different date for the g5 release!
