What the Frack just happened? Look at our team rank.

[Scott]

http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_list.php?s=&t=41608

Did we all of a sudden kick some major booty or is the database messed up. A month or so ago we where like 400 something.

[Sadasius]

HEHEHE, My girlfriends PS3 is sure helping. Damn thing is making WU's left right and center and not small one's either like the Radeon cards do.

[slugbug]

My little Opteron 165 is still pumping out the WUs.

[PP Mguire]

I have 7 cores going right now to try and rack up my scores. To bad im getting little crappy WUs instead of long good ones. More points FTW!

[westy87]

Ick, down to 27th!

Cant wait to get my mobo replacement and get back into it

[bobletman]

Well it looks like im gonna have to start pumping out some mass wu

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Well, I believe I have 3 cores going...not much but its something. Nice work though, we are moving along :)

[Nocutius]

I had the feeling we are pretty much on the same spot for ages. Every time i check we somewhere close to 250th place. Maybe i'm mistaken but i'd swear we've been holding the same position for the last 3-4 months at least.

[Absolut352]

I wont stop til i pass Das Capn. That may be quite some time.

[SonicWRX]

I am under the same impression... Maybe the database got messed up when you looked at it Scott and we are actually 250ish and not 400ish. Just throwing it out there.

I know my rig is down right now so i am not helping out right now sorry.

:keepfolding:

[asterasy]

If only I could do some folding on my 360.

[Kougar]

We've been near 250 for awhile yes, but 248 is the lowest I recall seeing us reach as of late. Its really interesting, every week we get passed by ~3 teams, but then pass 3 or 4 teams ourselves, so we are still slowly climbing up there. :grin:

:keepfolding:

[zachig]

Yeah, the last time I checked we were at the 252th place, and I think it was MORE than a month ago, Scott. :roll:

But, it's still VERY IMPRESSIVE, as we've never reached that high (248th). :grin:

:keepfolding: guys and hopefully we'll see ourselves soon aobve 200th...;-)

[sushrukh]

I've also not stopped folding since i've first learnt about folding.I'm now at 38th in the team.3 cheers 4 BJ3D. :)

[PP Mguire]

Im just happy that within a month im in the top 50 of our team.

[Nocutius]

Well getting to top 50 is quite easy considering that almost nobody below that place is an active folder. It took me more than half a year to get to top 15, with a small possibility of being able to climb among the top 10 and actually staying there.

[Xantor]

Hopefully my folding will contribute to the team to get a better overall ranking. :)
I'm not folding on a quad-core or anything, but a E4300 should help a bit.

[sushrukh]

Every bit of our work can help fighting aginst lethal diseases like cancer.

[tomato]

Go Bjorn3D Go! :)

[bobletman]

I say we all have a week of massive folding.

[Sadasius]

I say we all have a week of massive folding.

I am just keeping on going despite the contests. I am just thinking of making a rack with several PS3's going. May do this if they keep dropping in price. I think its a great study and I am more then happy to contribute to this cause. We are the only species to save us from ourselves...lol

[srpeters18]

Hehe, I just started folding 4 days ago. I haven't turned off the PS3 yet, have 2-3 cores going all the time on my newest build, and 1 on my laptop. If I ever get my 7900GT working on the kids computer, I'll be running 1 more for a total of six. :grin:

[srpeters18]

Oh yeah, I've gone up 30 places in 4 days. Again, not that hard since not very many people are working on it, but I'm happy!

[zachig]

WOOHOO!!! I've just completed 9 WUs already, so...ONE MORE TO GO!!! :grin:

Don't worry, I will :keepfolding: even after I'll complete my 10 WUs requirement! ;-)

[bobletman]

Woot we just went up to 247. Im gonna keep folding all day and all night till we are first :)

[PP Mguire]

Whoot im really shooting up the list! 46 and i started at the start of December. Id say thats good no?

[Sadasius]

Our team is now at 245!!! That's awesome considering how much damn competition we have. It's the best score I have seen for this team yet. You guys are really pulling through. Keep that up! :keepfolding:

[werty316]

Sure if you want a high power bill.

Folding is kinda ironic in a way that its for a good cause yet it isn't energy efficient. Save ourselves and screw the planet kinda.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

you shut yer filthy mouth lol

[raidersforever01]

My computer is on downloading something so might as well fold in the process.

[Sadasius]

Irony comes in so many ways werty316. Almost everything we do we can find that little hidden irony and in other things have it so blatantly obvious. But no worries, I am running off of nuclear...lol Last I heard that was more green friendly!

[werty316]

Speaking of folding my workplace just got two Mac Pro (http://www.apple.com/macpro/) rigs ;)

[srpeters18]

Well, I'm at 15 WU's in 4 days and still going strong. I do get tired of waking up in the morning to discover that my computer locked up in the middle of the night though, when it should've been folding. Grrr. Mouse won't move or anything.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

sounds like your OC might not be 100% stable?

[srpeters18]

That's what I've been thinking too. I just keep thinking this memory is holding me back. Can't wait to get some new stuff when tax returns come.

[PP Mguire]

Ill be getting an MP 1800+, another P3, and fixing my G2 with dual 1.4ghz P3s in it. Ima create a folding farm lol. I also told my friend to go around putting it on every machine in the school and hide the taskbar icon. Thikn of how many 3ghz P4s with HT that is :D

[Sadasius]

Geez sounds like I may have to get that PS3 rack together soon to keep my placing...;-). Now it's getting competitive...:lol:

[werty316]

I also told my friend to go around putting it on every machine in the school and hide the taskbar icon.
That wouldn't be needed if you ran them as a service.

[bobletman]

Ive been running my Q6600 at 3.02ghz on stock volts for a couple of month and its stable. I have also been leaving the folding on all day for the past 5 days so im jumping through the rankings. :keepfolding:

[asterasy]

I also told my friend to go around putting it on every machine in the school and hide the taskbar icon. Thikn of how many 3ghz P4s with HT that is :D
You're a genius, my school's computers all run on 2.8 Pentium Ds, think of how much folding would get done with 50 (two rooms) of them running two consoles, not to mention how much would get done if the computers in all 5 rooms were folding.

[werty316]

Anyone who wants to make their school a huge folding farm should give one of these Folding@Home Diskless Programs (http://reilly.homeip.net/folding/) a try.

[PP Mguire]

Yea im trying to get all my friends to fold for me but its not working well. All well. But i know by at least next weekend ill have the whole school almost folding for me. Wicked sick hehe.

That wouldn't be needed if you ran them as a service.How hard is it to do? My friend is lazy and i really hope he will do all of the machines he can.

[werty316]

This should help: http://fahwiki.net/index.php/How_do_I_run_the_console_as_a_Service%3F

[PP Mguire]

Thanx alot. So he dosent have to install anything but just make it a service. Awesome. The school wont even know. Cept their rooms are gonna be hella hot from all those crunching P4s muahaha.

[werty316]

Yep, the console will be hidden and the only way you know whether or not its running is in the task manager and it'll startup everytime the computer reboots so it'll fold forever or until the HD is wipe.

[PP Mguire]

alright sweet thanx. This is awesome.

[asterasy]

But to run it as a service you have to have the files on the computer, correct? Hmm...

[werty316]

But to run it as a service you have to have the files on the computer, correct? Hmm...
Yes the files have to be in a local directory on the computer that will be setup to fold.

[asterasy]

You are n? I'm going to need to find a way of getting access to the C drives :p.

[Nocutius]

Ok now we're really starting to rise fast. It will only take us weeks to overcome all 5 teams ahead of us and months for others to overcome us. 245th place, nice.

[srpeters18]

244 now, woohoo!

[Nocutius]

Srpeters18 you have something to do with that as well, you and some other big shots in our team. Our avg 24h point production rose for almost 5000 points in the last month. Previously we've been holding roughly the same place for ages, now we're kicking ass :).

[srpeters18]

Glad to help, like I said earlier, I hadn't tried folding till I joined here, I really enjoy this site and the people on it, so I figured I'd help out.

[werty316]

Just imagine if everyone on the team had a PS3. That would be some serious folding power.

[srpeters18]

I know, I love that thing. I just leave it on, and away it goes. Usually does like 3 a day.

[Xcess]

Just added another PS3 in my dorm to the team, It will be folding 24/7.

But I cant get my console version to connect to it kees saying Work unit has invalid address and it sayes failed to get work, and no other work to do

[Xcess]

Ok I have all 4 cores running right now, along with a PS3 in the living room.

:)

[bobletman]

Kool you will be near the top in no time.

[Sadasius]

Yeah you really have to love the PS3. I did not even think about folding when I got it for my ol lady. She updated it when we hooked it up to the internet and she was flipping through all the features and she came upon the folding part. So she put in my username and our team number and away it went. I like looking at the screen folding screen with the protein doing its thing. The PS3 has an amazing 8 core unit that can really fly. I believe one is turned off and just 7 of them run. I would like to figure out how to hook these bad boy's together and have them operate as a single unit. There must be a way. I read about a guy awhile back who used a bunch of PS2's and had them operate like a super computer. Imagine a PS3 supper computer? Damn thing would fly. As I see it it would be much cheaper then to have a bunch of Intel computers hooked together with $1500 CPU's.

[Nocutius]

I envy you your ps3s guys, you put my PC to shame. Too bad ps3 costs so much, maybe in a year or so i can get a used one.

[Kougar]

Hmm, I see I'm going to have some competition... :)

[srpeters18]

Well, so far I haven't been able to match your 24 hour average. Mine seems to hold fairly steady at about 2300-ish. I would set up the other two computers, but its really not worth it. Old PD and an even older Athlon. Besides, I'm moving in a month and don't have anywhere to set them up right now. But soon my friend, soon... :grin:

[Xcess]

Im up to 70th place. :)

[srpeters18]

Made it over a hundered WU's yesterday. In 16 days.

[srpeters18]

Hey guys, we're up to 242 now.

[zachig]

Hey guys, we're up to 242 now.
WOOHOO!!! HOORAY!!! :ole:
:keepfolding: people!!!

[Xcess]

Now were 241

[bobletman]

yes we are just so 1337.

[PP Mguire]

ACtualy it says 243 still.

[srpeters18]

That's from the Stanford site I'm guessing. Cause EOC doesn't count the "default" team or the "PS3" team.
