We only need to come up with another 20,000 points a day to start to overtake team Mac OS X. That isn't much! Come on, guys! TELL EVERYONE! WE HAVE TO TAKE OUR SPOT BACK FROM THEM :bawling:

What's that.... 40 more average computers? I just added ONE today ;) Maybe I'll try to get another up tomorrow, but as I mentioned in a previous post money is shortshortshort right now.

Shorter than the short man himself.... :ukflag:


Please don't ban me... :respect:

Well if I can get this bloody AsRock board to boot I'll be able to add an XP3200, unfortunately at the present time all I get is a black screen. However I will be able to add a P3 833 this weekend & then of course SM12 will be coming my way soon so she'll be cranking wu's in no time.

I've been giving serious consideration to installing F@H on our new dual Xeon server.

I'm picking up a 2500+ from a friend this weekend. It will fold on a piece of cardboard if it has to :)

Next month I'll get my AGOIA back, so that will almost double my current output of one processor :D

I've got four rigs I refer to as my "out-of-towners", meaning that they are family member's computers located far away from me. Three of them have been underperforming for the last month. (Thanks, dad, for being the lone exception. :) )

I was able to get my daughter on the phone last night and expect her computer to return to full production soon. I'm calling my niece and sister tonight. My niece is sharp as a tack, so I'm sure I can get her straightened out. Hopefully, my fourteen y.o. nephew will be available to help with my sister's rig. Neither she nor her multiple-PhD husband should be allowed anywhere near a computer... :rolleyes:

All told, it should be a decent pickup for the team.

Though not a new addition, my DFI board came back and it's folding again. :rolleyes:

Sally got a new addition, a Celeron-M 1.3, MicroATX setup. :)

added a sempron 3000+ to the home farm today - it'll be folding as MasterBuilderK (my younger son).

I believe my 5 year old will be the youngest person folding for Team 93. Perhaps the youngest person folding, period! ;D

wow, what a production jump! This Sempron 3000+ that I'm "burn in testing" for the people I built it for is producing nicely! I really think I'm gonna have to buy some of these for dedicated boxes once I get some extra cash.

I have a K6/2 500 or 550 that is currently out of commission, do you guys think it will even finish WUs before the deadline if I get it up and running?

Yeah, it'll help. Won't be a powerhouse, but it will contribute :) I have a p3/600 cranking along like a turtle - persistence pays off though.

Nah, probably not. Our old K6-2 Compaq was folding for awhile. I let it go, and go... and go. About a month and a half later, I hooked up the monitor, etc, and it was less than half way through it's first WU :Pwned:

It'll go, just not very fast. I s'pose every WU counts, but I'd rather use its parts for a keychain (which I did :p)

With today's WUs, older CPUs have a harder time. Back when I was folding WUs that were worth less than 1/10 as much as today's WUs, I had some Celeron 400's folding, and their contribution was noticeable.

Back in the day, I also walked to school in the snow, uphill both ways, fighting off wolves, etc. :D
