Speaking of strong folders, I was wondering where Rage3D got all their power all of a sudden, I never noticed that How??? is back.:D 75k a week alone....that's some awesome power.
I noticed that a week or 2 ago and went and checked their folding forum; it seems that How??? is just temporarily back up folding, burning in some new computers that he is deploying wherever he works at. It won't be a permanent thing, but every bit helps the project.
Yeah, DGROMS and plext have really helped jumpstart the OCAU team; all props to them. The reason that plext hasn't brought more machines online is because of bandwidth costs, from reading over in the How??? thread at rage3d.
I had the same thoughts back a while ago when Plext posted about it at overclockers.com. I mean, one Gromacs work unit is usually around 900 to 1400K to upload after completion, so 10,000 CPUs times 1.4MB means he would be using gigabytes of bandwidth a day.

Hat's off to OCAus for being such dogged, fierce competitors.

Oh and the rest of the kicks some arse as well, not just those 2. They are just head and shoulders above the rest/most folders.
