shwaip and I have been battling it out toe-to-toe for the last week or so. Every time I think I'm about to pass him, he turns in gobs more WU's.

Current Score:

61 shwaip 12475.2
62 scthoburn (Prof) 12457.5

(1:55am EDT June 29, 2003)

Does anyone else here have a story to tell about trying to pass someone who didn't want to be overtaken?

Good job, shwaip!:beer:

    It is these little races that make it more interesting. The only guys that I was ever in a battle with have gone on to blow my doors off. Last winter it was BuddyJ and I for weeks. A year ago it was Film.
    But maybe if I get this XP1700 running in one of these old mobos I'll be back in the game.

    It was me a LSEVALD for a while, but then all of the sudden he got this burst of inspirado and just blew me out of the water... :(

    AAAGH! AND NOW I JUST NOTICED THAT I'M BACK TO 12TH PLACE! thanks to seversphere.

    I have a feeling that sev and I are going to be in this neck-and-neck for a while. :)

    Hehe prime, sev found the SSE boost not too long ago and his mahcines are kicking butt now.

    I was battling Ed for awhile then he went out of town for awhile and it was never the same.

    Man I have been neck and neck with so many people. Last one was Omega, not sure what happened to him tho. His production dropped several hundred.

    This last week Tellerve and I were going neck-n-neck for a couple days (and it was right as we both approached the top 1000 folders mark too) I hadn't been passed by anyone in quite some time so that definitly took me by surprise... i don't know what has happened in the last couple of days though... i guess his production dropped cause i am pulling away from him now... it was nice while it lasted... WFT Tellerve!

    :D Lately, I've been tweaking my system, and losing a few WU's here and there, just so it'll be interesting ;)

    btw, what do you have folding, pro?

    I've got:

    24/7
    1700+@ 2.07
    1700p4 (mobile)
    800 duron

    most of the day, no night:

    2.4 ghz p4 ( mom's pc, shudder, a dell)

    long enough to turn in wu's on time:

    1500+ (dad's)

    and I have a couple friends folding for me on their pc's, a 1800p4 and a 933 p3. Dunno how often they turn in a WU tho ;)


    oh, and i almost forgot...... YOU GOING DOWN FOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    IC4 is fighting with Mortin. I flip-flopped a few times with Thrax although he seems to have pulled ahead for the time being.

    oh, and i almost forgot...... YOU GOING DOWN FOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My folding crew:

    T-Bird 1200@1333 (Mine)
    T-Bird 1200@1333 (Mine - another one)
    K6-3/450 (Mine)
    XP1700+ (Girlfriend)
    XP2100+ (Daughter)
    XP2500+ (Dad)

    Soon:

    XP2000+ (Niece)
    Athlon 850 (Mine - need to build)
    K6-2/550 (Mine - need to build)

    I also had a P133 and a P166. They would finish a WU every couple of weeks. Since the larger WU's came out they aren't doing diddly and will be retired when I get the other comps built.

    My best week was when I had 8 computers turn in WU's, but that needs an asterisk because one computer had been wiped/reloaded that week and was counted twice.

    AND:

    Going down am I? Foo am I? Watch out Suckah, that shadow you see is me coming up behind you. Give me a wave when I go by.:D

    I'm looking at a computer that's 496/500 of the way through a biggie.

    And I'll have two new comps folding within a week.

    This one might go 15 rounds - I don't see a knockout punch on the horizon.

    Congrats, shwaip - this one's on me:beer:

    I was running the graphics version and it started losing WUs. I sold one machine and then switched my two remaining computers to the console version (and just upgraded those 3.25 beta).

    I'm stress testing a third machine I built for a friend of mine so I have three comps folding. I'm now back to my regular ~160pts/day. :)
