Couple GT200 cards would compliment the i7 nicely. Or you could let the other CPUs crunch and turn your i7 into a nice SMP Folder. I think GPU3 for ATI cards is still some time away

I don't want to let any of my CPUs fold because of the crunching power they have. I am tempted to make the i7 a SMP folder doing the new WU's but then i would have to get another i7 for crunching
Depending on the price and how much money i have i may grab a card or 2 when they come out.

I was saying pick up a couple GT200 (like a 260 216 or a single 275) Fermi is likely to be out of our budgets

Pie Denier of Feb 2010 goes to TeXBill for consistently shutting me down in 11th place even with a card in RMA

You know I looked for a funny 'denied' picture, one idea being maybe get one of a granny in football gear set to block. Anyways, I'm sure my ISP thinks I'm insane after some of those searches (and their results ).

As NastyHabits pointed out in a different thread, don't ever work on your computer when you're tired. After losing 3rd place to Oily as a result, everything is back in place and I'm able to get online. Hopefully I can keep my spending in check as I continue to work on these computers.


Pie!

Last night saw a couple of our members cross 100,000 points and earn themselves a folding badge for the forums. Both Zenith and imperialreign can now start sporting their F@H-bling to help stylize and utilicize(?) their posts. Er, yeah congratulations guys.

And next up in about 10 hours, tonight's pie!

 

[BUCK NASTY]

Congrat's to Imperialreign and Zenith for 100K!!!!

It's always sweet to hit a milestone with a 1 followed by a bunch of zeros. Congrats guys!

 

[oily_17]

Nice going guy's, keep up the good work !!

 

[El Fiendo]

Great job guys! Yesterday saw us power up to just under 900k. Hopefully we can keep angling upwards and get our million daily production. I really enjoy these bigadv work units and what they're capable of doing for the team, and also the members that have taken up folding them. The flipside of course is that they also played a part in me dropping 2 positions to 5th place.

Polaris 573 kicks things off as he earns himself a folding badge tonight by passing the 100k mark, while PowderedSugar is halfway to a folding badge to 1 million as he crosses 500k. Lastly, TeXBill heaps on another million onto the tally and earns himself a folding badge upgrade in the process. Congrats all, very nice work.

Vacancy sign! I thought this was a jousting match and if you are still on your horse at the end of the day you get to sit down for a piece of pie.

It looks like El Fiendo wasn't satisfied with that 5th place so he grabbed 3rd. I'll have to do something about completing a -bigadv every 3 days.

LN or yet another CPU?

My pie days (all two of them) could be in danger. I had a 93% complete WU (6020) aborted. Second in two days. My succes rate might have dropped below 80% now (=no bonus). I'm not ready for -bigadv yet :shadedshu

mgclb -

Saw the pic of your rig in an earlier post. Very nice indeed. Good job!

Congrats to all who got milestones. A special shout out to TeXBill on your second million. I remember when you passed me. Still choking on the dust.

hey guys! i am selling an 8800gts KO edition g92 for $85 shipped! this beast is a true folder and overclocked it averaged me 6000ppd!

so if you are looking for a cheap folding card that is an awesome producer at a killer price hit me up and check my thread

We cracked 1 Million Points today team

 

[El Fiendo]

Holy crap did we ever break 1 million today, which is in part to the stepping up we've been doing. For instance the top 6 are all sporting a 60k+ average which is simply amazing. I notice a bunch of other names stepping up massive amounts, such as mstenholm last night who ramped it up to 40k. That's an increase of 24k in just a couple of weeks. 4x4n, whose been making waves lately on both teams, is another fine example of wild upgrades.

Due to the nature of -bigadv, many of the top 6 will be exchanging pie depending on the day. Also, we'll likely be shorter of 1 million for most days and spike above it every now and then, however there is clear evidence we're continuing to gain momentum. By the way msgclb, my bigadv work units are down to just about 2 days 4 hours, so let's see if you can beat that.

Now, to the victor: Cherry Pie! Loser gets consolation Lime.

Pie!

Tonight we're taking a break from that whole milestones scene, and sticking with solely meaty progress. ERazer looks to be lining up his prey alongside a rather cheesy danish whose doing the same thing. Meanwhile 4x4n has one thing on his mind and enters the final stretch for his triumphant destruction of his 1 millionth F@H point. Great work guys.

As for everyone else, very good job on the breaking of 1 million PPD. I'm eager to see where our altered average ends up being around. Keep it up guys!

Look how close you were to me, then check out power meters on the houses. I bet mine is spinning 3x as fast as yours Too bad we cannot hoard the -bigadv points and release them at the moment of our choosing to make it even more interesting.

P.S. Need some help getting the 1.1 image for the -bigadv WU's working. It say's I'm connected to the server and get the "Welcome to Folding @ Home" message, then I get a no work available message. Anyone got a clue? I need to use 1.1 with 6.29 going forward, correct?

Most everyone doing bigadv will have to switch to 1.1 as everything pre 6.29 should start failing to get work as they switch it over. 6.29 also included an update to fix a major issue in bigadv folding so it makes sense.

As far as I know, 1.1 is solely released as 6.29 (1.0 was the prior iteration of the SMP client) so it should be working. I've noticed quite a few people reporting issue getting bigadv work units, though having said that I turned one in yesterday and immediately got a second one without issue. I went to 1.1 early as you are pretty much guaranteed not to get the A1 unit, which is alot deadlier to your PPD. At least if there are no bigadv units, you get an A3.

Are you getting any work units at all, or just not bigadvs? I think they've been having server issues again, as I've been having trouble getting my GPUs to send and receive work, so it could be something on their end. I also seem to think they're having distribution issues do to the widespread switchover to SMP2 and increasing bigadv adoption. There are a few threads elsewhere I'm following, but no 'solutions' so far.

My next -bigadv WU will be early tomorrow. El Fiendo, when do you get your next -bigadv? Oily_17, do you have a -bigadv rig in your plans? Congrats to all!

 

[El Fiendo]

My next bigadv work unit will be completed in 16 hours time (from this post). Also, my 3 9600GSO clients and 1 GTX 260 client were all failing to send work for several days straight. I've now deleted their work folder and their queue.dat and they upload their work fine every time now. If anyone is having the issue where they aren't sending work units to Stanford, it may be worth a try for yourself. You will lose the unit you're working on and the one in queue. Looking back through the log though, very few of my work units actually got sent, so it was worth it to me to delete the ones stored.

Another night of narrowly missed milestones, but we get to see just how much 4x4n has ramped it up as he tacks another 50k up closer to 1 million. Meanwhile, r9 encroaches on his first milestone while everydayiloveyou sets to catch the cheesy danish of the team at 500k. Excellent work guys.

 

[El Fiendo]

Hehehe

We smashed ATI Technologies today, slightly ahead of schedule as I hadn't paid attention to our progress after the spike a couple of nights back. We are now 2 and 4 weeks away from our next two closest overtakes. Past that, its team HWC in 40th place who still possess a higher PPD than us. However, the past couple of days has seen a sharp dip in their output. While they still are above 1 million as of today, they may yet become a prime target.

Things get rolling tonight as r9 snags himself his first milestone of 10k, and will soon be upgrading it to 25k. Mindweaver followed it up with a smooth 500k points, signalling his halfway mark to the F@H Millionaire club. Meanwhile, a millionaire tonight stacks another million on the pile as if he were casually stacking firewood. We see hertz9753 crossing over 7 million, bringing his total in F@H to just over 9 million. Congrats to all with milestones tonight.

 

[oily_17]

Oily_17, do you have a -bigadv rig in your plans? Congrats to all!

Not yet, but if I get my hands on a water pump, that will change

Also been having trouble with one of my rigs, I think one of the pci-e slots has died and took out a GTX260 with it.

Will have to try it out in a different machine, but dont think it will work (was kind of pissed off yesterday when it happened, and stuck my boot in it )

 

[El Fiendo]

You're looking for a water pump as well, eh Oily? GPU loop, or including your CPU as well?

I'm pretty impressed at the amount of heat my i7 can put out if they're given half the chance, so it'll be getting an upgraded cooling soon. It currently forms the second half of my home heating solution and really helps keep the basement at 't-shirt temperatures' through the winter here.

And as a result of the actions of 4x4n, our F@H Millionaire club has grown by one again. Congrats guys, very nice work.
