Hearing about how much PPD these new CPU's output makes me feel like i have an ancient CPU :cry:
recently looked at my stats and if i calculated correctly i'm averaging about 1k Points Per Week with about 60% usage o_O

Lol, that's like the output of a quad core android
 
Motherboard and CPU should be out by tomorrow morning. The south got hit hard and most will be melted today. SOOOOOOO glad I bought a 4x4 truck!
 
Both servers are up and running as of 2am last night. They should be fully spooled up by tomorrow morning. Now if I could only keep the i7 from crashing every couple of hours....:banghead:

Go TPU!

:toast::toast:
 
8,118 points now.
 
Motherboard and CPU shipped to norton! It will make a NICE cruncher!

What we had!

I guess that's why America don't start a war with Canada cuz your solders would freeze to death lol.

It won't matter as far as the challenge is concerned if you upload tomorrow, but I'd prefer to do it sooner than later. ;)

call him a sandbagger, wait until you see the first update tomorrow. lol
 
Already crunching, not sure if I want to win a prize, sincerely, I want to help TPU!
I begun a bit earlier because I didn't know how this would work. I had folding at home for a while in the past but WCG is new to me...

My rigs:

AMD Athlon X2 4200 (2 cores - 65Watts)
Intel Core i3-330M (4 threads - 35Watts)
AMD C60 (8 Watts Dual core 1.3Ghz with IGP Radeon 6290 not recognized, too slow, too busy doing other work, giving up soon)
AMD Phenom X4 9550 (4 cores 2.2Ghz - 95Watts)
AMD FX 8320 (8 cores 3.5Ghz - 125Watts + Radeon HD5450 recognized correctly)
AMD A6-3400M (4 cores @1.4Ghz + IGP Radeon 6520, recognized as unknown radeon, not sure if its working)
Intel Pentium M 1.6Ghz (too slow, giving up soon)
Intel Pentium 4 (presscott 3.0Ghz) (too slow, power hungry, giving up soon)
