It's a little bit sad when an i7 doesn't cut it. I wouldn't dare to try bigadv on my old core2 quad but it does OK with just plain advanced. You ought to be able to throw off a decent amount of points that way.
 
I just installed this on my new iMac and I am not sure if it is running. With the old PC i could watch the pretty "molecule" spin around and new it was on. Does anyone know if the Mac version has this so I know what is happening? thanks
 
Heads up. v7.1.43 has just been released, notes and download link are here Folding Forum • View topic - FAHClient V7.1.43 released (5th Open-Beta) .

Installed on Win7 with not so much as a burp and seems to be running without problems. Serious improvements have been made to the log, it can now be limited to errors and warnings and also filtered by slot and/or unit.
I just downloaded this client and had it up and running in minutes. Let's see what happens to production/points.
 
We're on the verge of dropping out of the top 100.

I've got several clients that can't get an assignment from their server.
 
QUIET??? WOULD IT HELP IF I FORGOT HOW TO USE THE SHIFT LOCK??



OK, I didn't think it would.:p

Seriously, we need more folders before we dry up and blow away. We were something like #91 when I started here and now we're down to #100 :(
 
I'm folding with everything I have. I was hoping some members would have gotten a really good GPU for Christmas that would help the team but I guess not. i added an i5 which has raised my numbers. Good luck to all.
 
I'm down to my HP wx8200 workstation with nVidia 9800 card (the GPU and SMP clients) and my Mac Pro (SMP client). The HP AMD PC with the ATI 3750 card stopped working and I wasn't able to get it back Folding. I think that Stanford was dropping anything under an ATI 4xxx anyway, so its days were numbered. My Mac Mini is usually on, but since it's in the middle of the family room, I didn't want the fan running full tilt. When I had the Mini in the Entertainment Center, it was quieter than the Dish DVR it shared space with so it wasn't a big deal.

I saw that I can replace the two 2.66 GHz dual-core Xeon CPUs with a pair of 3.0 GHz quad-core Xeons for a little over $525, plus heatsink grease. That would give me roughly double the computing power based on the benchmarks I saw. But then I think I could Gazelle the Mac Pro and use that CPU money (plus $225 that I was thinking about spending on a Mac ATI 5770) to get a refurbed 2010 Mac Pro. That would give me better memory throughput as well as faster CPUs with more cache. The problem with a new Mac Pro is I just bought a MacBook Air last fall and my wife thinks that one Mac for each person in our house (as well as one iOS device for each person!) is too much.
 
Way too quiet in this Forum. I'm still Folding on my Mac Pro and my HP with the NVIDIA GPU client. 18,000,000 Points and slowly going forward.

I had my Home LAN die to the upstairs bedroom, so I'm doing it right and ran a 1-1/4" flexible duct from the basement through the center utility stack in my house, in through the wall to behind my bedroom TV. Today I'm pulling coax and CAT5e so I can get rid of the temporary cable strung through the house.
 
Quiet? It's as if this post doesn't exist. And it looks as if we're down to only 18 of us. Ah well.

The latest projects seem to be taking more and more power and Nvidia has been releasing buggier and buggier drivers. I'm staying at 285.79 for a while.

I'm still using the 285.62 driver. The last update slowed my system to a crawl. I had to revert back.
 
I wonder how many PPD the new GTX 690 card will crank out?

I believe fewer than the last generation. The chip architecture took a compute hit this generation. I have not seen a folding benchmark, but the other compute benchmarks have the 6xx series behind the 5xx series.
