    No, not having system issues per se. Most of my folders are work machines and I had to stop folding on a couple of them recently. Also, I'm switching the majority of my machines back to running the standard client because I got tired of babysitting the SMP client. I've still got 4 machines...

    Well, it looks like SatinKzo hit the absolutely INCREDIBLE 1,000,000 point milestone!! :clap Shouldn't there be some sort of prize for such an accomplishment? Good job Satin, you should be proud.

    Doubtful. I lost 3 folding machines this afternoon, two quad Xeons and a dual Xeon. I did add two dual-core machines to help lessen the blow, but my production is still going to drop. That leaves me: 1x Core 2 Quad @ 3.0Ghz 1x Athlon X2 @ 2.6Ghz 1x Athlon X2 @ 2.8Ghz (new) 1x Core 2 Duo @...

    Yup, everything is up and running smoothly. Just waiting for my 24hr average to climb back up to what it once was. By the end of the weekend I hope to be right back up there on par with what you're putting down. Then I'll look to add another machine on Tuesday.:cool:

    Hey guys, I wanted to poke my head in for a minute and let everybody know what's been going on. First of all I physically moved some of my folding machines around last week and didn't get them all back up and folding in time before I went on vacation. So at least one of my quad Xeon machines...

    Me either, I need any help I can get to shorten that huge lead of yours. BTW, I'm jealous of your new PS3 (not because of the games, of course).

    My quad's not even up and running yet. Still waiting on the heatsink. ;)

    Thanks:D I know from experience that the duos are incredible CPUs for the money, though the X2s beat them at the sub-$150 price range, but I've never gotten the chance to play with a quad. I know how good they are on paper, but I am excited to find out how good they are in real world applications.

    Well I took the dive and upgraded my personal machine. Old ---> New X2 5600+ ---> Q6600 MSI K9N SLI Platinum ---> Asus P5K-E 7600GT ---> 8800GT I'm an AMD guy at heart, and I've never used an Intel in a homebuilt rig, so this is new ground for me. But the price of the Q6600 was just too sweet...

    Looks like the team's 24hr average has been creeping up the past few days to almost 40k PPD with an user average of 1000+! If we keep this up we could start putting down 1.2 million points a month. :eek: I noticed the user SatelliteGuys has really ramped up production in the past week. That's...

    Thanks Scorp. The team's doing well. Love that cold weather.

    It looks like, despite a short slump in production we experienced earlier in the month, we are doing better than ever. Thanks largely to Scorpion and SatinKzo adding more machines to their farms I would suspect. We've got a lot of inactive users, I wish there was some way to get them folding...

    Congrats! It still hasn't cooled off down here in Texas, and boy will I be glad when it finally does. I had to stop folding on the laptop today because the core temps were above 65c even in a very air conditioned room. How are the folders at work doing for you?
