Wow, 204K points yesterday.Looks like the Scorpion has got a few new units in production, over 44K yesterday.:up
Nope same clients. I think
10k was suppose to be on the day before totals.
I'm coming up on my 1 year anniversary date and may reach 1.7 million points and you are trying for 1 million in a month.I'm trying for my first 1 million point month. we'll see.
That's outstanding. You are producing more then I am, and I'm running an SMP client and 2 GPU clients (both ATI cards). The nVidia GPU client seems to just kill the ATI clients that I have. Are the ATI cards really that much slower? Or is the folding app more optimized for those nVidia GPU's?
I think you are doing more output some days - I just had a really good day (timing on the WU finishes).
I heard the setup is geared toward Nvidia, and I got my new 9800GTX+ for $120, so it's a heck of a deal. That's probably one of the best ppd/$ investment out there.
I run about 5-6k just for the GPU. So that's up to 50 points / $ / day.
On the other hand, my crappy ATI 3450 card couldn't put out any points and it was $30. So that's 0 points / $ / day. What an improvement.
I've noticed the Stanford stats have been taking 2+ hours sometimes which can cause the EOC stats to miss an update. I think this has happened a few times lately. As long as it works out in the end, it's all good.Nope same clients. I think
We passed 43,000,000 million points today!
OK, qfiix was bust. It did repair two files and all WU's got sent but the SMP client is still shutting down at the completion of a WU. I deleted the config file and renamed the work directory. Then I started the SMP with the -configonly flag. After restarting the SMP, it created a new work directory and began it's run. Let's hope that it starts to load new WU's as it should. (fingers crossed)

Welcome to the team yourbeliefs. For me, it was a bit confusing finding out the best download and setup to maximize my CPU and video card. We're here to help if need be. You might even have your PS3 folding already.

(BTW - this was my 777th post!)

*bowing* Yes yes I joined. This was a two-fold (no pun intended) initiative. First off, unfortunately my PS3 has been collecting dust as of late with my 360 taking up most of the time (with the Wii coming in a distant 2nd.) Secondly, we're coming up on the year anniversary of my mother dying of breast cancer at the young age of 56, and when I saw that this thing contributes to cancer research, I thought the LEAST I could do is use one of the things my mom hated for a good cause. It also helps that I have a flat utility bill.
Awesome! The PS3 is a great way to contribute when it's not in use.
If you end up folding on your computer, there are a lot of options to wade through. I was harly outputting any work units at first - and then I downloaded the SMP client and became much more effective.
Welcome aboard, glad to have you on the team!

Got 2 new 285 EVGA's that replaced the 2 ATI 3850's... Not sure the 43 is valid??? Have 12 -14 at work mostly junk smp clients. Then PS3 and 2 AMD comps at home .. 1 With 3 9800 GtX+ converted to 250's( Via Bios Flash)
One with the 2 new 285's. Both are running win 7 and an SMP Client.
May have 1 Toshibia laptop folding ( Girlfriend) 100 ppd at best and the Part time friend fired up the PS3 for the weekend.. Can't see 43 in that..??
Great Folding this week! A new SatelliteGuys.US Team record! 1.2 or 1.3 Million points! May 2009 will be a record month at this rate, too.
Edit: Okay, it was a little less than 1.2 Million points: 1,189,484 points and 1,731 Work Units, both weekly records for our team. Also, we've moved up to the 75th position based on 24 hour average points production!

You are holding the team record, as of late (or longer), for the most PPD. Nearly 49,000 in one day - impressive!
