Folding@Home Team Members' Milestone Thread

[redbeardeddevil]

Just give it time. The average thing kinda stinks cuz it takes a long time to get up to speed. I am averaging a lot more per day but because of my lower average from before GPU2 Folding it is dragging my current rate down. Took a week to get to half of my real average.

Congrats to ashland thunder for taking 4th in daily production.
I see we are still outperforming our averages, it just takes time for the 7 day average to catch up with our real numbers.
Here's a cold one, buddy.

There's no real threats on our team overtakes page now. (At least on the same page.) That's a great feeling.
Start of this month, it was all red and no green.

I think all the big GPU2 folding teams have already moved past, and we've just got the old school'ers behind us now.

Looks like we can overtake a bunch of teams in front of us in a couple of weeks also...

[redbeardeddevil]

I think you are right PA. Looking at the numbers seems to indicate so. We are as large as many of the site-teams in the front, but we lack the participation level. I guess on the bright side we can make the top 100 again in a couple-few months.

Woohoo!!!!
We now have 4 people contributing 6k+ per day on our team!!!!!!!!!
More than any other category!!!!!!!!!
We went from a shark with nothing but tail, to a shark with some sharp teeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are you saying...?

[caz223]

What I'm sayin' is that you're doing a hell of a job, but we need other people to step up, and I'm glad to see it starting to happen..........
Our top 20 list regularly contains inactive members because we don't have 20 active members every week.

I agree, but I think a lot of folks (not just our team) have obviously waited until the Nvidia/GPU2 client arrived, but didn't have the time/spare hardware for the CPU clients.

At least now there is more choice, and it's very easy to put a card in an old rig and still be very productive, and it doesn't cost too much either. I know I had a couple of spare machines (a C7 and an A64) that were pretty much only capable of sitting doing ~100 PPD, which are now doing 30 odd times that amount...

(a C7 and an A64)

Not trying to detract from your point, but I'm so tired that when I read C7 and A64, I saw C64, and started wondering how you hooked up a 8 series nV card up to a commodore 64.
I'm going to bed.

I've still got a spare C64 also, if I could rig an 8 series nV card up to it, it would be done already...

I think the next folding rig I buy/build will probably be pretty goofy, for example I'm trying to find one of those rare Epox S754 NF4 SLI boards just so I can make some use out of an old Sempron.
