You'll be green again after the 3 days worth of WU's on the 1 day come off your 7 day stats. ;)

Another few hundred points this week and I would have turned orange because of the 3 in 1 day thing.

Sorry if I burst your bubble. :cool:

I've hit yellow twice before without any buildups. All I need is one more modest processor to stay yellow. I've been very consistant over the months and haven't dropped below 500ppw once. Everyone passing me has more than two processors.

What happened to the Dual Pentium Pro 200??

It's not worth the electricity to run it 24/7 folding. At best it puts out ~40ppw folding tinkers. I was going to build a new duallie but my plans are on hold due to not enough income and too many debts. Maybe next January...

My fallback plan is to buy and refurbish a dual PIII Xeon 550 platform for a couple of C notes. That should put out 300ppw on s2k3 and be a decent SMP upgrade for now.

Yeah I want to get a dually sometime, I 've been eyeing some P3 dual boards on ebay but I don't know yet If I am going to do that or AMD XP's modded for MP.

If you just get the MSI K7D Master L, SK7 CPU heatsinks/fans and a couple of XP2400s or 2500 Bartons you can get in for $400. This is if you can strip the rest out of spare parts or lesser rigs.

If you're running w2k you can get by with 128Mb of RAM and fly with 256Mb. Double that for XP. Linux will run on even less if you don't use the KDE or GNOME GUI.

I went yellow a while back, then went back to green during a slump but have now have well regained my yellow status :) I only have a couple heavy hitters though, 1 XP2100, Tbird 1.33, 1.8 Celly but not 24/7, and a 1.0 Duron, the rest is all older Duron & K6-2 power.
