Our production is down, I think a couple of our top ten folders are taking a break. I know the severs being down was tuff on everyone, but we could really use all the help we can get. Every single person on this team makes a difference. That is why we are a team, we are Synergy...
"synergy "- meaning when parts work together SO well, that the "whole" becomes greater than the sum of the parts!

Wega!

NOOO!!! This can't be happening! Come on, we can't let them get away with this!

Let's Fold!

Are you turning 4 computers off? Why????

Nutndun is back so I would venture a guess that the difference we see now is going to be gone shortly. The heat in the NE has been oppressive so I had to clock down a couple of my boxes for a few days...as others may have had to do as well.

More power captain!!!! Keep those boxes foldin'

Kyle from [H] was in here a while back, and if anyone we should crucify him... :) or no one, since we're all working towards a good cause.

ahhh... sucks we are down... I got my Duron online and it is folding as fast as it can... which isn't fast, and I can't overclock because I have a bad mobo... oh well at least I have two systems folding here...

stanman how many systems do you have folding? I couldn't tell from you signature... I am probably reading it wrong but it sounded like 24 computers! :eek:

Fold on!

Yea I know, I figured it was about time I paid you guys a visit and see how things where!:) Just when I thought we were actually catching up to your team you guys/gals bump it in a higher gear and pulled away in a hurry!:cool: As you might have seen, MadOnion.com has been in a major battle with AthlonOC to make sure we keep our #6 spot. It was looking pretty bad there for a bit but now it seem like we are matching their production. I'm just happy i'll finally be back up to my old 5 machine folding efforts. I sold off a little p2 350 box I had to a buddy that needed a cheap computer for school a month ago or so but now im replacing it with my first ddr setup!:D I'm totally looking forward to putting it all together....but don't worry, its only one machine so I don't think our totals will change much overall....hopefully it will just bump me up into the top75 producing folders...:p

Again, as always....good luck to everyone who is part of the WWW.OVERCLOCKERS.COM folding@home effort!:)

I know I'll be back up and folding with (hopefully) 3 boxes when school starts again (for a total of 2.863 GHz folding power). I'll also get my roommate's Duron going for us... (D700@800, he doesnt like to push it all that much esp. with just a chrome orb on it). My friends' P4 1.5 will also be folding under my name again.

By the way, I am still in need of a few parts for my other 2 folders... if anyone has anything laying around. :)

You are always welcome to stop by! :) We welcome the friendly competition, you know! Good luck on that DDR setup.

Thanks!:D This new setup is a totally departure for me from what I have used before. Not only is it a ddr based instead of sdr, its also an Epox motherboard(never used them before) and its not air cooled. I got a Vapochill case from a friend in need of some money for a good price but the guy moved away before I old get him to help me setup my system so things could be interesting to say the least. I'm thinking I might go and buy a cheaper cpu to try it out on first that way if something goes wrong I don't fry the 1.4ghz Athlon MP I have coming this week. Maybe a 1ghz t-bird would work nicely....that way when im done testing it I could pop that into my main working system which is using a Duron600@1125. Would make a nice, cheap upgrade for that box too!:)

Since you are already a member of this board, why not head over to the cooling section to get some help or info on how to setup the VapoChill? :)

Thats an excellent suggestion, I just wonder how many folks have vapochill setups?.....guess its always worth a try!;)

Howdy only my second post here but I passed the 1000 mark today. Only 689 for the team so far. 324 from before. Checked out the Stanford page today and found this:

The Onions and Athlon OC are talking about teaming up.

I've seen them talking about joining to try to overtake [H] before, it won't happen. Not only would they lose their current stats, but there would be too much opposition to it.

Well guys the ol' puter hasnt been liking 150fsb with this heat but as you need some more WU's i just cranked up the a/c and 150fsb it is. Hope the extra 110mhz helps.

Stanman

08-09-01, 12:00 AM

They could merge and only loose less than half of their stats and nobody could stop them, only catch is everybody from one team would just have to join the other, and the one team would die. Obviously everybody from the lesser team would join the one with greater stats. :p

Well guys the ol' puter hasnt been liking 150fsb with this heat but as you need some more WU's i just cranked up the a/c and 150fsb it is

I checked the room temp in one of my back bedrooms today, the one with only eight rigs in it. These stable Athlons are folding along in 105f room temp!!!! :eek:

Hehe, "Team MadAthlonOC". Well, if they can't do it alone, I guess they have to team up. Thats fine.

Hey Open, did you ever get that Duron box together to fold? I would think it would be a more proficient folder than your P3....

SickBoy

OpenFriday

08-09-01, 06:31 PM

No sir, sold the duron and now ive got a cel 400@600 and a p2 300@450. All i need is the mobo (in the mail from shadow) and i'll be all set. Mobo's been in the mail for two weeks so its gotta be here any day now.

Btw- I know nothing about folding but i have a Q.

Which would fold faster, celeron 400@600 or P2300@450 (im sure i could manage 504) Which ever one is slower will be sold and the AMD box's shall begin. B-day is in a month and Christmas is not too far away so i should get my act together soon and start producing some more computers at a much faster rate. (Ive got no job so computer building is a tad tough with no cash.)

I'm almost positive the celeron will fold faster, L2 cache doesn't seem to matter as much in folding as it does in other stuff.

OpenFriday

08-09-01, 06:53 PM

Alright thanks, see i dont know anything about how folding works so i thought maybe the L2 would play some role, i guess not, idealy i'd like to get both up but i think i'll sell one of the two in favor of an AMD based proc. Thanks for the info.

SickBoy

08-09-01, 10:41 PM

Yeah, I second that, get rid of the P2. My dual P2 400 box at work is pretty slow - it only puts out acceptable volumes of WU's just because it's dualie box... sell that bad pup and slam a Duron together, guaranteed to outfold by a mile and a half.

SickBoy

OpenFriday

08-09-01, 10:47 PM

Well SickBoy funny you mention that because i was just talking to someone and a duron 800 may be comming in the near future, i will then sell this cel and p2 and mobo (dont tell shadow cause hes shipping it to me and i havent even gotten it yet, sorry Shadow) Then i should get a decent mobo and a duron and once my bday and christmas roll around i hope to get my act together. With no income its a pain.

Sorry guys. My router went to meet its maker (literallly) and I have been without 24/7 connection time. Now that the replacement has arrived and is up and running, box #2 is going back on line.

I love this team. I think we all owe it to our selves to realize what a great group of people we all are and how dedicated we are to this project. We actualy feel bad and apologize when we cant fold. I am proud to be a member of this team no matter how good we do because I know we all strive to do the best we can.
