Id like to rejoin the top 10 club. Was fun while it lasted.

You guys are just too much for me. Don't make me spend more money.

Ill have a 660, a 2.4c, and 3500+ to add to the mix. Hope to bump me up a few notches, and try to rejoin the crew at the top.

I will get back into the top 20 folders. I refuse to drop any more spots.

So watch out top 11 ;)

Hmmmm, I thought you were leading Team Intel last time? :p

Hey, wishing the best of luck with this venture :thup:

I'll be happy to get into the top 100 myself. I might make it in the next 7 months or so at current production levels...... :cool:

I was. Doesn't mean the a64 can't fold.

It won't last long. I have some 560s to replace it. :D

Am just joking..... Replace it? Why not simply add the 560s. The A64 would still offer a good level of folding powah.

If I had one of those folding for me it would represent my single most powerful system in my folding arsenal..... But then again, that's why I'm only in the top 200 and not the top 100...... :shrug:

Cause I only have 125a electrical service.

With all the computers, pelts, and phase chnages, Im pushing my luck already.

Plus, I think my wallet is bleeding.

I have a little challenge for you, if the moderators approve.

You make it into the top ten within 21 days and I will have my rank changed to "Owned by fishy" or "Fishys biotch" or similar (within reason). If you fail, you have your rank changed appropriatly.

You up for it?

:D

As much as Id love to be there in 21 days, I just don't think thats going to happen.

Also, I won't be staying for long. Especialy with people like Hellsya comming up on me with 7k PPD.

How many rigs have you got running on that extension cord? (Just kidding :D). I have a 200a box but the clown that wired the main (before I bought the place) used al-u-mini-um which dropped rating to about 150. Have you looked into upgrading to 200 or adding a wind mill (Just think how many rigs you could have folding during a noreaster :D )

We all hope your new job will fill it faster than your hobby drains it :p

I'm getting tired of being < top 50 so I'm finally looking at an inexpensive P4 farm to snag more QMDs than my 3 current Intel processor will allow. I may have to forgo my memory OC aspirations in order to finance my mini QMD farm.

You will be in the top 100.

I hope so. From what I can see from the user future featre over at "Extreme Overclocking" it looks like you'll overtake me just as I get into the top 100..... :eh?:

I think I might have a spare breaker slot in my junction box and run a little extra juice to set up a farm. A P3 and 2 Macs sit idle hmmm. I've managaed to push into the mid 4000s with 3 rigs running at different intervals, but It's still a long way to the top 100. I will have to figure a way not to tick off my isp when they start seeing 6 IPs running through their pipes. Think I could get them to let me do it for a cause.
"Captin, She's giving all she's got, I just don't think she can Fold any Faster"!

G5's are pretty damn good, g4's are teh sux.

How do G5's compare with X86 CPU's? I mean, what would a 1GHz G5 be equivalent to in the X86 world?

The bandaid doesn't help mine any more.

I think it needs a graft.

Gotta pinch that artery off. Presently feeding green slop to my CC in an attempt to fatten it up for the X2s. Would appear to be a good folding solution for one limited to four computers. Unfortunately I have no 939 gear so it will be a complete upgrade (after first out prices come down a tad) unless DFI will release the 939 AGP solution.

MN, energy is cheap I got a cheap as hell energy bill. Like $35.00ish a month. That's with one 24/7 folder and a 12/7 folder.

back when i had an apartmen, during the winter time I could drop the bill to the low 30s because I would shut off thermostat, power up every rig I had and open a window to let the snow come in =D
but during the summer it was ~40s w/o many rigs and ~55 with most rigs up, but this was also the combined cost of more A/C to fight back the heat lol.

As for me my eventual goal is top 100, maybe 50 but ill be pushing into top 200 before the workweek is over. Just need to find more space for computers really, power is no issue as of now :D Need to get back into apartment so i can rig up some major duct work to vent all the heat straight outside would do wonders for A/C needs, or maybe I could cut a hole in my closet ceiling to vent into the atic not sure if the tenants would appreciate that tho ^^;

Me. I encourage other people to get new hardware. Basically the deal is that I'll give them a system configuration, they buy the parts, I assemble the system and install OS & apps.

I get a carton of imported beer out of it and the right to load f@h onto it! :p
