Possible FAKE!

found out about it here:

http://www.maximumpc.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25471

i checked them out myself. either stanford hasn't updated thier webpage, or they redid entirely a few of thier servers with new 5 point WU's. If so, here is what i gleaned from the folks at maximum pc:



there are some new WU's out there!

worth 5 points each!

I know this doesn't sound like much, but i've been lurkin' other forums, and it seems people are gettin' 5-10 minute folds on these.... at about 5 minutes a WU, they are gonna average over 1k PPD!!!!! (that's if these are all they get!). even at 10 minutes per WU which seems to be the long that i've seen, that's still 500PPD!

Has anyone gotten any of these?
 
yeah I got one of those last night, I thought I had a work unit that errored out, but apparently I was wrong. http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=102778

Unlike the unicorn, they do exist. These units were sent out to -advmethods machines. If everything went smooth with those small test runs, then the units are going to be upped to normal run times. As explained here. Fold if ya got 'em!
