teams haven't been officially decided but it may be a all vs our top 3 folders: Darkstar, Vbironchef, and KnightRid. Sounds like they got "HUGE" plans for the war :)

If you are interested in folding make sure to post in the Folding War thread. http://forums.legitreviews.com/about30852.html

I know, it's 80 degrees in my office this morning and that's only running 1 card. I wonder if I can water cool the office itself?

So your telling me to leave my upgrades on the shelf until the war starts.. :roll:

I have 4 GTX 560 cards in my shopping cart...I just can't click the button. Getting cheap in my old age. Maybe the folding war will make me loosen up teh purse strings [-o< > That would make a total of 2 GTX 275s (18,000 PPD) and 6 560 gtxs (12-14,000 PPD each) and I would still have an I7 system, GTX 260, 8800 gts 512 and a 250 in reserve.

I'll take on darkstar and Knightrid and you guys get victor/natasha :P


But as always...talk is cheap

I still have my i7 930 machine on hold (have to install winders. My steady folder took a poop with the power outages yesterday and I can't get it to boot into windows or boot by cd...just goes to black screen after post. Need to work on it now. I did manage to get my smp WU turned in a day after it should have.

wi-fuzzy, I remember the last time you folded and your wife was not too happy. What has changed? Your going to need at least 100K ppd to be the point leader.

I probably won't be the point leader. I just don't want to be. If I threw everything at folding I could probably have 120,000 PPD. But I would rather have just a couple boxes in my house folding....to keep the wife "blissfully ignorant to the fact" ...so I don't get :axe:

wi-fuzzy so your not folding for Hardware Canucks anymore and your not folding for Legit Reviews for now, so what's your plan? Did you get the :axe: ?

I'm really getting tired of this graphic card B.S.
