June Folding Team Update: 800,000 Points

Post by Apoptosis »

Legit Folding has moved up another 14 spots and currently ranked nicely at 250! That means 14 teams have been passed up and more than 115,000 points were cranked out last month!


Team Statistics:
Current Rank: 250th (Last month 264th)

Just recently we had a few members hit some big milestones for our young team! Let's try to get a couple more members on the team this week. Ask a friend or family member that runs their PC 24-7 to start folding for a good cause and to join up on Team 38296!

Member Milestones:

infinitevalence leads the team with a total of 200,000 total points
infinitevalence is also ranked 1,764 among all individual folders
GNome tops 90,000 points
Novicegamer slams past the 15,000 point mark with ease
jigr69 reaches the 45,000 point marker
Apoptosis just topped 65,000 points
Kristin has turned in 20,000 points
grunt has 8,000 points from overseas
Last, but not least new team members InFuZiOn and Bubba069 have both passed up 2,000 points each!

Upcoming Teams We Will Soon Pass:

Two more hardware review sites are soon to be passed at our current pace! Last month we knocked out SweClockers, 3DVelocity, linuxjunkies and 3DGamers... Keep up the good work.

245 Rabid Hardware - 11 Days
232 ClubOC - 30 Days

Folding Team Goals:

Kick those folding rigs into high gear and lets pass up some other review sites in the industry! At the current pace we will pass both sites in June. Tell your friends to come fold and help out team 38296. At the current pace we will break 1 million team points the first week of July. Amazing how far the team has come!

Quad!!! i just orded a dual xeon, partialy because i could use a real workstation and also so i can get my PPD up some more :) but if you have a quad system .... i guess it was only a matter of time until some one joined who could get more processing power than i have access to.

btw novice, at one point my ppd droped to like 800 and for a second i thought i was going to loose my spot as #1 producer, thats kinda why my ppd has shot back up i got on the ball and added some more systems, right now i have

2x 3.0 xeon with 2gb memory
2x 3.0 xeon with 2gb memory
2x 1.6 optron with 1gb memory
3.0 p4 with 1gb memory
3.0 p4 with 1gb memory
3.4 p4 EE with 1gb memory
2.6 A64 with 1gb memory
2.3 AXP with 512mb memory

I will soon be adding another 2x 2.8 xeon with 512mb. But i could loose either of the 3.0 xeon systems as they are development computers at work and they are not entierly comfortalbe with FAH on them... bastards. I also have a few systmes around most are like p3 800 so nothing amazing but still another cpu :)
