heck yeah... we passed up BFG Technologies and held off ATI Technologies, which is huge seeing how much press ATI got with the launch of the F@H GPU clients a few months ago.

Next teams to pass up are Purdue, Hot Hardware and G4 Tech TV

That's the pass I'm looking forward to. Bastards ruined a perfectly good network, and the careers of a few decent folks. Most of the "celebs" from TechTV, and even the ZDTV days went on to do their own things and are doing well.[/b]

Well Darkstar... with the stat server problems of late, I can't really tell how much you're gaining on me, but if you pass me, congrats.

I was hoping to have my new machine up and running by now, but I haven't been able to get around to pick up the rest of the parts yet.

Iceman,

That would be cool, but i dont think its going to happen, got some older rigs running the GUI, which i will probably take down soon. But hey, at least we keep climbing up there!!

I took my SMP machine down today. It's been running 100% for 10 days straight, so I gave it the day off.

Take a look now... you have me by a couple slots, but it won't be that way for long. The SMP rig is back at it, and I hope to have the dedicated SMP folder running, if not by this weekend, then by the following weekend.

Iceman, building another E6600 today!

I'll let it run dedicated for a few weeks as a burn in

I'm using the SMP on my E6600 and graphical on my old Athlon. SMP runs both cores at 100% and I have the graphical turned up to max, running it at 100% on my "daily driver". I use this computer for email, surfing and such, and even with graphical running at 100% I hardly notice it slowing down at all for what I do. When I'm encoding movies or compressing/decompressing files, I take a pretty big hit in speed there, but I usually just let it run and come back later for the files.

nice. I'm trying to figure out how I can budget a new folding machine every few months... but I haven't quite got it nailed down yet. ;)

lol, let me know when you nail it down...
I'm hooked, even folding on my laptops....
