Kick off 2008 with a resolution to FOLD for LR ...

Post by stev »

Calling all LR FOLDERS,

Folding @ Home and team 38296 Legit Reviews needs your help in a big way for the New Year of 2008.

The team's ranks have slid some in the past two quarters and we need to kick off the new year in a great way.

Have you made any New Year's resolutions that you really can never keep? How about making one that helps others by Folding @ Home.

So, if you have folded for the team in the past and not now, here's your chance to step back up to the plate.

Download the latest Folding @ Home software here: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download

THEN, reply back to this posting at LR stating your new New Year's resolution is working!

Did you mean to link back to this thread there? Just got the email, now the link makes sense.

I feel a pang when we need to rally people to fold, as I can't really justify leaving my PC on folding lots as it would use up too much electric and my parents would moan lots, but I want to fold all the same.

I'm half tempted to get a second rig (maybe just even a caseless rig) and take it to work and leave it folding all the time, but that's kind of misusing their electric and I work in a school, so their money isn't endless either.

Where does one get that spiffy table graphic that shows your rank and such?

Is it auto updating?

I STILL have this quad-core sitting here collecting dust :( I was waiting till I could get a 8800gt video card to get it up and running, but that seems to be a LONG way off so I might swap it in this computer soon and try the repair thing in windows to see if I can do it without reinstalling everything.

stopthekilling77 showed up with the format not too long ago here. I just so happen to find the table graphic at the F@H site.

YES, it auto updates! So, you don't need to do anything, but keep folding. :P

I like the auto update to quickly evaluate my standings rather than jumping over to the other sites.

Hopefully this thread will see some others who are getting back in the game for the team!

If you keep the default colors, the colors will reflect your point level with that of EOF colors according to the team ranking for the user.

With my current running, they are pretty darn close to LR colors. Coincidence... I think not. hehe.

I need to get one of those graphics as well... :-k

I also need to get both my 754 system and my spare AM2 X2 system folding. Should be good for double my current ppd, more if I add some more socket A rigs to the fold.
AMD Opteron 1224SE "Santa Ana" = DFI Lanparty UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G
Crucial Ballistix 4x1GB DDR2 800 = Corsair CMPSU-750TX
Sapphire 4870 1GB = Sceptre X20WG-Naga 20" = Logitech X-530 5.1
Seagate 320GB (SATA II) x2 = Samsung SH-S203B (SATA)

looks like in 13 hours, I'll take down the 500k mark... and in less than 24 hours, another step up the LR ranks taking out JDW3. From there, I've got a little work to do. About 95k to the next step, and 300k to the next. Did I mention I need to get more machines folding? :)

Happy New Year all!

Happy New Year :) The new mobile chips should be out in a couple of months. When that happens I'll be folding with that as well 24/7. Great job folding all those points in such a short time.
