Well after wiping everything out and doing fresh installs again it seems to be working. Only lost 2 months of a Q6600 production :(

I have restarted the system, I have wiped everything out except the executable and still keep getting assigned to the same server. It would complete a unit and then say it couldn't connect. Is there any way to request a different server?

C'mon guys I did the simple stuff - Yes I can ping the server, etc. I didn't know if something had happened over the last few months that they would continue to assign work but not accept i back.

I restarted the client with the -send flag and it still refused. /edit - wouldn't even upload one completed yesterday.

Due to surgery then getting back to work I've been kinda ignoring my Linux box which had been crunching along fine up till September and it seems that I've 9 WU built up on each instance. I tried a -send all to clear and all I get is "can't connect to server". (171.64.65.56:8080) Any...

Fry's has it for $180. What's the folding community's thoughts on how fast this will fall? I see them introducing the Core 2 Quad Q8200 for a $203 soon, do you think that I could find another Q6600 for say $150 by September?

Frys.com just dropped the price to $180. EVEN sweeter.

I'm surprised no one has complained about the poll being about "boxen". I'm buying (for work) quad processor, quad core servers. I just wish I could burn them in for the warranty period :) That's 16 fast cores in 1 boxen. I've got at home an AMD 2500+ that's 1 slow core in 1 boxen. Which...

On my Kubuntu box if I kill 1 Fold the other does not die. Dual SMP's no VM.

Not to hijack this fun thread - But does anyone run THEIR machines at HOME to earn legitimate money, and thus allow them to qualify for a tax writeoff? For instance - do a CPU intensive render job for $500 and writeoff a quad core machine for $400.
