    Is Elemental: War of Magic any good?

    Thank you for the suggestions, will have to give it a go. I did enjoy the Galactic Civilizations series, so it can't be all bad. Pity it appears to be one of those Impulse games, as I was hoping I'd seen the back of that thing. At least the price was right. :)

    Is Elemental: War of Magic any good?

    Hello folks, Just won a boxed "Elemental Limited Edition" by playing in EVGA's Team Fortress 2 drawing, and was curious if anyone had experience with it. This is the game that nearly killed Stardock, right? It didn't seem polite to ask on their forum if the game is even worth installing...

    Hit a Folding (Stanford) milestone? Post it here:

    After thinking my desktop had died, and wondering if the past few days of folding were actually working, somehow today my pc has come back to life, and also the folding points managed to reach 10 million. Whee. :)

    Can folding 24/7 reduce hardware lifespan?

    Hello again, just wanted to write one last update. After trying everything that had been suggested, and getting nowhere, I gave up in frustration and stopped fooling around with it for a few days. Thought about building something around a 2500k instead, but today (oh, is that the time...

    Can folding 24/7 reduce hardware lifespan?

    Hello, yes, I have replaced the power supply, and tried a different cpu, without success. Noticed an "open box" Rampage III Formula at newegg for $200, but from a previous life working retail I suspect that means "box may contain a bare motherboard without accessories, or possibly a pair of...

    Can folding 24/7 reduce hardware lifespan?

    Hello folks, thanks for the assistance. I have tried the clear cmos button, and also tried the "go" button which according to the manual enables the MemOK! feature, whatever that might be. Still having the same results, unfortunately. At first I thought clearing the cmos had worked...

    Can folding 24/7 reduce hardware lifespan?

    Apologies for the silly question... My desktop is Asus Rampage III Formula, with i7-950 @ 3.8GHz (was using 4.2, but the increased voltage and heat got old so I pulled back to something more peaceful.) It's been folding nearly constantly since I noticed one of those contests earlier this...

    Questions regarding building a 2600k machine for folding

    A progress update, pieces have arrived, made some minor adjustments. Bought the 1.25V G.Skill ram, which arrived today. Couldn't find a Corsair H100 anywhere so currently the 2600K is running at the stock clocks with the stock cooler. Used the HX650 for this machine, and ordered one more for...

    Questions regarding building a 2600k machine for folding

    Thanks to everyone for all the helpful suggestions, much good information to consider. Will order things next Monday unless I discover some horrible blunder in the offing. Current plans are as follows: Asus P8Z68-V Pro - Folding won't even use 10% of the things on that motherboard, but as I...

    Questions regarding building a 2600k machine for folding

    Hello folks, After about two months of this folding business, I've begun thinking about some upgrades. Since my spare Q9450 machine is only getting around 16k-20k ppd (8k from the cpu and the rest from various video cards) I might just give it to my nephew for his...

    Some beginner questions.

    Hello again, thanks for the assistance everyone. Looks like people understood what was happening even though I didn't explain it terribly well... The v7 client idea sounds promising - will see how the 5870 numbers improve with it. Also noticed suggestions for deleting dlls and setting...

    Some beginner questions.

    Hello, Just started this folding thing, looks like a good way to get some use out of old hardware - would have been even better in December - but I haven't been able to figure out some things yet... So far running these folding things on two machines. One is a Q9450 @ 3.4 GHz, with a...
