It's October and that means Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Ignore the pink overload stuff that happens on TV and wherever this month and whether it's folding, crunching , donating time or donating money, help in the fight against Breast Cancer. You need a challenge of sorts? Ramp up for...

Slacker here is back and folding with this amazing rig.

With all of the moving around I've kinda lost interest in this project even though I live near big earthquake country. If this latest move ends up looking promising I might as well put my sensor back to work.

Stanford must be getting ambitious with their workunits as I've got 2 units needing more than 5 hours to fold. Project 9412 tpf 4:39 with my GTX 780ti @1137 Mhz est ppd: 240966 Project 9430 tpf 7:46 GTX 960 est ppd: 188648 Base speed is reported at 1304 Mhz, but I haven't found the reported...

It's time for a round of beer and tamales for team 33! On 9-15-15 our points for the day broke 13 million points. Last month on the same date total points was around 8 million. :eek: Way to Go!

I could not get into free-DC to check my stats without any luck. The most recent time I tried to look up my stats I got the following: :(

You read it correctly, there is a way to successfully install and run Linux 0.5.5 DIMES. I know, you've read all of those posts on various forums about all of the install errors, tried the workarounds and it was just way too much trouble to mess with. After a bit of troubleshooting and testing...

I did not see a thread started, so I thought I would say congrats to Grandpa_01 for winning a really close race. Thank you Grandpa and you all out there remember: OLD GUYS RULE!!!!

Since my son likes keeping his computer on 24/7 I thought I might as well have it fold. The box has an Athlon II x 240 processor so I think I'll just have it GPU fold. Currently it has a GTS 250 with a dying fan so I want to get something in there with a little bit more firepower. Any advise on...

Just to get things back in perspective for a moment October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please look look past the pink this and pink that we seem to have to suffer through during October and remember those that some of us know that suffer from this form of Cancer.

Intel is rolling out new 32nm processors which are to have up to 10 cores of goodness. Here's the announcement link. The one that interests me at first glance is the 10-core E7-8867L which has a clock speed of 2.13 GHz and a TDP of 105 watts. Time for a new version of the SR-2!

For the second time now my L5640 decided to take a more leisurely pace when folding a bigadv. Sometime during the middle of a 6900 the frame times jumped to over 30 minutes per frame instead of 23 minutes per frame it cruises along at. I checked task manager and the CPU utilization was at 9%...

I just landed in the 49 spot, well at least until I get mowed by MIBW. Also I broke into the 100k+ ppd bracket thanks to my L5640 running full time.:)

This month please take a moment to think about the people and their families who have fought breast cancer. http://ww5.komen.org/

I ran the Frontpage of [H] through the pirate translator in honor of Talk like a Pirate Day. The shout out to the folding team goes as follows: Go here for the rest of the Frontpage in pirate speak.

I should know better than this. Yesterday I installed Windows 7 on the 980x. The install went fine and one of my top (the top?) priorities was to get back folding again. So I installed and fired up the CPU and GPU clients and I was back in business. This morning I walked into the living room and...

This is the server that I was getting no bigadv work assignments and now I know why after I found the answer here at the folding forum. From Dr. Kasson:

Today I received an e-mail from VMware about a new version of Workstation. Even though I was not interested I went over to their website and found that VMware Player Version 3.1 (build 261024) supports 8-way SMP. Read the release noted here. Now that Win A3 smp bigadv is on the horizon WMware...

My two GTX 275s are getting pretty flaky as of late. I have not been able to get them to fold for more than a couple of WUs per day. The rest of the time I'm fighting with them to get something to start. Mostly I get the UNSTABLE_MACHINE error and it is getting me mad. So far I've wiped out...

FDA just approved a vaccine to help fight prostate cancer. What's neat about this therapy is it uses the body's own immune system to fight the cancer. So now there is another weapon in addition to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Read the story here.

Just got a GTS 250 for my AMD build. When it's on it'll get some nice points. It's working on a 5771 at an average of 6400 ppd. :):):)

One of my GPUs started to run up the temps on any work unit it was crunching. My T-rad cooler was doing a great job until the other day the temps went up to 90c. The heatsink was really hot as well (no I did not touch it). I tore down the card and nothing seemed to be out of order. So, do I...

My 2 bigadvs posted and got a gift from osrk and look at all the pointses.

I had to laugh at my stats for 4/12. I had a Linux bigadv post really early in the morning and then I switched back to Windows A3 w/ GPUs.

I've been double mowed! Just got passed by Choder and Musky.

With all of this talk of multiple boxen, i7s, 100k ppds, VMs and bigadvs I thought it was time to talk about life on the other end of the spectrum. I finally got Project F going about as good as it's going to get. To recap so that nobody has to do a search for the original thread, I gutted an...

Back a while I found out my system was running way too hot. So I had to scale back a bit and regroup to see how I can get my PPD back up to speed. I went with the go big option and got me a refurb CM ATCS 840 case and after some tinkering I'm back up to full speed. Now for some obligatory...

Here's a bit of levity for your Monday morning. My oldest son wanted a new PC for Christmas since his sucked eggs. I told him that there is no way I'm going to spend over $200 since that was the budget (I'm such a mean dad). The proposal I put to him was to see if I could upgrade his current...

Here's a story about a guy losing his job for installing SETI@home at the school he used to work for. How many times has it been said to not do this.

Just as I was folding again for the [H] my PC caught the hardware swine flu so it's not folding until I can isolate the problem. I used the crash as an excuse to get a new power supply but that didn't help and am worried that the mobo has a problem. Once I get it fixed-look out! :D
