I have an almost unnatural input device fetish where I'm always on the lookout for a new mouse and/or keyboard. I can't ever seem to get enough of them. I would love to give this mouse a spin and report back. I remember Thermalright. I used one of their thermal-engine heatsinks with a...

I'd like to be entered, please. I need to hear my games better because at the ripe old age of 42, I need all of the help I can get fighting against the whippersnappers in Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield. My reflexes aren't cutting it anymore, so maybe the positional awareness will help...

I've noticed that my PPD has dropped slightly as of late, so I was poking around a bit. I saw in HFM that I've been getting a bunch of P6701 WU's. They give more points, but appear to slow down my production somewhat. Just me?

Yes, I've complained about this before. Yes, I know we all have to go through it. Yes, I know you all know 6701 WU's suck balls. But I need to cope with this! I need to cope with watching my already-pathetic PPD drop from 5k to 300! I hope we can get these units done and never speak...

OK, wrong thread - I'm a moron. Have a nice day.

Read the first post - it's been updated.

How many times does the same thing have to happen before a person finally comes to the conclusion that it's not the rest of the world that is wrong? For myself, I think what they did was wrong. I believe in folding whatever you're queued up with. That's my (un)educated opinion.

Congratulations, Hard_Gopher! May it serve you and the [H]orde well.

*looks at Private Messages* I keep looking, but my PM count has not increased past 0. I think this here website is busted. :-) *crosses fingers*

Ah, thanks guys. I can live with it - though I'm not happy about it - so long as I know it affects us all equally. Work has to get done, I guess.

These pictures are all nerdsexy. I am completely turgid now.

Great googly-moogly! What a sexy pile of hardware! /jealous

Welcome to the fold! (sorry, couldn't resist). The people around here have taught me that every little bit helps, and no one is turned away, no matter how modest your rig - which is good because my folding machines are laughable. Your rig is interesting. I'd read about using mineral oil, but...

Just wondering if something's up with the stats servers or something. My past two updates are 138 and 123, but everything looks normal on my end. Just trying to figure out what's going on.

I'm a newcomer here, and compared to most of you I am a low output producer, but I have some observations... While I am disappointed that [H] is not #1 anymore, it doesn't really change anything. We are still collectively pumping the same CPU/GPU cycles into F@H at #2 as we did at #1. It's...

The machine is running XP Pro SP3

Folding everything I've got at home!!

You are so cute. :-D I live in the desert southwest. It gets hot and stays hot here. My electric bill is on what's called the equalizer plan, which averages out the years' bills and divides by 12. That way my bill stays the same every month instead of being huge in the summer and smaller in...

Thanks for the clarification, guys.

I was looking at my forum badge ...and I was wondering what the [H] symbol signifies. Sometimes there are 2 or 3 next to each other on the badge. Also, what do the number and the up-arrow next to it mean on the second line? Thanks.

I have another potential folding candidate machine I want to bring online for [H]. It's an older machine that I recently had to replace a video card in (it's a little-used workstation attached to a scanner that gets sporadic use). Given the following specs: P4 (single core) 3.0ghz 1GB RAM...

Let's see how he handles it.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words. I'm a bit embarrassed as I felt I was whining a little bit. I think anyone who has special needs kids at home will tell that they're not trying to be an inspiration and that they're not doing anything brave. You just "live" and "do". Sometimes you...

Yeah, I read about that in another thread. I'm probably going to keep it quiet and just do it. Our company is relatively small, and there is no one above me in IT. Also, I'm not going to deploy the SMP client to 250 workstations like the guy who go fired. I'm just running a wimpy low-impact...

I do most of my folding at work on idle hardware we had laying around. My home system is modest by the standards around here, so I usually only fold on it on weekends and overnight when I'm not using it. Right now I'm folding on several modest systems at work: 1x Core2Quad 2800 running the...

I'll respond in kind in the morning, getting ready to hit the hay now.

My pleasure. Thanks to all of you for your work, and to [H]ardOCP for the years of news and reviews.

I've been lurking in here for a few weeks now, and I am struck by how serious folders are. I have known about and participated in folding for many years now, mostly to test PC stability after overclocking. It was not until sometime in July when I started folding every day that I peeked in this...

Congratulations!

I'm running the classic client 24/7 on 4 systems right now, old machines that won't run the newer stuff anyway. I was doing it because it was all I had to work with - didn't know I was doing a "good thing".

First computer I had was an Atari 800XL in 1984. 64k RAM...256 color display...4 channel sound. IT WAS A BEAST. :-) Taught myself BASIC on that, beginning a lifelong love of computers and technology.

Testes. Testes. 1-2-3.

Thanks again guys, got it working by pointing the client at the C$ shares on the machines. Much easier to monitor the borg'd machines now.

I started toying with HFM last week at somebody's suggestion. Didn't know if there was a more elegant way to do it without shared drives or setting up some sort of FTP server. I'll figure something out. Thanks, guys.

A question for my more experienced brothers and sisters in these [H]allowed [H]alls: What is the best way to monitor several folding clients on multiple machines spread out across a LAN? I want/need to monitor several clients on my LAN, and I know there must be a way. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the warm welcome and well-wishes. I'm slowly ramping up on the meager hardware I have available to me, figuring out the best configuration for maximum points given what I have to work with. I have other hardware I want to bring online, but that may take a while. My wife is a...

I work at a small/medium company, and I'm the guy they'd ask about whether or not it was OK to fold. Still, I won't fold on production machines or mission critical hardware. I may be addicted, but I'm not irrational yet. :-)

...that folding is additive. I had folded a bit from time to time using the (didn't know at the time) wimpy default client. I even made myself part of team 33 because I enjoy HardOCP every day and thought I'd support 'em. In August, when the latest boxen contest came down the pipe, I made...
