Another year has come and gone. Another year stands before me.
Will it be filled with promise, success, and gratification?
Or will it be filled with trials, tribulations, defeat and regret?
These things I cannot know, I should not know, I do not know.
What it will be, is a year...
I see our Captain has us entered in some Team Challenges on the Grid. Time to see how our small band of merry misfits stacks up against some of the other teams. Visit your "My Team" page for complete details and keep those boxen crunching!
Thanks Hito!
Current running challenge is WCG...
I thought I'd start a thread to keep all the WCG crunchers up to date on the most current WCG branded client as well as the latest "recommended" Boinc version. For those that want the bleeding edge, I'll keep an ongoing tab on Boinc betas as well.
This post will be updated with the latest...
Both F@H and WCG numbers on an ES Nehalem. Something to drool over and think about for future upgrades.
I thought it was interesting to see some "relevant" real world numbers that pertain to us. 5000ppd running dual SMP on 2653's and almost 7200ppd with an SMP client and GPU with a 9600GSO...
1 Million/month since August and 1.2mil for October so far... might just squeak 1.3 out for October.
While it ain't the [H]orde... you'd be hard pressed to say it ain't [H]ard!!
I gotta steal a line from King_N here...
and then massage it a bit....
Nice ramp looking at that graph...
Model: XFX PVT94PYDF4 GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card.
Link to pics & specs: Here
Whats the dealio: This card is about 6 months old and was originally bought for the wifes gaming PC. I snagged it for folding duties and it was a...
When Nvidia marketing slugs spend a bit too long at the kool-aide kooler kibitzing and planning.
Heads up for anyone not aware that Nvidia is re-packaging/re-releasing the 9600GSO with a new core and shader count. Many (including some of our newer brethren and sistren) have come to take for...
I just got in from an overnight shift and as usual checked on the farm before hitting the rack for some serious sack time. What do I find? I've got 12 completed WU sitting in my queue with "uploading" status next to them. Hmmmm.. check my logs and sure enough, it looks like not one out of 4 PCs...
Since starting up with WCG, I've gotten in the habit of checking my results status on My Grid page about once a week filtering on Result Status "error" or "invalid" as a way to monitor my clients for problems. I found one yesterday from a run of FAAH on 9/25 that resulted in an error so I...
I stumbled onto this thread at FCF and thought you ATI guys could use a bit of lovin' for a change...
So while the points differential hasn't equalized, it looks like mhouston is getting close to releasing some updates that will greatly improve CPU utilization. Nice shot for ATI multi GPU...
I don't even need a stinking calendar any more...

Majic hit 3 Million point on 08/04/2008!
We missed this special occasion, I don't know how as I don't see many major milestones fall through the cracks, but we did. While I'm sure it wasn't intentional It deserves to be....
*CELEBRATED*
Sorry dude!
Belated congratulations on a major...
I popped open FahSpy this morning to check on the boxen and saw my output up 1000ppd. Nice. Got 2 new GPU WU 5504 and 5505 that have boosted production nicely! Enjoy these while they last!
I looked at the stats page today. This was rather shocking to say the least.
We may have to make some serious room in the [H}ard|MowedOver Club if this keeps up. Their overtake is down to 1.6 years from 2.4 yesterday!
I threw the past 13 days into my stats spreadsheet and here's how much...
After poking around looking for solutions to a couple of problems I've noticed with my Multi GPU setup, I've decided to start a discussion about one of the issues I found.
It just might be that the [H]orde is leaving many hundreds if not thousands of PPD on the table due to this issue and our...
I just got home from a 13 hr shift to a HUGH shock when I checked on m' babies. There's a new core (1.08) that was/is supposed to be "forced" on Monday that I got pushed on my multi-GPU rig tonight and what a shock. Secondary GPU production is down 46+% from a benchmarked 3787PPD (1:51 - 1:52...
Just a heads up for anyone who hasn't seen it. There is a new core (1.06) released last night for the Nvidia GPU. Linky
Some users are claiming somewhat of an improvement in the lag issue, some aren't... several have noted a significant PPD drop with the new core, I saw at least one who said...
both for the new toys, and helping me kill 4 hours reading the slew of new posts in this forum today... :)
I don't think there's been this many one day new posts/threads since the Chimp Challenge. Helped me pass what would have been a boring evening.....
Not sure if anyone saw this yet or not. Vijay seems to back peddle some here.
This might have been mentioned here already, but I didn't see it.
A little FUD for the masses... :p;):D
Released yesterday... just downloaded and will be trying this out after a "snapshot" of my 2 running VM Notfred CD images and a shutdown/reboot for some more Vcore stability goodness...
Hopefully this will backup to USB properly. It looks like you can change/setup options at boot time. Forum...
Slight problem trying to get System# 3 in my sig running naked, headless and diskless with NotFreds CD.
First a little background. I recently upgraded my main Rig (Sys#1) to a Quad and the little E4300 was feeling lonely and dejected... So I picked up a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L to comfort the...
I've been running a couple of the standard console clients for several weeks now, and have been reading up on all the different options for running the SMP client (VMWare, native Windows, problems, workarounds etc.) and have a couple of questions before taking the plunge.
I'll be installing a...
Hey all!
I got interested in Folding thanks to the WU (that's Wife Unit not Work Unit) and decided to check out my favorite forum. Lo and behold I found the [H]orde. My thought was if you're gonna participate in something, might as well do it with the best 'eh? :D So I joined the team...
Card is a stock XFX version (PVT94PYDF4) 9600GT and runs well, but noticed a weird issue. During bootup, there's no video bios info like bios version, card version, vram etc.
Everything shows up normal in GPU-Z, but thought it was weird to be blank at bootup and was wondering if anyone else...
