Yes. Our team number is 3446. Also be sure to get a passkey. Just search this forum, someone made a tutorial on it
I have, all 24 cores are at 100%, completed 1 run and 40% of second
Awesome! Is your folding name praetorx as well?
well i may be down for a few days, as i am re-arranging some of my systems. i'm also giving one rig away, but the person i'm giving it to will continue to fold with it in my name.
my overall production will be down a little, but i'm okay with it. the power bill is just too high right now, and it sucks when my wife tries to vacuum and breaks a circuit.

well i finally got my 3 GPUs on my main pc folding again. i reinstalled everything on a bigger hard drive (1TB), and i was having problems getting the GPUs to fold. but they are crunching away now
thanks! just trying to keep folding! I still have a couple of GPUs that are just sitting around here. not sure what i'm going to do with them
nice! how are you splitting it up for each project? (if you don't mind me asking)
that seems like a very nice machine! do you use it for anything else?
Right now I'm manually managing both, running F@H during weekends when milkyway is offline (or so appears to be since a couple of weeks).
Yes, this box is also hooked to my TV in the living room, using it to stream movies from Amazon but that's only a smokescreen to get by my wife

I'm finally back from all my travels and am getting ready to power my PS3 back up (mac pro is out of the running for now while I find a new PSU)
Though I was wondering for those of you that fold on PS3's as well does anyone have any experience between the slim and "original" I'm planning on getting a 2nd ps3 for Netflix and streaming in the bedroom that id like to use for folding as well but am curious if there are any advantages to the slim or original.
I know power consumption is less but that's a non issue for me as my non slim ps3 doesn't seem to suck down that much. I'm more wondering about durability and if a slim can run 24/7 like my original does

PS: hope everybody had a happy holidays and a good new years as well!!

glad you are back and ready to fold!
i have both versions of PS3s. my old PS3 was showing signs of breaking down, so i went ahead and got a new one. i'm currently only folding with the slim one, and i think it does just fine!
thanks for that info! i thought the new one generated less heat, and used about half the power.
my 2¢
FYI I'm running 2 Mac Pros, 2010 versions, one 8-core and one 6-core. They seem to be good for about 25 K ppd each running the latest V7 beta and no GPU of course. I just added a PC built with a 2.8 Nehalem and was a bit disappointed to see that it only gets about 11 K ppd.
Not too sure about the new beta either; on one MP I can see the viewer but not the controller; on the other I can see the controller but not the viewer. At least they keep the room warm.

I have decided to throw 3 of my old gpu's (GTX 470) back in the mix to see what they do for me these days (not in the mac pro). I doubt I will make as many ppd as I used to but with one mac pro and a the i7 and 3 gpu's we'll see what I can get.
