You bastard. I hate you. Good work.

campy6 · 22-November-03, 01:27 AM

woo hoo!!

I finally got my first WU
sure took long enough

Lokie · 22-November-03, 01:51 AM

campy6 , you do good !! Thank you !!

godfoot · 22-November-03, 04:52 AM

finally got my home rig folding now that I have broadband here. I was never really home enough to have my computer on much before but now.... a different story. Put me down for 3 rigs now:
1 760MHz Intel, 1 dual 800Mhz Intel server, and my Athlon 600Mhz rig. Schwiiiiing!!!

aaronrkelly · 22-November-03, 05:22 AM

I am eyeballing a new PC - I have broadband and 2 PCs at the moment. Intel 2.4 GHz desktop that stays on folding 24/7 (started about 3 days ago) and a Intel 2.0 GHz mobile laptop (cant fold, isnt on enough).

I would like to add a third PC. Need just enough to get email, browse the web and fold. What is everyones opinion on the slowest proc that is worthwhile to fold on. The other things I want to do arent to intensive and Im looking at picking up a AMD 550 MHz or similar and basically using it as a NET appliance but I would like to fold with it......

Jonny English · 22-November-03, 08:36 AM

I just finished my 1st WU -only took 8 days too - ph34r the power of my 800 Duron!

My score of 71 puts me firmly into 180th place !

The only way is up - next WU will be finished in about 10 days - I'll soon catch up with podium at this rate

Personally Aaron I am a firm believer that any folding is worth while. however I will say it really all depends on the machine its self - I have a few P1's folding in the computer lab I work in and it normally takes them about a 2 weeks to do 1 WU.

And I would like to say THX for F@H to godfoot, Aaronrkelly, and Jonny English!

EstwingMan · 22-November-03, 12:51 PM

well, my 2.53 p4 is going to fold its 4th WU today. but my 633mhz pc WU must have expired cause it started over and my 333mhz is only at 133/400 since 9 days ago. so yea, some pc's do take longer . slick2145 nailed it. and sure its cool to see your rank go up, but every cpu cycle helps in the grand scheme of things.

I have been folding for a while actually, just not on my home computer, but thanks though.

On a happy note, I just moved up several spots to one of my favorite numbers.......69!

Thanks! Just keep pluggin' away and you'll get there.... I think it's about time I pay all of my relatives a visit and annex their computers!

Great idea - I go home next weekend to visit for a couple of days - I'll have to make sure that it mysteriously appears on all of the machines there!!

EstwingMan · 23-November-03, 01:53 AM

ive tried the mystery thing myself. the problem is that you have to convince them to keep the pc running 24/7. lots of people dont care if it doesnt affect them. they just dont understand.

Ahh, but I already unwittingly cleared that path when I set up most of their systems.... They all leave their machines on because I scheduled all the usual maintanence to run late... you know, defragging, virus scanning, etc.

Unfortunately most of them would require some upgrading to finish a WU before it expires...

EDIT: hate them typos

SexyPants · 23-November-03, 03:41 AM

Man, it just so happens that the people who choose to talk are my closest rivals. You suckers are in for a fight

godfoot · 23-November-03, 04:38 AM

Yeah, and I just noticed today that you took my 69 spot from me......d@mn you! j/k
If only I could convince my managers at work to leave the computers on over the weekend I could get in 1-3 extra WUs a week.

SexyPants · 23-November-03, 12:08 PM

Unfortunately for me, I'm going out of town for Thanksgiving and the computers are being shut off, so there's your chance. I'll find my way to get back though...
