Yeah, you've really picked up the pace, your ppd are way up compared to six months ago. And adding another rig!

Rebel Alliance is on an up swing too 🙂

@Insidious
At the rate you're going now, might be as early as August. Speaking of rate, how did you get up to 642 ppd? The slow guy huh? Everybody wants sympathy, and to look like the underdog before the bets are placed. 😉

now, now, now Gleem, don't judge me too harshly. My rate went up because an old friend with a new computer is crunching with me at the moment so, now there are 3 computers crunching on my account instead of just my 2.

I have no idea how long it is going to last but am just trying to enjoy it while it does. I am certainly NOT trying to misrepresent myself in any way. I have no dillusions of grandure and will be accepting no bets.

but I have to stop typing now because my PPD is going down... :roll: (grin)

My tip for adding machines to your "farm": Whenever I get roped into working on a friend's or family member's computer, I tell them about the beneficial purposes behind Folding@Home and that I will install it on their computer unless they object.

Edit: One thing I haven't figured out is that my main machine hasn't seemed to get big units in quite a while. When they started, I got them all the time. Due to equipment failures, I was down to 256 MB memory for a bit (got to love Crucial's excellent RMA service) but I'm back to 512 MB now on a Win 2k box, 2.3 Athlon.

lol, it looks like they (we?) all are! 🙂

don't think there is any current danger of Freewolf adding the Flordia part of the RA fleet to the mix here! They are more concerned getting the fleet back up to full speed on Seti classic in order to finish it out with a bang while trying to hang onto 2nd place at the same time which is going to be tuff. There are at least two or three other people crunching F@H under the RA name and that along with some recent additions I got lucky enough to use have helped up our production a pretty good bit. Also the help I got reconfiging the clients to accept big wu's has made a noticable improvement. Did somebody say race?

In one week I'll be adding 2 machines, one has HT. 😀

I just figured out the BIG WU's. I only had 500 yesterday (usual is 1500 for me) but today I may break 3000 in one day ! At any rate, I think my numbers will be up on average over the next week. Right now I made it to #3 average production (was number 2 for 3 hours), and when this hits, I may get back to numer 2 ! Go Team !

 

[ICXRa]

Yep that's good news!

Yup. I will break 3200 points today, and second place is mine !!!!!! (for the day)
Edit: 3273 to be exact !!!!!!

 

[MDE]

I just got my Athlon 64 up. Now to solve my overclocking troubles...

 

[Markfw]

GleeM, Thanks ! 3273 yesterday, and at 1355 today at 4am ! My average has already gone up 300/day(1500 to 1800) after only 2 days ! Lets see what happens after a week !

 

[GLeeM]

Markfw900, please keep us informed on your average.

We are anxious to see how high it goes!

Not sure of the average, but I should be over 4000 points today(at 3906 now with one update to go) and #1 (even better than gravity) for the day !!!!!!

I have completed 10% of the entire Team Anandtech score ?? !!! This is freaking unreal....

 

[GLeeM]

OK everyone the secret is out, get crunching those BigWUs!

Currently there are 24,651 BigWUs available on server .156, enough for everyone. 🙂

 

[Markfw]

Rats, I just broke 200,000 points, but my next WU is not a biggie ! This could kill my average...... Anyway, this could be a slow day, I may not do 2000 today....
