I can't complain too much since the GPU windows client running on WINE is very stable and only uses 3% overall CPU on a quad(~10%. of one core) and doesn't slow down the graphics at all.

Cheers all!!:beer:

Whew! I don't think I am going to be able to hold 3rd very long as it is! :roll:

I've been having great luck with the GPU client too. I had a few issues to deal with, but for the most part, it just required "getting over ones self" and realizing that just because a GPU won't smoke when it gets above 75C... that doesn't mean it will fold properly either. Same held true for the OC. (As with every other F@H client), just because the machine can do 3DMark or some other benchmark, doesn't mean it is ready to fold. :p

See ya in the movies! :beer: : Popcorn;

Wow, and thanks for the stats, biodoc.

You did them almost exactly the way I have done them, but you posted them earlier. So i did some more stats somewhat later ... ;)

Still pretty close though it looks like I've pulled away from you slightly recently;).

And sooo close to H Andrew too!, can I pip him at the finish line?;)

Thanks Petrus :).
If so, it's due to the fact that the MOBO I got for my new quad was DOA :|

Oh well, it was still a great race :beer:
Gutted :(, I don't like to win due to a rig death!
****************************************

Congrats to all & thanks for a great race :D:beer:.

I shall be switching my quad back to DPAD when it's current WU is finished, but for now I shall keep my GPU folding :).

Nice work Peter and biodoc on the stats! :thumbsup: Thanks Peter for the Final stat info. Fantastic numbers! :thumbsup:

It was a fun month watching this race as it unfolded. Learned many things and was great to see so many adding thier informational input towards helping our teamates. I will be cutting back a bit to do some upgrades and clean-ups. After that I will be adding more PPD! :D Great job everyone and I will be looking forward on our next race. Until then, keep folding everyone and a Happy new year to all! :)

Just to let you all know:

I will - if i am alive and well enough - set up the 4th Annual Holiday Season Folding@Home race coming November.
The rules will be very similar - or the same.
There is one adddition though: which crunchers will have completed five races? When I come back home, I'll look up my stats-spread sheets and post all the folders who have taken part in all the three races ...

:D :wine: :beer: :cookie: :thumbsup:

Well, if I had been in the race (my computer died a few days before the race), I would've added about 200,000 points to the folders, and now, with new computers, I could've added about 500,000 to the folders. Oh well. Next Year, THE FOLDERS WILL BRING IT AGAIN (now with PCTC2's help as paulnt04)

Also, great job guys. :beer: to everyone.
