w00tz! We've passed 4,000! :D
EDIT:
Also, I got my backup system up and running, contributing ~5,200 ppd per GTS250, and ..~200 ppd from the CPU... ...yeah... Oh well, 200 is 200, and all that system is doing is folding, so it should put out a solid ~10,600 ppd. :D
so, interestingly... i looked, and if we keep up our 25k+ rate, we could hit pretty high, alot of the higher teams don't have the points rate we have...
Yeah, that's one thing I've been noticing is that a lot of the teams we're blowing past look like they used to be active (or they wouldn't have as many points as they do), but are stagnating if not completely stopped, going off their average 24-hour rate. Looking at the stats, I don't think we'll see any real competition until we get well past the 1,000. Even there, the concentration of really active teams is fairly low. ..that being said, it will probably take us a little while to get there, simply because of the sheer number of points that teams at that level have. Even if the EOC estimate is right (which it definitely won't be if we keep getting more power at this rate :twisted: ), it'll probably take us a few months to get to that point (current team 1,000 has 5,479,363 points atm, vs our current 735,381).
hmm if we get 50 people to at least do 8000 ppd we can catch up in about 15 days :P
I joined in, folding nice and slowly on my laptop! lol intel t6500 ftw!!
gonna throw my x2 4200 - 4870 in the mix. (maybe someday I will have my i7-960 running, and when not playing games I'll have it folding)
on a side note, would my 8600gts 512mb fare better than my 4870 1gb? nvidia seems to be much better at folding... (my limited HP mATX mobo only has one pci-express slot lol)
You should see between 3 and 4k from the 4870 - the 8600 looks like it'd be under 2k but might be worth trying
i have my gtx 460 folding
man... my 4870 is killing my x2 athlon... lol. getting about 2,500 ppd on it so far... the stupid thing is cooking though, running around 90c so I throttled it to only using 80% of the gpu.
EDIT: my lappy is kicking out about 1400ppd too, not too shabby, better than I expected!
I have to give my 4870 some cooling kudos - it's sitting in the mid-60's temp wise, having been running folding 24/7 for over a week - and the fans are below 60% too.

lol...sometimes I forget what air temps are like...I was upset that one of my 260's was hitting 54C. :P ...forgot to replace the quicky-generic-thermal-paste job with AS5 before reassembling...otherwise it would be in the mid 40's.
