Folding with BOINC

It's not the computers i'm hiding - it's the info about them / location / ip / etc.

Here's the list.
Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz (home) see sig
T7300 @ 2.0Ghz (work laptop) HP Compaq 6510b (never moves - sits on my desk)
E6750 @ 2.66Ghz (work desktop) HP dc7800 midtower
P4 2.66Ghz (work linux workstation) HP d530 minitower
Xeon 2.4Ghz (workstation/server) IBM Intellistation Z (might throw a 2nd CPU into it, it's slow)

So i have 10 cores crunching Rosetta all day everyday. I would think some people with their 2 faster quads would be catching me pretty quick.

Haha I was just joking about the hiding, nice list though, I might be able to catch up if i crunched 24/7 but I can't with any computer... yet. My desktop (in sig) will cruch 24/7 soon... when i get my kit for fixing my heatsink. But I can't crunch the others 24/7 so unless they get a gpu client going I wont be catching up.

I think many of our folders (like myself) are double tasking. I've got my quad running the FAH GPU client and a single standard console client on two cores, and then rosetta on the other two cores.

Same here, except I forgot to re-install BOINC after I did a HDD format...

Mine does double duty also, except I switch the SMP client out for Boinc once a week to meet the deadlines and help the team. Once my second rig gets built and Folding the quad might "Boinc" full time .

Just joined up. Got two instances of Rosetta Mini running. Whatever that is? Mostly want to make use of my two laptops that I take on the road with me every week.

I think there is just Rosetta mini and Rosetta beta, it seems to be random as to which ones you get (but you get mini much more often), but its just what Rosetta calls the Application running the Work Unit.

By the way we have our highest RAC ever: 16,038 (51st place!) and Total credit is 1,297,384 putting us in 231st place!

Almost 500,000 points in one month (805,213 on August 6th)

edit: ps. we are beating apple inc, Intel and ibm in RAC now

We cracked the top 50 in RAC today! Also I noticed we have 2 new BOINCers, welcome Mathieu and mr larry!

Good news: The GPU Grid Project since Aug 25 started to support Windows platform. The project currently only works for PS3 and NVIDIA cards.

PS3GRID

I'll try it out tonight, hopefully v6 of BOINC is just as stable as v5 client.

Gald to be part of this, and I must say I am quite surprised to be on the 9th place for RAC.

Boinc is going GPU ? I guess there is nothing yet for ATI ?

Also, Overclocking the CPU change something ? cause it seems to me that points are allocated on CPU time donated. Maybe I am wrong.
