Joined up Not a bad site either. I'll be sure to check it regularly.

Welcome to life folding on older hardware cclanr :) haha I've got the standard CPU console client running on my old's PC and it's lucky to make 1,000 PPW (points per week).. whereas i also run 2 PS3s which make 1,000 PPD (points per day) each! so a whole week of folding points wise on my computer is...

dammit! i wanna i7 system so bad! lol

I'd like to see a more involved Statistics system with username logins and team logins etc. so some of this sorta stuff can be eventually done. I know it's picky, but i hate 'unclean' team lists, where there is heaps of useless typo'd usernames etc. .. just looks crap. This would then let users add ...

I think the main issue on the Mac side is that people are just not buying the Mac Pro desktops we need for folding anymore, they buy laptops and iPhones. And I doubt the iPhone will be a great 24/7 folding platform any time soon ;) No reason why people can't and don't fold on MacBooks.. i know i do...

call me dumb.. but can't these sorta work units be 'cut down to size' ? Like i would think it'd be better to have work units that take less than a day to process continually being returned rather than large work units which only increase the chance of it not being returned (errors during processing....

There will likely be CUDA and CAL for OSX, so we'll use those. My plan is to get the Windows versions running well before thinking about Linux & OSX. That's understandable because thats where the majority of folders are, but i think Snow Leopard's new set of technologies could really spur on a ...

pretty cool stuff... i wonder if this bloke runs Folding@Home on the PS3s when they're not working on the algorithm jig?

The PS3 uses 350W, if used all night to process the Folding@home, at 8 hours a night, the pS3 would require 1,022W a year which would cause over 1tonne of CO2 to enter the atmosphere and cost each user $185 (AUD) per year. If you've read the user agreement, you'll notice that you won't even be reco...

ohhh this is good news mdk777... seems like this could be a real goer for AMD/ATI & Folding@Home

Of course

Checkout the OS Stats .. there's been a jump in the power ATI cards are pushing out.. anything ATI-specific happen lately?

Could it possible to say talk with makers of Ubuntu or something so that Folding@Home is packaged in?

I'll be investing in GPU folding technology when power usage comes down by a fair bit. I know that running my 2 PS3s at the moment at about ~125W each isn't really good PpDpW.. but its the total wattage i'm really worried about. I wouldn't like to have a 24/7 computer drawing any more than 300W.

A mate is gunna help me try and extract my team/personal stats daily and export to an excel document automatically for me.. but i don't think he's looked into how it could be done.. so if the XML thingo could help, i'd be very much interested in finding this info out as well.
