We got bumped now at #102.
Apparently that is a very volatile list. Awachs is now 23rd. He must have 1 hell of server farm running.

awachs is listed at having 55 clients in the last 7 days and 92 in the last 50 days. And he is the #3 user on F@H home site!
Blew up an El Cheapo brand powersupply on one of the machines. Got it back running, but lost about 7k points. Note: While a 400w Chinese powersupply might actually put out 400w, it won't do it for long.
Turning on some a couple more machines again, and now I'm going to start overclocking stuff.:lildevil:

wow...
Got spastic WU's for the bigadv machines, and one of the GPU machines won't overclock without freaking out.
Well, guess it's time to roll up sleeves, grab hammer, and work these bitches. :lildevil:

If i add the advanced tag, will I get more ppd? im running 3 smp clients, and they do about 2-3k ppd each with big WU, but i didnt do advanced methods, should i stop them and add the tag? Will it help, or would it just slow them down?
AFAIK, adding the -advmethods flag on SMP doesn't change anything. All SMP's are advanced method. But things change, and I really don't know for sure.
Then i guess im maxed out now. I would add a few old machines but my one machine does 90ppd. Not really worth it to start up a machine for that little, all the ones that run anyway are running flat out. Ill be gettign a new desktop after the new year and moving mine to another position so ill have 4 quads running and maybe a gpu. Wolnt be for a while yet.
No, im not as dumb as I look, close, but not quite. I have 3 quad core machines running and 2 old single cores.
Hopefully I can get the work machine up and running after the new year. It should be a whoop ass machine since it has 8 Xeon 5520 (?) cores. No GPU, but the 8 cores should make for some good folding.
I think it is time to build a new machine for the house. The 3 towers I have running now are all P4 machines.
New machine is going to be a i7. I know AMD's are cheaper, but I have had good luck intel's. Any advantage to running an AMD?
Rob, how many nVidia cards can you run on a Windows machine?
I see that the GPU only runs on Windows machines. Anybody heard anything on a Linux version of the GPU client???

You can run GPU clients under Linux 64 with a little work using WINE.
I haven't done it yet.
AMD yields the most HP for under $500.
Intel is best when money isn't important.

WOW~! We are #90 out of 190,000+ teams on average points per day:

The only limitation should be the motherboard with its number of PCIe slots. The board I have I can in theory run 6 cards (using extender ribbons) but I have had trouble keeping 3 cards running at full tilt. Not sure if its motherboard, driver, video card or user setup. Of the 3 cards I'm running it seems like 1 always wants to drop down in speed and during re-boots I've had trouble with cards being recognized.
I have been thinking about getting an Classified SR-2 motherboard for folding and using my current board for a machine I need for editing HD video. Just hard to pay over $600 for a mobo and then buy 2 CPUs for it. :rofl:
From my reading, they often do the reverse. They have Linux as the base O/S, then spawn Windows virtual machines to donate to F@H.
At one point, Linux was the favored O/S by the F@H crew, then in the last year, the support was broke. It can be made to work, but it's no longer easy.
If you want to fold with Linux, you are best off starting with a 64-bit, non-Ubuntu version. My problem is my Linux machines are 32-bit Ubuntu, which is the easiest, and perhaps the most stable Linux version with a GUI. It's more "Windows" than Windows is. If you can use Win, you can run Ubuntu. Besides it being free, and no Genuine Windows Advantage (Microsoft's spy-on-your-customer malware), and loading faster with fewer special drivers, it comes with most the software you need for a typical desktop built-in.
That being said, I only have 3 computers running Linux, and none of them are folding.
