Also, I fixed my C2D... it was, disgustingly, the Crucial Ballistix memory which was the problem. I tried Corsair in it and it kept crashing but at least it would boot. I'm still not sure what's wrong with the Corsair if anything, I'll have to go look up its specs. to see if something needs changed to make it work. But I had another pair of Crucial Ballistix because until now I thought they were good so I bought them a few months ago when there was a good deal after $30 MIR, and the CPU's running at 3 GHz. Not quite as fast as I had it before, and I have the RAM running at slower than stock speed (effective 750 MHz instead of 800) and 2.1v as specified.
I need to find a good brand of memory to use, since Crucial may have turned to crap. Maybe Mushkin... I used to buy them a lot.
And oh yeah, finally, I'm at 2222222 points right now for another hour or so. Not really something to brag about, but it's a coincidence.

I get almost half of my output from my 8800GT w/256 MB. Everyone on TR should have got one when I did, with the $30 MIR. You can get a faster one with 512 MB for $110 at Buy.com today. Of course, now we may have to be concerned about the GPU croaking, but hopefully people won't OC them too much. I have a separate fan blowing on mine to keep it cool, though.

I agree it's kinda lame the PPD numbers TR overall is putting out. I guess there just isn't a lot of folding love at TR anymore. If people were dedicating the same kind resources today as were dedicated a couple of years ago I'd think our PPD would be much higher. That's given that there are much higher PPD clients available today than back then. Of course, I really have no idea of what I speak... I'm just guessin...

Big news before SMP and GPU2. Not all that relevant now
Ragnar Dan wrote:My weakling Barton 2600+ running at... I forget, something over 2000 MHz, on Win2k, with a single core client, is generally producing ~250 PPD or so. Sometimes more depending on the WU. So every bit helps. I expect to retire that machine soon, but for the time being it's still running and eating power.

1 steps backwards, 2 steps forward. Just working on some technical kinks. Damn 9800GX2's run super hot and squeal like piggies.

Hey JPinTO would you mind unchecking the "Disable BBCode" option?
Is JPinTO_Test your other self? It's making the top 20 producers too!

HardOCP has 46% of their folders at 800+ PPD and above. Alliance Francophone has 17% of their folders above 800 PPD. We have 60% of our folders above 800 PPD.
