Yes, I was a Nuclear Electrician on two subs, the Seawolf (SSN 575) and the Greyling (SSN 646).

Assuming maybe you get a work unit out of me now and then.

Once we reach May 24th, I hope you decide you like hanging out with us. You could be part of the cool crowd that gets to trash talk with Leor in the upcoming battle.

OK I missed this action. Should I move over my PCs back to UGN. If so, welcome to the collective, Pikaporean=) It's good to have the extra help
There are many dark forces on team 2630 which the mighty UGN battles on a daily basis

Why is it that the windows SMP client runs 5 degrees cooler than running two VMwares?

I would think the VMwares would run cooler since overall utilization is a little lower than when the SMP client runs in Windows. Was your house the same temperature when you compared readings? Maybe ambient temp is affecting result?

My house has been getting up to about 78 to 80F during the day. This was not helping my poor over OC'd Q6600 during the folding ramp-up this week. I was getting mid 60s temps, even saw 70 a time or two
Amazingly it was stable the whole time. No crashes at all folding 24/7. I have saved the BIOS settings as I don't think I'd ever be able to get them tweaked as perfect again. I wish I could say it was skillz that got my system stable at 3.6, but I know it was more luck than anything

I have been a long time reader of TR and have been facinated by the entire distributed computing effort and UGN's participation in this effort since I first read about it. I finally decided to get off the bench and take part (rather late than never I suppose), so about a week ago I decided to have a look at the fah GPU2 client to see just how productive a GPU could be and what impact running the GPU2 client would have on the rest of my pc usage. Surprisingly it has had very little effect at all to normal pc usage and my 8800GT has been contributing about 3500ppd to the UGN effort for the last week. My pc is online virtually 24/7 I will leave it folding in UGN's name. I will hopefully be adding my server, once it has been rebuilt, to the effort in the near future
