TRFrankenbot should be up an stomping about-- no?
Where is the good doctor to throw the third switch? err... ahh... Well, the first switch would be good at this time.

Well, some people switch over for the entire month, some just for the week of Halloween, and some just for a few days. All contributions are appreciated.
I agree with FF about making this the official thread. How about, "TRFrankenbot on life support? NO! Let's make him scary for 2009!"

Including you Mr. Pinto Bean who didn't switch over last year. Shame on you.

Pinto Bean is going to catch us unless we can pull some magic points beans out of our collective butts. Which I don't think will happen. Switch over now and let's see how scary we can make Franky!! jeffry55 wrote:Switched my PC to TRFrankenbot at 9:31 p.m. PST.
Come on Pinto Bean! Join the fun!! Switch yours too!!!
It really isn't scary, it's okay little fella.

I've been meaning to cobble together another dual-core Linux testbed system from spare parts. I'll put it under TRFrankenbot for burn-in!

The old GPU1 client is gone. The newer GPU2 client works on both Nvidia and AMD GPUs, although Nvidia GPUs give you a bit more points. There are ways to tweak the AMD client to perform better, but it is still behind the Nvidia ones. GPU2 clients in general still give you a lot more points than the CPU folding clients.
Good luck and welcome to the Fold!

Thanks JBI. For the past few days I've been busier than a cat covering up his business on a tile floor. Luckily, I've been a bit more successful than the cat.
And I've switched my three UGN single core clients over to TRFrankenbot. Between the three of them they have nearly ten 336 point WUs waiting for the server to come back online. My local farmpuma array will also switch over to Frankie for the week of Halloween, unless I cave sooner.
