Projects for an 8800GTS?

PrimeGrid still officially supports the 8800. It's good for around 25,000 ppd which would be a nice boost for the TeAm, since some people here are giving PrimeGrid a rest for a little while after the contest earlier this month.

What is everybody crunching lately? And which is a better GPU for such, AMD or NV?

I got a GTX650 myself a few weeks ago on clearance sale at the local computer store and have been using it on PrimeGrid for the TeAm, it's easily over 100Kppd most days. In fact, I just got an exciting E-mail from PrimeGrid yesterday, over the weekend my card found what was (at the time)...

OK!.........All you OLD DC FARTS! Time to come out of hidding.

As it has only been 9 years since I began crunching for the TeAm I am not sure that qualifies me as an "old fart"... however I have definitely been in hiding the last few years, I am still way under 1000 posts on these forums. I do have as many computers as ever crunching away, currently 7...

Post the milestones here!

Thanks for the congrats wayliff, also I hit 20 million combined BOINC the other day. Distributed computing home-heating season is in full swing here so I should be chucking out 100K+ ppd on combined BOINC for the TeAm for a couple months at least :cool:

Surprise! PrimeGrid "GFN Short" challenge Jan 4-17 w/ nVidia GPUs

Thanks! Glad that my fussy old Linux box was able to cough up a couple of these WUs at the precise time the TeAm needed them :)

Surprise! PrimeGrid "GFN Short" challenge Jan 4-17 w/ nVidia GPUs

I'm also late to the game but better late than never.... haven't run PrimeGrid in many years but this seems like the perfect time to get back on board! Looks like we are in a tight race so even my creaky old GTX 260 is bound to help some.

The end of F@H on PS3

Well I did get my 4 million, on the last WU before Sony forced its F@H-deleting update onto my PS3 :) For the record, I ran F@H on my PS3 for almost two years non-stop. Around 1,900 WUs total for just under half a million points. Not too shabby all things considered. Sure PCs are much...

The end of F@H on PS3

Hello TeAm, It's been a while since I posted here but I have have continued to crunch for the TeAm all these years. I know many of you have moved on to more productive crunching rigs but I found with some sadness the announcement that Sony will be discontinuing support for F@H on the PS3 any...

Folding @ Home on PS3 vs PC?

My PS3 is currently averaging around 1200 PPD. Only other hardware I have running F@H is a 2 year old OC'ed GTX260 and it's actually getting me about 7500 PPD... So I would say a single GTX460 would have to be at least 6 times as good as a PS3 if not better!

Milkyway@Home double credit bonus for next 48 hours!!!

What a coincidence... I shut down my MW@H box 30 minutes ago due to the heat wave... gonna hit triple digits here tomorrow and my home A/C is really huffing hard... Was wondering how I was getting six figures today from my 2 year old Radeon 4770... :) Anyway I'll be back once temps drop...

What may be wrong?

Hi Peter - What make/model motherboard? All other things aside I suspect this could be the infamous "140W Phenom II in a 95W motherboard" issue... some motherboards are known for falsely claiming they can support 140W Phenom IIs when they are really only built to the 95W specification. The...

fun suggestions for linux newb?

Well, since you're in Canada I assume you like to heat your living quarters in winter, why not have this spare laptop help with that and benefit a good cause at the same time? Over in the Distributed Computing Forum you can find lots of good uses for those spare CPU cycles, my favorite is...

5th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race thread.

After a VERY long time away from F@H (and the DC TeAm in general) the time has come to ramp back up. Not sure how many of you remember me... except maybe Petrusbroder who I had lunch with in Stockholm some years back :) Looks like I am able to pull down 4,000 PPD on F@H the last 3 days, I may...

Who's got an old AMD X2/AMD 64 rig as their main computer?

Depends on what you mean by "main" computer... my main desktop is an X2 5000+ BE @3.15 GHz with a pair of GeForce 9600s... but I've finally ended my Intel boycott by getting a Penryn-based gaming laptop with a GeForce 8600 inside. Honestly I can't tell that much of a difference. I still use my...

Overclocking my Athlon x2 5000+ BE

To get to 3.2 GHz, try tweaking the bus a little. I'm running my 5000+ BE at a 15x multi and 210 MHz HTT bus, which works out to 3.15 GHz. I've only bumped the volts up to 1.4. It's been running stable like this since the day I got it in April. Temps are 37C idle, 58C under load. I've...
