agreed, even though I like being ahead :p: I wanted to stay ahead by my production going up, not his going down and my production hasn't looked as good recently either :(Quote:

Well, I've completed Career Mode of NFS:Carbon!!! So this shouldn't slow prod down so much now ;)
The keyboard connected to Server had a drink of beer yesterday and I couldn't be bothered fixing it properly, so it doesn't work now. But I notice F@H still runs while Windows sits waiting for login. I'll leave that sleeping dog lie for the moment.
HTPC really needs its scheduled mods to increase air-flow and reduce noise as its filters are starting to clog and temps are getting higher. I don't think it is healthy for my D805 to run at 63c 24/7!!!
I cut OC back on Main too, because it has been less stable lately, but I think this is something else not related to OC settings. i.e., NFS Carbon is not particularly stable, crashing to desktop every so often. I didn't have autosave on at one point and lost a whole district takeover session. Ugh. :|
I've nearly got a 7 card straight in 99x's now. I'm missing 994 from 991-7!!! I also got a couple of 3300's which I've never seen before. It doesn't give a PPD or proj. details in FahMon benchmarks :confused:
On a totally different note, do you guys want to check out some of the more recent pics of my mods to Main? I thought one of my 'buddies' would have said 'ooh, how nice, GAM', but I fear you either missed the updates or you don't think much of it. I'm believing you missed 'em. ;) Look here
btw, I got a 153 coming soon, then nothing for 24hrs, then 1,872 between 24-48hrs away!!! (1809, 2124/5's and a 1862)
Where are all the 600 pointers gone? I was loving the run I had before. Really miss 'em now :(
My PPD's dropping through the floor!
Also, I guess everyone is having a bit of break now that we've reached 100. :rolleyes:
@GAM, in FahMon if you go to "Fahmon > Download new projects" in the menu bar it should download the new info about the project 3300. I had to do that a few times when I've had "unknown" projects come through. Just checked stanford's site about it, it is the highest numbered (therefore latest I assume?) project in the list so I'm guessing it is most likely worth a good amount but I'm not sure.
We also don't need people taking a break, we gotta beat TPR to 10.5M!
My production has taken a hard hit as my x1900GT has some hardware-related issues and needs to go in for RMA ASAP, though i do have more CPUs crunching, my main rig got slammed with 2 4-day WUs for a meagre 350 points each... ouch :(
Well hopefully you can get back up and running again soon :)
I keep getting those amber cores every so often. That and those 2124, 2125, and 2128 WU's. Fold1 got a 1892 - 535 points - but it is my slowest system (figures :rolleyes:) Downloaded early yesterday morning just after midnight and it is estimating 13 days left....
13 days? :cry:
I know, bad isn't it? The 750MHz slot 1 P3 in Fold1 isn't worth a whole lot... but it does help my PPD by a couple points here and there...Quote:

My P3 1Ghz got one of those & it took at least a week before it turned up on the stats :rofl: Folding on P3's is a game of endurance...
I think I may have found a little tweak (thanks to BugsBMD). If you go to system properties > Advanced Tab and performance, there is an advanced tab there I believe where you can set how windows allocates CPU cycles, to better performance in apps (default, which is what you normally want) or background services (which is what the FAH client is). For a dedicated folding machine set it to background services.
So right now all my dedicated folding computers have priority set to low instead of idle and the CPU allocated to background services. Not sure if it helped any but no harm in trying :)
Also ever since I moved fold3 to my new case I put it in it hasn't crashed... It has been 5 days now without crashes which is abnormal for it. Not complaining but I just wonder how a case would cause that?
you know I just realized, we lost Akijikan. Where'd he go?
Yeah there's a few that have gone AWOL fairly recently, greenwar, Akijikan, & where'd hoax go too; he seemed like a friendly chap & quite up for folding. Come back guys.. we need you :D Maybe there was a something shorting in that old case Sparky, had some weird issues when I mounted a mobo standoff in the wrong place a long while back :shrug: Fingers crossed it'll be alright.
Hoax is gone too? darn.
What pains me also is to see some active members here with F@H stat sigs that are just gray. Its like why did you stop? And why do you still have your stats sig if you aren't folding anyway? :confused:
Oh and I just found out apparently Fold3 has been crashing.... it just did :( But unlike previously it has restarted itself every time, which while it is annoying that it crashes at least it reboots and continues now.
Darn, fold3 hardlocked last night :( Back to the old games..... :bsod:
I'm going to be gone this weekend so I don't expect much to happen until Monday. I'll probably have 483 points in today and that'll be it for the weekend unless one of the two systems back home finish a WU.
well i have joined the fight :)
Welcome Tattered :wave: What have you got folding for XS? If you got any questions give us a shout :toast:
:welcome: Tattered!
@Sparky, I've started levelling out a little more now but my PPD is still struggling with all these obscure projects. Hopefully my average will pick up again soon and I can start to seriously hound you again.
@Rmc, what has happened to you mate? No folding for a week!?!?!
Yeah I noticed you're coming back... now supposedly around 30 days before you overtake me. While I did enjoy staying ahead for a while longer ;) I'm glad to see you are getting back in the right direction.Quote:

I finally got pics of my triple case that holds fold2, fold3, and fold4. Here
Thought some of you might want to see that :)
:hehe: Good work on the cardboard bladecenter Sparky :toast: I tried a similar thing with a large plastic container a while back, needless to say it only lead to a pile of broken plastic & me needing a stiff drink :toast2:
(I would post in that thread but the last guy's attachments are stalling stupid IE7 and the page isn't loading :slap: )
Just passing thru........lil 153 pointer in the post.
"Rebel Without A Carrot" is visiting :D ......Which only actually consists of one part time rig at the moment.(VAIOMAN).
This be a test run....or something :)
Quiet in the folding section it seems.
Come on guys, step it up :D
Yeah it gets kinda quiet in here every so often.
I was looking more at the charts today and noticed that angra's output is going down as was expected since he said he has to dial back for a bit, but as angra's output goes so does the XS total output. I think that we need to work on not being as dependent one him as we are right now. No offense to angra at all, I just think it would be good if we weren't so dependent on one person :)
Just a thought....
Oh and by the way, I did a really low bid on ebay for a mobo and I won. Bad me :slapass: money is really too tight for that since school just screwed all my finances up but at least that'll make an AMD thunderbird 1.13GHz folding :)
:toast: Cheers Vaioman! Output is looking pretty tidy in the last 24hrs, well played getting that board on the cheap Sparky mate. I lost a p3 1.0ghz rig this weekend, its gone off to serve a 4mb SDSL line as a smoothwall; there's worse fate's for an old rig I suppose, and it kept picking up massive WU & dissappearing off the radar for weeks at a time anyway lol.
