As long as you keep contributing on a daily basis, that's all that matters. We asked people to go all-out this week. After that, you can give your computer or computers a little breather.:)

Many of the new members are making small contributions each day. But when you add up all those small contributions, they represent millions of points.

I plan to do this full time now.
Folding@Home was good to me, but I was tired of all the problems with the multiple GPU clients on my 4870x2 and the SMP client, plus I tore apart that rig and it still isn't done yet.
I may go back, because it's still pretty cool, but, this gets my CPU time now :D

For me, when i get every rig planned this summer, you might also see my name at gpu grid. GOal for the end of summer is 10k boinc wcg ppd and 10k gpugrid boinc ppd. And if i can get to 20k rac by the end of summer that would be perfect.

Well I have my WHS running WCG 24/7 now, I just need to figure out the % of CPU time to dedicate to this so it doesn't hinder streaming at the same time. I haven't figured out a way to get WCG to scale back when streaming and when I am not move to 100%. If anyone has any ideas feel free to PM me or post here.
Thanks.

I must say I am glad that I have joined the team recently, after Movieman's call to arms. I used to crunch SETI@home like 10 years ago and I remember it used to be like real addiction to me. I sense that's comming back, but at least this time it's for the good cause. Anyway I like the idea of never having enough computing power, as it can always be assigned to crunch WCG, while giving excellent excuse for often hardware upgrades. Go team!

Those that stay are a special breed, ones committed ( and in Dave's case, should be :sofa: ) to bettering this planet by ridding it of diseases that have ravaged so many.

We appreciate any and all participation and a big thanks to those that have helped in our journey. Some can not afford to remain hard core crunchers and some just get bored, time will tell. But every work unit returned just might be today's Rosetta Stone tablet.

From XSWCG... Thank You! :clap: :clap:

Some bad news for me; the summer in New England is rolling in and my dorm's getting warmer. No A/C either. :( It's been in the lower-80's inside.

It's beautiful outside, however.

I've spent most of my past summers in houses without air conditioning. I would have preferred to have A/C. While I may not be dying, I'm not so sure about my HD3850; it's at 90+C daily; under AC MX-2 paste.

I jumped at the chance to take part in this challenge when I got the email. I've put my Core2Quad Q9550 to work and I've borrowed a Xeon X3430 server from work to crunch with too! I'm actually quite curious to see which one produces the most points per day (although the Q9550 has the advantage of running the 64 bit version) :up:

Once a work unit is completed, the servers often don't take it in right away. Although BOINC is always connected to the servers (unless you specify otherwise), the line opens up only at certain times during the day.

only 28 more WU's to do on my i7-920 machine and then i can shut
her down and fire up my brand new i7-870 rig and play with it until
my new HD5870 gets here(tuesday).it been so hard letting this new
i7-870 rig just sit here during the crunch week.but now as soon as
the WU's are finished(so they get done in time)i can fire up my new
rig and install boinc and crunch and play with the i7-870,and when
the 5870 arrives ill put the 3450 in the 920 setup and let it crunch
away while i OC the sh#t out of my new i7-870 using my sweet g.skill
2200 cl7's.going to be so fun:up::up:

this is what my new setup consist's of......

Intel Core i7-870 - Quad-Core @ 2.93GHz
Gigabyte P55A-UD7
8GB Corsair DOMINATOR DDR3-1600 CL8 6GB's of this will go into the 920 setup
Gigabyte Radeon HD 5870 1GB
Corsair P128 Solid-State Drive
WD 2TB Caviar Black
Corsair 850HX
Corsair Obsidian Series 800D
Corsair H50 Liquid CPU Cooler i'll throw this on the 920 and use my WCing loop on the 870 setup
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64
ASUS Xonar D1
ASUS LED 23.8" MS238H

oh, i cant wait til the 5870 gets here:D
by the way does anyone know how SSD's and OCing mix?
are they more prone to OS corruption than regular HD's?

wow that's one fancy cruncher!

OC'ing has no more ill effect on SSD that it would for a HD. however, if you're going to be crunching on a SSD, make sure you set your "checkpoint to disk" to some high number, like 1000sec or something. constantly writing little bits of data like this can be a little hard on the ssd controller.

you're welcome :up:

ssd's are much more valuable than HD's and since you have a WD 2tb black in there, i would put the data directory on the storage drive. HD/SSD performance has no affect on crunching, and some people killed their SSD's from crunching. i had this question myself about a month ago, here's that thread:
