    Hello JackOfAll

    Just wanted to say hi and welcome.

    Also a caution, moving thru the ranks so fast can cause a nose bleed!

    Dunno what hardware ya got but nice numbers!

    yes,

    And warn a guy next time... If I weren't so quick i'd have tire tracks all over my back...

    Should someone tell Jcool and OC to pull into the left lane? At that speed he might pass them before they look in their mirrors again.

    Those are some HUGE numbers buddy. Thanks for helping the team. Stoneageman ain't gonna be happy and watch out for Goosey too.

    A thread about lil' old me.... I've been noticed already. I just posted a thread in the WCG forum, Introduction.

    Yes, I currently have 6x GTX295's (12 GPU's) crunching away on GPUGRID. I'll be adding another 4x GTX295's, hopefully tomorrow and I'm waiting for an RMA which will add another to the total. I don't know whether this will win me any new friends or not. Probably not on the leaderboard.

    HAHA! That's amazing... So that's 11 295s? And you didn't think you'd get noticed?!?!

    BTW, what in the world do you use 11 295's for? Just curious if there is a real reason or just because...

    And it's quite easy to make friends here...

    I figured it might take a week or so to get noticed. 2 machines for 2 days, and I get noticed!

    It's just because, I suppose. They were dedicated folding machines, now dedicated to boinc. No other purpose other than to give me a shock every time the electricity bill drops through the letterbox and the feel-good factor from donating to a good cause.

    With a circa 360k ppd contribution from all those 295's you better believe you're going to get noticed!!

    I think there may be a new #1 on the front page of Grid before long and I guess I'm not the only one to realise what that will do for the team total ppd here

    I'm jealous, impressed, but most of all happy to see you and your supermachines here.

    Oh, and I guess a welcome is in order too

    (Those machines are far too neat for crunchers.......Where is the cardboard??)

    Well, when you pass me in 2 days while i'm tryin to get in the top 20, i notice.

    And those machines are just impressive... Who knew you could top GPUGrid with only 2 computers...?

    Haha, I just realized as I looked through your specs, even if I somehow managed to get my hands on 'brother' I might not be able to run it. It could blow my dorms circuit breaker without even trying. :ROFL:

    I'm using Fedora 11. New open source? I'm not sure what you mean. It's all open source isn't it?

    Those two machines have to be on separate circuits. The pair of them on a single circuit do trip the breaker.

    I'm married! (But probably not for much longer if my electricity bill keeps increasing at the rate it has been doing!) AMD might not be the fastest, but I figure that by not supporting them Intel might be the only game left in town and we sure don't want that to happen!

    Thanks for all the comments.

    Dear Jackofall,

    I LOVE the setup, but it makes me want to spend all my money. Please stop posting pictures.

    Thank you,

    P.S. Welcome.

    Welcome to the Team Jack . I noticed you a few days ago, but didn't bother to say anything. Thought you may be like stoneageman. He is producing like crazy as well, but I do not think he has showed up to visit yet.

    Love the rigs; I'm sure it makes a lot of us jealous . I am glad you are here to help out and we all appreciate it very much.

    I know what you mean about getting close to divorce. I do not have near as much as a lot of the guys, but I have enough to get the wifey upset; especially when she gets the utility bill

    Ha, ha. Now I understand why I'd be noticed. I assumed the XS GPUGRID team would have a lot more people contributing and my numbers would be buried in the many, but we're actually not that many people. (58 active contributors if I'm reading the DC stats page correctly.)

    58 members but daily contributions will be 22-29 members. That is why we are Xtreme. The WCG team is #3 in the world in points but #21 in members. This team has been moving up very quickly, 7/14 we were #24, 8/15 #10 and as we are going will be #8 in less than 2 weeks. Other teams have more members but few team produce as much per member.

    Like PG said, just another reason why we're extreme. I know in WCG and GPUGrid we dont have as many members as some teams, but we beat them out anyway! We're consistently the top producers here with only 30ish contributing. Then we also keep up in F@H, and Seti. (and a few more I think?)

    Those of us who can, crunch Xtremely, the rest of us do what we can! In the end it adds up to a great team, and a lot of good research.

    (and I just thought, with our new secret weapon, and stonageman, we could possibly have a day where all three top members are from XS... Just dreaming...)

    welcome as well jackofall, if you look at all of our stats in the vault, youll see that most of us have our pet projects that we run, and only a few of us running each project, but we are Xtreme, so our team is in the top 10 in most
    Its not overkill if it works.
