    Yea, you will. I'll take Gaz' spot, then get bumped back down to 4th lol.

    I need to start collecting some stuff. Don't even remember what mobo and CPU chips I have, but I'd like to get it going.

    So close to 100,000 points... I wish I had been able to fold during winter break; now I'm struggling to get back in the top ten (just reached it yesterday iirc).

    Yea, I haven't been folding as much (I only have my NP8662 going) because I figured I was going to need my NP8130 for work. Now that I know I don't (because they provide a computer), I can resume my regularly scheduled folding :D.

    Just my M11x, and My M17x R2. But Gaz slowed his roll for a bit as he took a system off line. I'll be dropping back soon as we have some major players coming up now :D

    I find it much better to work with smaller WUs. Kinda annoying doing the 12hr+ ones on my desktop when I need it. :p The ones I have been getting lately all goes for around 1.5~2hrs with a low base credit, but I get through a lot of them during the day.

    540M can fold quite nice, 3-4 WU if it's on 24/7 and each has the value of 1325points which is nice :)

    So, I did not fold last night because I was installing my second desktop, (and I went out with friends to come back at 4am). But now that everything is working again, I should have both my computer folding :)

    Weird, my second computer folding @ home client shows an "unknown" ETA, estimated credit and base credit.
    Any idea what it is?

    Don't think throttle stop can do much for that processor since the multipliers are locked. You need a 2920/2960 to overclock sadly. :(

    I guess there is no chance either...bios is so locked down and no luck with AmiBCP as it isn`t even in the bios...even dumping NVRAM with AMISCE was disabled... :mad:
    I hope time will be on our side to get things to work in the future... ;)

    This is kind of an old school of thought. A few years ago, yeah, it was kind of a stupid idea to do it.

    These laptops are fully capable of having to the crap OC'd out of them.

    I have to suspicion that reborn2003 through Ayle have rooms in their homes with a rack of computers dedicated to just F@H >.>.

    Folding constantly from this thread's start to today (with a break during Winter Break) with my Quadro 2000M only gave me 100k points, or #10 on the list thus far.

    Thierry, you are coming up the ranks quickly! Are you running the rigs in your signature? Good job man.

    Hehe, thanks!
    I am pretty much always folding with my main rig (i7 2700k + GTX 570) which gives me about 30k credits every day. I now have a second desktop made with old stuff (i5 750 + 9600GT) which is running most of the time too (unless I am using it).
    I noticed your high Credit/WU ratio. It's pretty impressive O_O Most of the WU I get for my CPU are very low on credits, but also quickly done!

    I just started.. ;)

    My "Workstation" will finally be at work.

    Can we get one of these "widgets" in our sigs to let people know that powerhouses can be put to a good cause?

    ;) And to flaunt a bit at our rankings, too.
