I don't have a powerful rig for folding but I do fold when I can. Is there any requirements besides participating, as far as hardware goes and how much PPD you can actually obtain? I know it says 40000 per week.

you should have no problem meeting 40k per week with a 560
that's about 3 full days/week folding for you
no that's all the requirements...just follow the rules
just try to project your avg PPD during the contest
and of course have a little fun during the competition
and read when Contest announcements come up

May have fudged a bit on the PPD ... didn't know this was a full month.
So, guess I'll have to find one more GPU to SLI ... anyone have a GTS450sc they want to sell?

Had a record setting day today. Guess that's what happens if I leave my rig on all night.

Cool will do. So if I fold during the day and at night everyday I should have no problem meeting the 40k requirement. I just want to be open to still being able to play BF3 during the peak hours(around 3pm eastern to maybe 10pm eastern) with my friends. I do not play that long but that is the time I tend to play.

In the past if you haven't been able to meet the minimum post requirement, you just sent a PM to troy or one of the other people involved in the event organization and explaing the situation. It hasn't been a big deal. Now if you do that and tell them you can only do 10k ppd and start cranking out 50k ppd then there is a problem. And I'm not at all saying your going to do that.

I'll be signing up in the next few days...just trying to figure out my output as I've moved some rig around to other DC projects and lost track of my F@H numbers. Let's do this 
My computer finds cures for diseases and searches for aliens when I'm not gaming...what does yours do?

Kind of in the same boat here, I haven't folded since we started up the BOINC side.... And considering I was able to do bigadv with my 920, I don't know what I can get without that.... Hoping I get this second system together in time for it.... I'll at least have a 920, a laptop and a ps3 going when I decide to register....

A 920 by itself is good for 20k to 25k ppd depending on wu. Thats assuming SMP-8 and no GPU's. kerryd

Nope, as long as you don't have like a 100% increase in ppd production there won't be a problem. And that would not even be a problem if you build another system, or add in another 580 or something during the competition.

I just meant that the 920 by it's self and with and OC of 3.8ghz or 4.0ghz will net between 20k and 25k ppd without any other hardware running. Add in some GPU's and obviously that will drop a little due to running the cards.

The Prophets should be listed soon! I just let Troy know they would be participating again. I am hoping that as many of the original team members that want to return will be able to. Always nice to have them Folding as The Prophets.

My laptop won't pull i much, it's only a dual-core, don't remember the speed, but I remember it took most of 2-3 days for a wu.... Unless PS3 folding has changed, it'll about 1k ppd.... Having the gpus crunching will take some from the smp folding, and I can't have it at smp 8....

There is a good reason - it was a prize in the last contest. If you don't want to see it next contest, you can win it yourself and have nothing put in.
Why are you so grumpy today?

I might be able to answer that, but then he'd kill me    . I find the chats filter antics amusing, never know what you're gonna get  .

2/11/12 - One thing I want to encourage is for you guys to make suggestions on ways to improve the contest. A good number of the things we continue to add to contests are simply because someone suggested on the forums.

I'd be more than happy to run as a Prophet again! But I will refrain from registering until I can get the overclock on my 870 dialed in and rock solid. I'd like to be able to add it to my arsenal for 100% usage.
