I'm in. I have three PCs, but the one PC I'll use for this challenge is an old Intel Core-2 Duo CPU, ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo ATX motherboard, and two EVGA 750ti graphics cards. I'll aim for 3 million points (or higher) with this machine. My two other PCs have AMD CPUs (both APUs) with a single R7 GPU card each. These will be turned on intermittently, depending on my power bill!

3 million ppd on two 750ti isnt possible. You would need five 1070's for 3 million ppd or two titan xp's.

I think he means for total Points for the TZC Not PPD. His Estimated PPD is 120,000

I believe he was referring to 3 million points total, not per day. His PPD estimate is quite reasonable given his set up.

Correction: 3 million points/30 days in November = 100,000 points/day. Sorry for the confusion.

Most members go only by PPD and not Points or Credits so that to may be why.

Hey folding fans and supporters, We need to make sure that we have a current PPD for each contestant. Please PM either me or HK-Steve ASAP with your corrected PPD. We are also going to PM most of you to make sure we have a good estimate for the challenge. Thanks and hope you all have a fun contest, I'm real happy with the turn out so far. Troy you nailed it!

All signed up for the challenge. First time posting, so I can't PM yet (9 more to go!). I'll be on the Central Team (Chicago), and am still working on m PPD average. I just got my second 1080 FTW yesterday, and have a couple odds and ends cards set up in various rigs, so I'm thinking ~1.7M PPD? If you PM me, can I reply without having posted 10 posts?

We're about 3 hours and 20 minutes out from start time, but here's the link to the live hangout Youtube page https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzBiRxFheHw Hope you all can join us! We watch the chat on the page to take questions as we go (Keep in mind there's about a 30-90 second delay on average) and love to interact with our watchers! d

Folders Break Down Here in the USA. WOW!  Link to Map over on Stanford (May 2008) *It Needs an Update I can see why the Mountain Zone is low, the cost of Internet in the none red area like in Nebraska has so little Folders. Last Year for 3 Months I paid for Internet in Lemoyne Nebraska at the Cost of $125 a Month for 1.5MB DSL. Satellite Cost was over $200.00 and a startup cost of $390.00 so I did not test with it. Note: The Central Zone of Nebraska (Eastern Nebraska) has normal Internet Cost compared to Western Nebraska (Mountain Zone)
