I pulled a Madris a few days back.  Pulled out the old laptop and started to fold on it again.  That was a real head banger.  For those folks old enough in folding, 750 PPD was a good amount back in 2006.  Not anymore.  So my Sony Vaio laptop finished a few WU's for a whooping  1,200 points.  I think I will let this piece of hardware slide into retirement from folding.  Besides, I have other rigs that are much more faster and energy effiecent per PPD values goes.  And Mercury is possibly going mobile rig folding, if I can find that dang inverter somewhere in this house.

He'd smile if he saw that. 
 
Got me thinking and into gear I just put my folding back on, as long as I don't get 75xx or 76xx WUs which make my computer run too slow and freeze up I'll fold, I stop for a little while when I keep getting the mentioned WUs.
 
I heard from Mad back on the 10th he's okay. And February is still too far away to wait for him to be back.
 
Fold on all!

Ya AB thanks, I need to get me a better EVGA. I took the one I added to my sig from one of the banners above.
Had to crop, paste & shrink it down to fit so it has lost some of its glimmer. I'm still looking, maybe I'll fine a better suited one.

Wolf,
 
Here's the EVGA Marketing web-page where you cab get a hi-res version of the logo.  Then you can re-size it, re-color, etc to your needs.

Whoorah team we need to push a little harder 3.5 weeks until over take.

Fold Team Fold!

Trying to, but these 764x WU are eating too much CPU cycles.  They take over 24 hours to fold on Crystal & Mercury.

Ya I know, sometimes on some of my rigs I don't fold GPU just because it cuts to hard into my CPU client times
hurting the bonus it would get to much also.

Oh no, these aren't GPU WU's, they are SMP WU's.  GPU folding I already that it slows up SMP folding, but it also makes the video laggey.  So I only GPU fold when I'm not going to use the PC, which is when I'm gone to work.

In for 50k ppd for a while
ain't much, but dusting off some old hardware

Challenge updates!

Good deal, glad you posted it or I may have missed it, thanks.
 
Sorry guys & gals for being short on the motivational front the past few days.
Real live stuff happening so I been distracted & when I find time to get on, my thoughts just aren't where they should be.
 
But hey anyone having any motivational thoughts or pictures please feel free to share those with us.
3 Weeks & counting down, so we need to pull together quick so we can pull this off.
 
Fold Team Fold!
 
HooRah!..lets keep [H] were they belong, in the fire, ash & smoke from the mighty EVGA folding machine.

Fold on!

Where's the fat guy (me)

You're there...on this team we're all so "lean and mean" that our bodies have been virtually transformed into Greek he-men and she-women!! 

...ain't it the truth?

It's too hot where I am to fold, sorry guys :(

Still waiting for parts    
hope they come in before the weekend

I'm waiting for parts too.  One of my fans is starting to sound like a ticked off cat. 

Crystal just got an upgrade today.
 
 

 
 
I have to say that these fans are really whisper quiet.  When I booted up the PC, I thought I forgot to plug them in because they were so silent.  Because they are so silent, I up'ed the idle speed from 30% to 50% below 70*C and I still can just barely hear them.  I will see how temps hold after tonight. 

When I found out about this challenge about a week ago I was sad that I hadn't been aware for several months.  Since that moment I've left my 2600k folding 24/7, and flip the graphics card on and off as temperatures allow.  It doesn't feel like a huge contribution compared to the 40-50k ppd I'm capable of, but since I'm on my computer all day that's not realistic.  I know it all helps the cause and the team.
Also just stepped up to 680, so whenever the day arrives that we can let the true power of the 6 series be utilized I'll be a member of that crew!
