Dude throw some ram in, slap thos g34 CPUs in, and crank the power up. That is going to be a beast of a folding rig. Wish I could build a rig like that.

I’ve been really tryin' baby
Tryin to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel like I feel baby
Come on, oh come on, ooh

Let’s get it on, ow baby
Let’s get it on, let’s fold baby
Let’s get it on, sugar
Let’s get it on, woo

We’re all sensitive people with so much to give
Understand me sugar
Since we got to be, let’s fold, I love you
There’s nothin’ wrong with me foldin’ with you, baby no no
And givin’ yourself to me can never be wrong
If the fold is true, oh baby ooh

-apologies to Marvin Gaye, but it had to be said-

 
you definitely need lots of alone time with your rig 

On one hand, I'll be leaving DarkStorm on for a bit of the contest (not much, CST, don't worry.  It's just waiting on parts before I can build and start Dragon Slayer).
 
On the other hand, helping Dad OC a Q9550 is worth a few laughs.

Final down time tonight , reapplying TIM and dusting.

I fired up some more hardware!  170k ppd running atm.  Hopefully more coming! 

Finally I got the P4 scrap folding for once.  I had to install a Win7 copy but not activate it.  30 days of use should be plenty of time for it.  Then after wards, it can rest in a box up in the actitic.  No to get as much PPD out of it.
 
Did you know Stanford puts out 1000+ point projects for the unipro folders.  It is equal to trying to run a bigadv wu on a i7.   Wonder what the P4 PPD output will be since I disabled HT and OC to 3.2GHz.

Why do you think I run so much uniproc?

*Shoots Shykal with a paintball gun and fixes the rig*

*Loosened the wheels and screws in his chair while he was away from his desk, super glues his mouse to his desk*

Ah ha ha I has spares in the box on top of my closet .... Wait I shouldn't have said that
 
*dusts Madrias' computer area with habanero pepper*

Last chip for the G34 system is bought.  Should be up and running over the weekend! =)

I'm so evil to my equipment.  So the P4 rig is slow, too slow for my liking.  But wait, the mobo has a PCIe 16x slot free.  Sadly thou, my PSU that I'm using is a 360W Max rating.  Oh F it, whats the worst that could happen.  Hooked it all up, took off what I didn't need (Cd rom), and loaded the drivers.  Gave it the first test run and what would you know, the PSU is holding up.  The PSU fan is racing now because of the load, but hey, thats an extra 13k PPD.  The P4 barely supports the GPU, takes 50% or more processing power.  And with the CPU & GPU folding, the GPU load drops to 75% because the CPU can't keep up (Even with HT enabled).  So I'm going to let the CPU finish and let it devote itself to the GPU folding. 
 
This at least gives our team a tiny edge back.  And 25% of what Crystal was capable of folding.

Do you really think it's wise to loosen any more of his screws? I think he's got too many loose as it is.

Well he's already lost all his marbles so she can't steal any of those...

The build of Dragon Slayer is a touch delayed, but it should be done and running sometime in the contest.

Screws for the GPU.  The ones that were sent with it weren't compatible from the waterblock to the original fansink.  So at this point, I have to wait till I get the screws for the fansink.
 
Also, I don't yet have the OS for it.

You have a point.
Now I'm undecided if I want to lol, completely agree or swat you. It's not easy being the supportive GF and on an opposing team at the same time, PST FTW followed by a Love you just doesn't blend well .
 

PunchyWell he's already lost all his marbles so she can't steal any of those...

Might seem that way but no he keeps them in a marble bag around his neck, so he only misplaces them once in a while. Oi I wouldn't steal them gotta keep track of my own marbles .
 
*mistakes Punchy for one of those kids plastic blow up punching bags again* Hmm the penguin punching bag is a bit flat where do I put this *is holding an air pump and it's nozzle* to fill it with some air?
