My PC is not the most spec'd out and I have been happy that my Radeon card has managed to get to just over 1million a month, that is running 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
This has generated just under 8 million points for but only 22 EVGA bucks, [link=mailto:F@H,]F@H,[/link] was it worth it, probably no, it is helping Stanford but the change for the support from EVGA does not now reward being a team member.
Those that just run their systems for 3 days to earn the EVGA dollars are obviously only doing it for gain and oh look at me I am in the top 100 and want to be recognised with a special t-shirt. Well, whom is doing more for research, those that run the best they can, regardless of their power consumption and cost, or those that can fold the quickest?
I know there are members of this EVGA folding @ home forum who do their bit and would like to see something offered to the 1 million point per month.
Yes that would include me as if I run for thirty days I should just about manage 1 million.

So, was just checking on my folding for February and find all my previous numbers have been reset to 0! It shows how much has been done since 1st March.
Only by looking on here did I see that the goal posts have changed, rather miffed as I have, after 8 years of folding, only been generating points the last 12 months.

Hey Zuhl come on over the the BOINC crunching side. Look for cures for AIDS, Cancer and Ebola.
You will appreciated over there. You CPU will be appreciated too. Every core/thread helps.

I did look into that BOINC and asked some questions about it a while back. I'm limited in how long I can run my PC due to electric rates especially when the weather requires heating or AC. Whenever I had extra money I used it to fold especially in the Spring and Fall. Lately I can only justify letting my secondary board fold while I am using the primary board for browsing the web, answering emails and participating in a few forums. I have seen posts about some BOINC project taking 13 hours or more to complete. I can't do that right now. Running one or two WU each day might net me 3 million points and it might not. Why bother is how I look at it any more. They're only EVGA bucks that can only be spent at the EVGA store buying EVGA equipment. I see a lot less cha-ching happening in the EVGA store after the point threshold was increased. I took it as an insult to my equipment and efforts due to income limitations and whether they realize it or not EVGA management has just insulted more than half of their team for the same reasons. I am on limited disability income and got no cost of living increase while my rent, phone and internet services went up in leaps and bounds. I also have more doctor bills, more specialists to see and more prescriptions to pay for. I like folding for my new team. It is a small team and everything I produce is noticed and appreciated.

I think everyone is forgetting that we Fold to find a Cure and this is the Only Reason We Fold.
EVGA is only providing support for Folders that Fold under the team folding@evga (111065)
Maybe it is time for EVGA to drop their support altogether and not have the added Team Support that they provide today.
I am ashamed of our team members that are complaining in this thread that we do have such support from a company like EVGA.
