Don't feel discouraged. The next round just started and the points are reset. For this round we are going up against the Fanatical Folders. Keep folding people!

Yes, its a brand new game and we are in a heads up match up vs the Fanatical Folders! Currently, we are building a small lead, but I expect them to drop some bigadv bombs in the coming days.

 Still, I'm only 1% of the group's output lol. I only have a single GTX460 to fold on though so it's not much. We must have some serious horsepower between everyone else to be making up the other 99%.

Well I currently have two rigs running. Working on my thirds overclock and once it's stable I will be folding on three units. I even have a laptop with a core I7 that I might instal Linux on and fold on that if I can figure out how to.

I wish I had more rigs to bring online. Maybe I can get another by chimp challenge.

Well, I'm sorry I can't produce any WUs currently. I think I already mentioned I have problems with my PC, which is currently in the hands of repair guys at the local PC shop I got it from. They are all great guys and have been doing this for quite a long time and I know all of them personally (I have worked with them few years ago). The thing is we still can't figure what is wrong with my PC, the problem is the BSODs and crashes are totally random and we still can't connect them to any hardware. We are thinking it's the Motherboard, but RMAs here aren't as easy as in the States. If we are not sure what exactly is the problem and send the Mobo they will most probably just send it after a couple of weeks saying it's OK and nothing is wrong with it 'cause they couldn't reproduce the problem. Other bad thing that happened a big part of my predicted production was based on HPCS as stated in the entry information, but after they restarted my instances I was unable to run the clients on them. I currently only have access to a PC at work (this PC I'm currently writing from) but for some reason (probably that we use a proxy) I can't SSH to instances from it. Also none of my friends who own a PC with Internet connection are not in town currently and none of my neighbors have PC as far as I know, and as most of them are quite old I don't think it's polite to start asking door to door "Hay, do you have a computer I can use for something?". Another "bad" thing I did was I inputted an estimated production close to what I really can do at my maximum if I keep folding for at least 20 hours a day (I usually fold 24/7 if I'm in the mood and I have the money to spare for the extra electricity), and I only left myself with a couple of spare hours a day for some gaming and maybe a small problem or two here and there (you know electricity stops from time to time). Well all that said I couldn't predict that my PC will go that bad exactly when the M@dness began, and I know to some of you this just sounds like an excuse (maybe next time I'll predict 5K PPD and do 50 *finger pointing intended*) but I did all I could to be a fair competitor. Please if you have something better in mind, tell me. I'll do it, but until I can sort all this mess I just can't help my team. I'm sorry guys  ...

I would have another rig running if I did not give away my old system before the contest started >.< I would had two 8800's and a 295 on it.

Aww sorry I couldn't be of more help guys.. I gave her all she had!
All we can do is try. Did you get your GPU issues fixed?
Sorry for the very late reply! ...but I did, found the answer in a thread on our forums. As I had upgraded to the newest drivers.. shamefully for some extra gaming performance just before the contest start.. turns out I just had to make sure my monitor never went into sleep mode

Ana3mc, thank you for explaining your problems to the team. I like the fact that you had a honest prediction of your points.
I wish I could help you out with HPCS. I don't have any experience with lenux but I would give it a try. Unfortunately I am out of town and only have a smart phone with me. Maybe somebody else on the team can help.

Well guys, I had some spare time and went to that PC shop I got my PC from. The guys allowed me to use one of their office PCs to handle my HPCS stuff and I now have 20 2P instances running there, they also agreed to leave my PC folding while stress testing it (I left only the GPU clients working as the expiration times there are rather easy to achieve even when not folding 24/7). I know this is a bit too late to allow our team a better standing in the competition but at lest it will net to the big goals the whole folding@EVGA team aimed to achieve. Again sorry guys to disappoint you so much, and I know that the low placement of our team is mostly because of me. Thank you for being so patient with me and for not jumping against me for falling so low on production. FOLD ON!
