    We NEED to be Top 1000 :-)

    Guys.....I'm so proud :-) we're now positioned 1138 th globally :-)

    That is a METEORIC climb....we must be showing on someone's Radar somewhere

    Back in May, when I started folding, we were 5843 rd.

    A month ago we were all top 2500th, and now, we're nearly top 1100!!!

    Does anyone know anyone else we can get on board? we NEED folding power, because
    TEAM HEXUS ROCKS and we NEED to be top 1000

    Well despite not having some of that uber power houses like a Radeon or a PS3, i'm coming for you Zaky boy!

    Might take me a while with these SMP units, but i'm well inside the top 10 now

    (blah blah, it's not a race, blah blah)

    Re: We NEED to be Top 1000 :-)

    I'm still building my likkle folding rig... but I'll have 2 running in the next couple of months.

    Mum is recruited too and she's enjoying it - keeps asking me about it and worrying that her WU is taking a while to complete. bless.

    I'll leave my Rig on over the weekend, and "accidentally" leave my work PC on again.

    I'm thinking of putting it on my mothers PC as well as she's got a 3500+ 939 system with 2 Gb ram and half the time it's just logged in doing nothing apart from being sat on MSN.

    I have a shuttle that's doing nothing - might see if I can install linux on it and get it folding for a few extra WUs (though it's pretty low grade, so it won't make anything like the impact that my 2 dual core boxes but I guess every little helps

    EXACTLY the reason I did it. My mum leaves it on and logged into MSN half the weekend, apart from the odd half hours she spends playing with Ikea Home planner or researching family tree stuff.

    I think everyone should get their mum folding for hexus!

    /Edit: Another 8 Places this morning... do you think with another push we could make top 1000 by monday?

He's a decent enough chap, so will see what he says. Cant promise anything though.

    Re: We NEED to be Top 1000 :-)

    PS3s and ATI cards are all very well, but dual and quad cores are great as well. You might not churn out the WUs like the others, but they are more valuable.

    Have a look at the team stats
    http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/...&teamnum=69776

    Fat_Jez has only sumitted 30 WUs, but they are worth a lot each as the data is more suited to SMP machines. Stream processors like the PS3 and X1900s can only deal with particular folds. SMP and the regular single core clients can handle anything thrown at them.
