    Our Ascent is slowing....

    Our climb up the rankings, though we have more people onboard, is slowing.

    This means the Top 1000 are hard nuts to crack.

    OK: TEAM HEXUS, ask not what Folding can do for you, but ask What can you do for folding?

    I'll probably stick the regular client on my home machine as the ATI one wasn't being happy with it.

    Re: Our Ascent is slowing....

    If we all keep running as we do within 24 hours we should reach 994 in ranking.

    This is according to Kakaostats which is usually very good for accuracy.

    All my boxes are now folding when not in use, so that's me worn out (until I can get a PSU for this dual core opty rig, anyways)

    I'm waiting on a Mobo so I can start cobbling together my second rig... but that's gonna be a couple of weeks away yet.

    I'm all out of PC's I'm afraid.

    well, I'm concerned about making it into AND staying in the top 1000.

    We need more people

    Re: Our Ascent is slowing....

    My main PC's on 24/7 yet I barely use it at the moment so I've decided to join in the folding effort. I'm tempted to turn my shuttle on as well

    EDIT:
    I forgot to add, I'm using the name nearfuture as McClane was already taken

    I think it is reasonable to assume that the higher teams have a number of folding farms at their disposal that crunch almost 24/7, if not all the time. Plus a lot of members helps them... Considering there are less than 68 members folding as I type this, around 1000 in the world isn't too bad an effort, but yeah lets get higher.

    Re: Our Ascent is slowing....

    My PC is slowly dying and cannot crunch at the moment.

    I've a Major repair session later, looks like the CPU or something is knackered as I'm getting a whole variety of BSOD's that are totally unrelated.

    Going to try and do the patented "Lee Recovery" later when I get home but so far the "unknown error" diagnostics have not been very good.

    Re: Our Ascent is slowing....

    I'd join you if you were doing it for the World Community Grid. Why did you choose Folding@Home as a matter of interest? The WCG does some folding projects, as well as plenty of other interesting stuff. Seems a much better choice for a Grid Computing project to join to me...
