    Re: Well Done And Serious Congratulations To Team Hexus

    Looks like the work on the farm paid off in the end - you can see from my stats I had a bit of a slack period just before this week. But, that's been sorted out and we're firing on all cylinders again.

    It's only going to get tougher now though team, we're going to have to dig deep to push through the ranks.

    I must admit though, I'm tempted to get a PS3 on the go, I only want one for GT5 and Folding.

    Well done all. I'm afraid I'm going to have to peg back a couple of my boxes just a little, so my production is likely to drop some but I'll still be folding.

    Re: Well Done And Serious Congratulations To Team Hexus

    Depends how fast your system is really.

    Generally it's a day or so per unit.

    Its crossed my mind too, but the cost: points ratio isn't that good. At a maximum of 900 points a day, it makes more sense to invest in a quadcore CPU first.
    Heck, a cheap quadcore system would be about the same price if you didn't have an expensive g.card

    Surely the best costoints ration is an X1950 assuming you have a 2nd PCIe slot?

    Re: Well Done And Serious Congratulations To Team Hexus

    GPU gets 330 points per day on the benchmark system, so even though its hugely powerful for the type of calculations being done, the reward is fairly rubbish as far as I can tell?
    If you have a card with 512+ of RAM, then you can get away with running it as well as the SMP client I guess which would be a nice little boost

    SMP is the king of folding by a loooooong way

    Re: Well Done And Serious Congratulations To Team Hexus

    When I ran the X1900 and quad core - it all seemed to run about 4 times slower than it should (especially the SMP) - so I stopped using the X1900. It even has 512mb. If your CPU is slow then I'd say use the X1900/X1950 - but if you're CPU is quick then you may be better off running your CPU...

    PS - thanks to all those who helped us reach 300 - I hope you stick around
