BARELY, damn you...

We've been going back and forth the last couple days I think. Thought I had you a bit ago, and then you got some done.

Don't remember my work computer status, but at home I won't have one finish for another 10 hours, a 47 pointer.

I'm disappointed I don't have enough power to go yellow. Gonna have to see about borging a friends system, or perhaps some more boxes at work.

well yesterday i had to turn my comp off so i might of been slightly more ahead. my sis's cpu takes a week to finish an 18 pointer.

Grrr - I know the feeling

I just came to take a look at my stats to see my computer off for the first time in months. My girlfriend tripped a circuit breaker this morning - 12 hours lost!

So Dryfire, what's the list of computers ya got going?

My current setup:

At work:
P4 2.4g - got Folding set up as a service, have to log off each night, needs to keep on folding.

At home:
AMD 1700 (1.46g)
AMD 1600 (1.4g)
P3 566m

I'd love to take over the new rack mount 1U server we just picked up. Dual 2.4g Xeons. But gol-DAMN that thing is noisy. Has 12 fan units, with 2 turbines in each one. And they're all 40mm fans (1U thickness). Good thing that's going offsite to our hosting company.

[I didn't want to start a new thread, so I am just coattailing here.]

I check my stats only to find I finally have a conquest: bkh on Mar 2, 2032 01:00 PM! Well, I hope I live that long!

On the other hand, Cosine is supposed to pass me early in 2006.

Gawd, I love statistics.

"87% of statistics are made up on the spot" -- I heard it first by Vic Reeves (a UK comedian) but he may have been quoting someone else.
