No wonder you were getting so many ppd

nah - that's brand new. I only got it a week ago.
it's the sheer number of cpus I can throw at the problem.
up to 40 or 50 at times.

Aww, I'm back down to 11th despite using my second box more recently:

I don't own a net cafe ...

If you want a really quick boost get a ps3. As soon as mines back from repair it will be used 24/7 to only fold.

I think I'll get one next week. A guy I was working with was telling me about their research into distributed computing using PS3s. They have 40 for testing!

I also have another 8 core machine on order.

Unfortunately, I also have someone looking for about 6 years worth of cpu time, so I'll have to switch folding off on most of my machines.

I hear they consume around 200W when folding! Probably still more folding per watt than an x86 machine though.

I'm contemplating running a second client on my E6300 but I think I'll get a better heatsink first - only got the stock Intel one on it now and running one FAH all the time puts it up to around 47-52 degrees. The SMP client still seems to buggy right now, and apparently is only worthwhile with 4+ cores.

http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/03/sony-says-the-40gb-ps3-is-still-using-90nm-chips/

the 40GB model ... does feature an updated design with a lower power consumption of just 120 to 140 watts, compared to 180 to 200 watts for the older models.

I don't know if those are under normal circumstances or when put under a high load or what. I'd say games would consume more than just FAH, due to the extra processing and possible use of more of the Cell cores.

I measured power consumption of my PC last week: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055251509

You c2d is safe up to 80c. I doubt running a second client would produce more then a few degrees more heat more then what you are currently getting.

I'd like make my system quieter first. Using SpeedFan I can keep the chassis fans at 50% when everything's under around 45-55 degrees, but it gets pretty noisy after that (only really happens when playing games at the moment, or in the summer).

Need to get more RAM too, especially if I'm gonna do two large WUs simultaneously (they usually use around 50MB). I only have 1GB, which I reach pretty quickly when doing video stuff.

Oh yeah, I convinced my friend theCardinal to join our team, and got Trumad back in action after realising his client was re-configured at some stage to anonymous

The team's rankings were starting to go seriously downhill after deRanged had to downscale his output, but Aidan Walsh has come out of nowhere and started doing some serious work recently. We'll beat... Team Overclockers Chile in no time!

I started overclocking a bit recently (need to get better RAM though before getting any real results), and borged a few machines in college as a graduation present

Seem to be lots of very small WUs going around the last few days.

My previous posting was incorrect. That chart was from the f@h site and didn't show the top 10 producers.

Hmm, falling in ranks.

You and me both

It's been a while so thought I'd do a special update.
