    Yeah, FahCore shat itself mightily. Along with P-Tuner, HFM, my sound card and my Borderlands settings, which has now switched to the dreaded "Don't want to know you anymore" bug :eek::( Now I have to reinstall the OS and Borderlands to even have a chance of getting sound back! :(:(

    At least it happened now, and not for the Foldathon.

    Always a silver lining. :)

    Dude, I've been setting passkeys and usernames ready for the last month... I've not Folded on my Q6600 for myself since I got it.

    And I'm still not gonna finish all the passkeys in time. :p

    I HATE YOU P6701s!

    Right... sorry about the lack of activity lately, both PPD-wise and forum-activity-wise. Big event on OCN, and was putting most of my efforts into that.

    But, that's over now, and we have a Foldathon to gear up for. I for one shall be gunning to take that #1 spot from a certain Mr. rockal. :D

    Erm... guys... my PPD and WU scores have all dropped 25-30% since Stanford's mystery server reset a week or so ago... and from what I can see everyone else seems to be down on PPD too! :eek:

    Have Stanford decided to greatly reduce bonus points for SMP WUs??!? :eek::eek::eek:

    No... in fact, PPD has gone up on the P6701/6702 WUs with a new core revision... have you got the logs available?

    All I know is that I'm still running the Gromacs release from March :o

    The client is the same, but the newer WUs have a new revision of FahCore_a3. Delete your FahCore, and it should download the new one if you haven't got it yet. ;)

    Are you sure? Haven't tried decapitating the F@Hcore on my E5200 for fear of its head not growing back straight but I only just downloaded a fresh F@Hcore onto the i5 today and its still the March version :o

    And its a P6701 :rolleyes: Coincidentally the WU running on my C2D is a P6701 too... :pac:

    No GPU client for me :( When the hell will Stanford release a HD6800-based client?!?

    I hope this thing starts at 5pm sharp anyway, I'm heading off and I've two P6701s about to complete while the machines are unattended. If this thing starts an hour late I'll be down a ton of points :o

    So long PC, hello Xbox 360 backlog.

    I hope it doesn't kill me to go two days without playing Fallout 3 :).

    No it's not; it was just released a few days ago. They must have just not updated the date.

    Not much longer I hear. A beta of Client v7 should be out around Xmas, and not much longer after that until we start seeing the first FahCore_16 WUs. :)

    Well... I was going to start the Foldathon at 8 today (since I got home late). Then I saw this post and went and found someone who had the stats from earlier on in the day. So you lucked out. :p

    At least you've got an XBox to play on. I can't go near my PS3, lest I lose my 1k PPD. :pac:

    My 6811 unit died with a "computer unstable" died 12 hours in so I'm just giving up on this one. That coupled with a 6701 has put me off folding for the next week or so. Have fun guys!

    Yeah, the 7202pt WUs have made a fair few GPUs unstable of late.

    Guess we'll see you again next month, hopefully with some calmer WUs. :p

    I'm out for this one too, coz all I can usually fold on is the ps3 and it's not uploading the w.u.'s properly. :(

    Blah, seems like my GPUs about to let go... might have to turn it off tonight for the rest of the event.

    This has been an awful Foldathon on my end... 2 clients out of the 5 I had last time. :(

    Boards is fairly getting hammered anyway :o:( We've lost taorg, CD and a few other heavy-hitters have pulled back drastically... and the WUs for CPU and GPU are, for lack of a more apt term, s***e :o

    Oh I KNOW its my connection.:o Bleddy Eircom.:mad:.
    The thing just keeps uploading till the bar gets to the end, waiting ten min's and then repeating it all over again. It takes round 6 hrs just to upload 1 W.U.:rolleyes:
    That halves productivity, and I've no idea how much of the internet "cap" its using. It usedn't to do that and I'll see if it fixes itself later in the month, but for now its out of action.
    See ye all (hopefully) next month.

    I was darn lucky and got a P2633 on the C2D so I got another few hundred points from it before the deadline, now on another P60** for a good 17 hours. i5 also just completed a P60** and will take another 8 hours to complete the next so I'm done :o:)
