Was wondering about my fellow BC folders:

How many PC's (or processors) are you using and what OS are you using?

(Ive been noticing that the F@H Stats have me using 4 different processors in 50 Days. Which IMO is from my recent OS installs)

2 PC's running Ubuntu/KUbuntu

Thanks Tink536

I've been visiting garage sales looking for old cheap computers to throw NIC cards in and make a F@H farm at home. :D

Something tells me I'm gonna have to break down and buy that Dual Core I've been eying if I want to remain in the top 10.

We really do have a great group of folders here and that just goes to show it.

Wow, great numbers Rob, keep up the great folding!

The BC Team sure has folded alot of WU's so far this past year.
Great to see the renewed interest in such a good cause! :thumbsup:

Yes. There have been a few go through recently. I think they are all fine tuned the way I want them now. Have lost the ones at work, for some reason they interfered too much with normal work, but still have one more to install here. Looking forward to the big 100 WUs very soon, and I see the estimate for my 25,000 points has come up to next week. Still, it's the team effort that counts most.

I made a comment a few months ago when Team 38444 reached a rank of 2000, and I see we are now up to #1521 so well done everyone. Keep up the good work and new members always welcome to help the cause.

Cheers

Fold on BC Crew!

Makes no difference with what and how.

//USPS still hasn't delivered those other dual cores. What's up with that? Giggle. Check your review mirror there Yano!//

You're right on about that KoanYorel. :thumbsup:

If a member wants to join the BC F@H Team, any amount of spare CPU's are usable. All computers can contribute to Folding@Home. If the computer is over four years old, it should be set to run with deadlineless work units.

BTW, BlackSpyder to answer your question,
Running 1 Desktop with a Pentium 3.0 GHz.

Thanx for the congrats thingy Yourhighness :flowers:
