@transam02: The Windows system tray version 6.23, build of November 26 2008. Its shortcut is in my Startup folder but it doesn't launch at startup; when I do it manually it always gives me the UAC dialog asking me whether I really, really want to perform the action I, a college-educated adult, just did on my own computer. (Sorry. I'm annoyed at Win7 at the moment.) I did reduce the length of time between checkpoints, as my computer crashes and restarts 5 or 6 times a day.

@gibbersome: I have to take peoples' word for whether it's actually doing anything good, but I hope it will. I've gotten my entire improv class into folding; and you're right, I do like the rankings, but more than that I like the idea of being a small part in good works. As do all of us, I believe. It's just a wonder that my old AGP 8x Radeon 3870 is able to do much at all!

To tell you the truth, and coming from a medical background, Stanford team hasn't done much with the computer power available to them. Given the same power to Dr. Ghiorse over at Cornell or Dr. Guidotti over at Harvard and you'd have seen a couple of Field medals by now.

But I think F@H isn't as much about helping science, as much as it has become a competition between highly competitive computer geeks.

With that in mind...Yay, i'm 175th and climbing!!

Hey, it's all about doing some good with those wasted computer cycles. I just wish F@H would launch at startup-- it doesn't seem to want to under Win7.

I just joined Team HH! The user name, of course, is ClemSnide.

In the old days, I had fun with another distributed process, SETI@home. I'm still on my clunker, so I may not contribute an enormous amount. But If I win that i7 rig HH is giving away, that would improve my score, and thereby Team HH. Not that that should influence your decision, but y'know, it would be best for all of us. .)

Seriously. I tried setting it up with an older hardware configuration and had troubles, so I put it on the back burner and just now got it working. Cross fingers!

My main rig is now back online.....just 4 more to go.....transam you are now firmly in the crosshairs and with my gear (course minus the new cpu) I'm good for 24,000ppd barring a catastrophic failure.

If someone will donate a board to me. I will donate a sempron 2200 based pc with 1 gig of ram and 2 80gb harddrives to a needy hothardware member. Its not the fastest computer in the world but a computer none the less for the price of a am2 board. I would post this in other parts of the forum but my headache hurts and don't want to make it worse

Feels good to be missed bob. Its been tough not being able to do my thang but its getting better little by little. i can't tell ya how much i have missed being here. I'm back to second and will be for a while longer before i can see enough to set up my clients so i will have to be content with 2nd for a little longer. I'm itching sooo bad to play with this new gear, but it will be at least feb 2010 before i can spend money on parts since at the minute i'm unemployed and even when i finally land a job to support my 6 kids again it will be all hands on deck to recover from what for me has been a tragic year. My health and my career have really taken the abuse this year, and so has my self esteem. Now i just got to survive till then, but the overclocker in me is ready to sell a kidney for a board for this dang chip....got everything but a dang board....UGH....Thank you to everyone for mentioning me so much in this thread. It might not seem like much to some of you but i really needed a lift up so again thank you all.

WARLORD!!!! I HEART YOU!

I was just saying the other day how I've missed you.

http://hothardware.com/cs/forums/p/44465/335975.aspx#335975

See how I've missed you!

Anyway glad you were well enough to go to quakecon and sweet prizes! amdcrankitup has been playing with a Phenom 2 X3 for a while. Seems like some fun CPUs to overclock.
