    Our team is in 6th place after 1 day but we are being closely persued by BOINC@Mixi.

    Any assistance will be appreciated

    As the GFN tasks are small older Intel and AMD CPUs work fine and there are gpu apps also available.

    I'm giving her all she's got captain, if I push her any more she'll blow... lol. Ah well, my stable is going full blast on this one, but as i only have a single old graphics card (HD6670), all the rest is cpu and a little on the slow side, I've slowly dropped down the table and am outside the top 300 now. I'll continue for the team effort, but this isn't going to be one of my better challenges! Congrats Vaughan on the prime though, and on being at position 7 in the individuals at the moment.
