Introduce Yourself

hiya mike, how you doing
are you still running at 45 to 50% due to power bill ? or you got some solar panel and wind turbines to offset your power bill ? sorry had to be asked

I am at about 80-85% now[about 200Ghz+/-]. I use the heat from the computers to stay warm. I have not paid for home heating in over 4 years

Adywebb, Welcome to the party. I read mention of your willingness to work on any project and a preference for medical / biological research. I thought I would simply take the opportunity to mention to the team that we have been unsucessfully trying to hold off Team Norway in Folding@Home. They will be passing us in a few weeks at the present rate. I only have my PS3 on that project (bought specifically for that project - btw), but the PS3 version doesn't seem to store WUs and I have been having internet connection issues lately (Just look at my MJ-12 stats to verify that).

BTW Adywebb, You'll notice from my signature box that I also prefer to run medical / biological research projects.

Thanks for the welcome Steve - I have done F@H in the past prior to the introduction of the PS3 client and it is a very worthy project, however these days to have a chance of competing as a team you really need to be running it on PS3's or you have no chance.

In what projects can AMD Users make the most gains, or are under the most threat?

Edit: Just been updating myself on F@H since I was last there, and seems I may be wrong about the PS3 having an advantage, and in fact the SMP client scores better....is that the case? - its been a long time since I ran F@H and alot seems to have changed.

Krab84; It's not so important how many or how powerful our computers are, but what is more important is that we contribute what we have to persue the betterment of mankind.

Welcome to AMDUsers and to the party.

Guys,
It's not about the Ghz it's about the fact that we all share a common hobby. It's a place to come and talk about things related to this hobby and you don't get that "glazed look" that you get when you mention this hobby to most people you know. Welcome to all the newcomers and please feel free to add to our forum and toss in your opinions and ask questions of others.
