Guys... the PrimeGrid Fullmoon challenge is going to start in about 4 days... and it only runs for 24 hours!
Let's start the hoarding and caching! 
Remember to set Primegrid's options to *ONLY* crunch on the Proth Prime Search (LLR) sub-project. And if you are lucky you may just happen to find a prime number!

And here's the roundup of the challenges we have for this month...
DynaPing - We are #1 and leaving everyone far behind! This is one project no one can beat us at. World Rank #3 is currently our spot but at this pace, the top two teams better watch out! The challenge itself is just 17 hours away from finishing, so it would take divine intervention to take us off the #1 spot!
POEMAthon - Quite a difficult challenge against some of the strongest teams out there, but we have managed to stay on solid #12 rank (out of 43 teams!) for some time, and we ain't budging from it. It's 8 days and 17 hours to the end of the challenge, let's see how the last week goes.
SIMAP - We are hanging on to the #5 spot on this one, there are some very strong and dedicated teams running this project here and we are in the Top 5! It's 7 days and 11 hours to go, I predict we will finish this right where we are.
MilkyWay - A project that should be ran preferably with ATI GPUs, but unfortunately our Team members don't have as many as we wish. But nonetheless we are holding on to #6 spot on this one and with 5 days and 17 hours to go, there shouldn't be any changing.
PrimeGrid - This challenge is about to start on the 25th and will only run for 24 hours. We will have to give it our best in the 24 hours that we have available, and with some luck our members will find some new prime numbers!

I can vouch that the ATI 5850 is a good value GPU cruncher. I splurged on an MSI 5870 Lightning which is very easy to overclock. It goes like stink!!!
I added a couple of nVidia GTX460s this week and they are also great value GPU crunchers. I'm waiting for more stock to arrive in the stores this week but I'm after a Gainward GTX460 GLH (Goes Like Hell) edition.

Dynaping finished a few days and we are #1! This is going to the AMD Users history! I'll add it to the Wiki soon.
But don't stop crunching for it, we are on the way to World #1!!
PrimeGrid's challenge just started and we started off at #26. Primegrid's limits on 20 tasks/cpu prevented us from building an initial cache, so we have to try and do our best with the power we have.

Well, the primegrid challenge has finished, and we could have done better... not just the low tasks limit slowed down our boost, but also the server was experiencing problems that exact day. Anyway, the MilkyWay challenge also finished recently and we finished in #6... way to go people!
The SIMAP and POEMAthon challenges are about to finish in the next couple of days, and we are ranked 5th and 12th respectively, which is very nice! Keep it up AMD Users!

We are entered in some more challenges:
Argentina WCG Challenge starts July 31 for 7 days (set by no name?)
August at Aqua starts August 1 for 7 days (set by We eat pie not count Pi)
SIMAP August scramble starts August 1 for 7 days (set by BOINCstats)
Einstein starts August 1 for 7 days (set by Scottish BOINC Team)
Aqua - MoonWater Revival starts August 1 for 7 days (set by Sicituradastra.)
Do we want to set another challenge?

That's plenty for the first week of August... maybe for the later weeks.
