If I do run anything, it would probably be just on the server.

I no longer have any computers contributing to the F@H project. text/html 2008-08-07T02:40:31-05:00 FordGT90Concept http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/72055/#542442 BoT said: <div class="quote">anyway, BOINC looks better and better. i have been runnin them for a while now too on my own team and maybe will dedicate more time to that as well. at least for the cpu's.</div><br /> I have to agree with that. I think I made some progress with Pande Group. If they don't promise to make changes soon, I'll probably have to switch. I would rather have my comps work for someone that cherishes a contribution--no matter how small. The attitude I'm seeing over there is the stuff WMDs are made of. text/html 2008-08-07T01:54:31-05:00 BoT http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/72055/#542441 it's the answer that i expected. &quot;thats just how it is&quot; type. <br /> still doesn't explain why the 8800 fairs so much better then the 2600 or why not even a ps3, which has an amazing amount of fpu does not even fair well compared to the 8800. <br /> <br /> anyway, BOINC looks better and better. i have been runnin them for a while now too on my own team and maybe will dedicate more time to that as well. at least for the cpu's. text/html 2008-08-06T06:08:51-05:00 FordGT90Concept http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/72055/#542352 I don't think I'm going to get anywhere.

I have well over $1000 USD of processors (excluding all the other hardware) folding, 10 of which are on a 64-bit platform, yet it can't equate one $200 graphics card? Sad...very sad. I can't even make the 8800 GT or 8500 GT fold because they don't have 64-bit drivers yet. I doubt my older X800 XL would ever support folding. Basically the system is screwing those with larger investment (two-way processors, massive banks of memory, etc.) and power costs in favor of single card solutions.<br /> <br /> Maybe they need to move away from FPU and more towards 64-bit ALU algorithms. There is far more ALU performance in the world than there is FPU and ALU allows no room for guess work as there is no rounding throughout calculations. Because ALU runs at least one op/clock faster than FPU, it is also significantly faster.<br /> <br /> I think Stanford has a lot of pondering to do. I have always been quite unimpressed with their cobble job software. If they expect to make effective use of the home computer, they need to be quick to adapt new technologies like new instruction sets (SSE4) and x86-64. Instead, they focus on PlayStation 3 and GPUs. It almost makes me want to save my clocks for some other project that does value my expenditures. text/html 2008-08-04T22:03:40-05:00 BoT http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/72055/#542228 right now i am folding solely on a 8800GTS 320<br /> crazy point system text/html 2008-08-04T17:33:38-05:00 FordGT90Concept http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/72055/#542196 You're producing 2000 more points than I am per time frame.
