My PS3 has been quite busy here lately, so the numbers SHOULD be higher....but my 10 year old nephew insists on playing GTA4 in non-stop sessions, and I have a problem saying "no" to him....but he got grounded by his parents, so yeah....it's back to folding until I get another new game, lol! (by new game, I mean one that I haven't beat yet)

I've now got my two iMacs at work going on F@H (a C2D and i3... not much, but it helps) and I've moved into the top 20 for the group :p

The group is now 378; we've moved up 10 places since I started folding in July or so!

Thanks for moving this. We have several new folders on the team already.

This is the stats page I look at to monitor the team progress. link

Our team has over 23 million points and is ranked 399.

I wanted to bump the link LargeLarry posted; seems pretty helpful.

We're 50,277 points away from moving up to the next rank.

I'll bet the numbers jump a bit over the coming holiday period. If people use their work PCs for folding, they'll have a few days off at least where their PCs do nothing but fold away! I know my two work PCs are going to busy for the near 2 week break i get.

I've added a dual quad core xeon Mac Pro at work that's only 100% folding now; I don't even have a monitor connected to it. MAN my office gets hot now! I don't think I'll be able to 3 machines folding in there during summer :(

My iMac @ home (the Core i7 one) is having a HDD that's dying (it's part of the recall for iMacs w/ Seagate 1 TB drives). So it may be out of commission soon.

We just had our highest month ever at 1,651,203 points!

Lets see if we can do even better :p

Just started folding again on i7 and 2x GTX 660, stress testing as i just upgraded.

Kinda shocked at the improvment as 25WUs is now pulling in 110K before that would only have got around 10K.

Also should reach 367 in about 4 days.

I noticed your points going way up! Score!

I've now added another Mac Pro. So my list is:

Mac Pro dual 3.0ghz Xeon

Mac Pro dual 2.8ghz Xeon

iMac 2.83ghz i7 (about to be decommissioned for about a month) (folding at 50%)

iMac 3.2ghz i3

iMac 2.4ghz C2D

MacBook 2.0ghz C2D (folding of and on)

4 of them are in my office at work... it gets pretty warm in here, not sure I'll be able to do this during summer.

I'm now in the top 10... I'm gunning for you, soothsayer. Only 11+ years ;)

Our numbers have really died off. I guess people didn't leave their computers running while traveling for the holidays :p

The bastages shut my work PCs down even though I left them on and folding.

Damn that sucks! haha

There was a power outage at my apartment when I was visiting my parents. It didn't matter cuz my iMac was in the shop, but that would have made me rather annoyed lol.

BOOM!

December more than doubled November. Good job team. Hopefully we can get things rolling again in January and beat December since we lost a lot of time during the xmas holiday.
