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)

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'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

Yep I did leave mine on but there was a damn powercut the day after i left,

was sure i had set the BIOS to boot after a power failure, but obviously hadn't :(

unless the power is still off :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.

    • But we are talking about Elon Musk, no AT&T... I know big companies are evil, but Elon and his companies are in another level which is much more dangerous.
    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂
    • Thank gawd AT&T never worked with the US gov....
    • Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
