KingFish, folding as "KingFish"
yeah, I still have one darned box folding for you guys that I haven't been able to track down yet. Maybe I'll be able to lure it out of hiding with a 160GB hard drive hehe
 
(trying to beat the rush as everyone stampedes over)

I'm Justin (not Jim as a lot of people misread my username :) ). I started Folding for Rage because I have been into the DC types of programs since Seti first came out onto the scene. I started noticing a lot of weird instability with Seti as the years went on (strange stuff... programs not running right, the ATI MMC taking FOREVER to start up as Seti wouldn't properly give up priority, etc). Plus there was a while I was absolutely living on this board working out problems with some ATI cards. So, for lack of anything else, and as a minor way of saying thanks for the help, I joined up under TR3D.

I wasn't very motivated as my main system was only a 1ghz P3 and it took FOREVER to make any progress....

Then a year or two later I talked to a systems admin at another department at work (I work for a small department at a major university in CA that'll remain nameless for now) talking about loading up the machines with Seti, and that everyone was fine with that. So I started loading up the machines I'm responsible for with Folding. I figured if nothing else it was an amazingly good stress test for them... and I've never looked back!

Right now I'm up to ... erm... 30ish main lab machines, and am in the midst of a very slow rollout of a bunch of 2.8ghz dual-core machines [I am doing MASSIVE testing to be sure they don't die folding 2 instances 24/7]. I just built an Intel dual core machine at home and have 2 Folding instances chugging along. I expect my point totals to start creeping up as I bring more of them online. (but WOW those suckers run hot...) And all of the new lab machines have ATI cards. ;) (none of my machines run NVidia cards, but some use the Intel integrated graphics- what a mistake, even for workstation use.)

You mean your 1200 PPD? :p I don't have anyone on my threat list right now, so I'm not impressed :evil:

j/k! That's some darn good output for someone who just started folding. Keep up the good work :up:

I was at 1600ppd before a couple of power outages knocked out my farm for a week. It's hard to keep yours numbers up when you've only been folding for a short time. Being out those 5 days dropped me from 1600ppd to 1000ppd. Now I have everything back up and have added a couple more, now my average is back over 1400ppd.

Keep up the great work!!
 
Checking in again....

Not sure as to WHY just yet...

Ummm... Lupine? My furry woodland buddy ...

Why are we checking in exactly?
 
Dont be alarmed. It looks like my folding is slacking off. But i am working on a 600 pt WU, so it wont be done until 8/25 at 1am. Take into account I'll probably be playing BF2 this weekend, it'll probably be ~a day longer.

Another reason to boycott BF2 SF! It cuts in folding time! :lol:
 
checking in, but i only fold on my laptop (which is currently my only computer), so it's only a workunit here and there...
 
I started folding a few years ago when I frequented AMDMB.com daily. Since I spend way more time over on these boards I decided to change teams.

I live in Victoria BC Canada. I'm a Naval Weapons Technician currently serving on Cdn Submarines.

med student. folding so I can burn out my laptop and ask for a new one. or at least burning it out so I can get another sub 200 one and burn that one out too.
 
Checking in.... Better late then never

I've been folding as TheDarkHorizon for almost a week now. I'm not sure why I never thought to start folding in the past, but I'm here now. I've got a few computers running it in the background.

Keep on adding to the farm, it becomes an addiction. I started with 3 comps folding and now am up to 17 machines , 37.1 GHz in total.
