We run all of the WCG sub-projects. Different members have different reasons for crunching, and consequently may focus on Help Conquer Cancer or Fight Aids At Home, while others of us run everything :toast:

Well then sign me up for sure. I think its a good idea:)

Yes i have created an account. I picked gpugrid(had an nvidia symbol next to it) as a project but it won't seem to start. It looks like it stops at the cpu level.

You can check the link in my sig to Ion's Essentials thread for joining the Team etc... as far as turning in pts, crunch for our Team, report your work (it's automatic really), and you can check your progress in a variety of ways

That means that you need to leave your computer on and crunching enough that it returns work units during at least half of the days of the competition--and enough to get 25k points over the course of the event :)
I'm on it! :)

Welcome everyone! :toast:

Haha, my bad. I have a FX 4100 @ 4.4 and a HD 7850 @ 1100/1250. Saw the thread on running more workloads on a GPU and will probably get that running sometime later.

That's a very solid setup--I'm pulling ~45-50k PPD from my HD7850 setup (albeit on a lowly i3 @ 3.1GHz)
