TPU now in position 80!

Helplessness is the feeling one has after hearing such a diagnostic. One has no control over the evolution of one's cancer and needs to trust his oncologist(s) for the course of treatment. I needed to have a feeling I could do something and folding and crunching are about the only things I felt...

What I'm writing now is for those who wonder if their «weak» cpus are worth putting up for crunching on the WCG project. I started on F@H with my just purchased for this sole purpuse Nvidia GTX260 in April. I was not considering using my Phnom II x3 for crunching until I started reading here...

Before this day is over, we'll have reached rank 100!

The higher we get, the more difficult the next rank gets to be. Over the past month or so, we jumped from about rank 223 to 119. Unfortunately, we can't move that fast in the next month... Rank 101 will be over the 13 million points by the time we get close to it and we just reached 10...

Our team has now reached the 10 million points and now ranks position 125. As for folding we've now moved to position 72. Not bad at all!

Just joined. Thought I might as well as fighting cancer is my priority since I was diagnosed at the end of January with lung cancer and started my chemo and radiotherapy a week ago. Still 24 more radiotherapy sessions to go and one more chemo session.

Nice! Just started my first hour folding... Seems like my GTX260 will get me around 6400 ppds with the current wu (5780). Have not done any tweaking yet. I read some of your other posts which encouraged me with my gpu hw buying decision. Thanks!

I may eventually go 64 bit but, for the moment, will stick with what I know best and have experience with. Vista and Windows 7 have changed the boot process and I do not want to be stuck as I was for a few hours yesterday with a system that was minimal in its usefulness to me. Sure, I could...

Thanks! It is amazing that so little is known on cancer and most treatments are still experimental. I expect to join a clinical trial RTOG 0617 which tries a new radiation dose of 74 Gy vs the standard of 60 Gy with chemotherapy of carboplatin/paclitaxel and possible cetuximab (ind # 103444) for...

Thanks for the reply and OS confirmation. The little bit of experimentation I did with Win7 was rather surprisingly positive and did it because of the better memory management (over 4GB) that I expected my new memory size to be. I did not experiment for long as I did not wish to spend lots of...

just joined I am new at FAH and never had a sophisticated graphic card as I never played games apart from Solitaire or Mahjong... I am not new at PCs as I have bought new a 286-10 during DOS 3.3 days. I also was quite active with the Montreal OS/2 user group. I also was active in Seti@Home...
