System Specs

So, we're not bursting into flames yet, which pretty much means HWC's hope of capitalizing on Buck's absence is going up in smoke. Sure they beat us by about 70k today, but today also saw technical difficulties from a few of our other members that had them earning reduced PPD. As such, HWC's gain over us is over-hyped.

On top of that, we're all still adding more points every day. For instance, this weekend I'll be building my new Phenom II rig, and with the two extra 9600 GSOs I've bought tonight I'll now be able to populate 4 PCI-e slots with folding goodness. I don't think HWC thought we were ever going to be this much of a challenge, but they haven't given up yet. Until they can muster enough PPD to beat us out for good, if they could even manage that, I'll just enjoy looking at Techpowerup's overtake page. I like how it shows us decimating most teams in the day to day standings.

We've sure made ourselves a little powerhouse here, which is only further exemplified when you consider how small our team is in numbers compared to most other teams in our PPD range. I'm glad that I joined Techpowerup first over HWC, as I likely wouldn't be a part of this great little team we got here.


Pie!

Today we've got two of our newest members, Laurijan and kenny21, crossing their first milestone with the prospect for more very shortly. I hope to see more of this upward trend of new team mates, and in turn I hope to be handing out more of these initial milestones. It's quite nice to see the team growing like it is.
