That's ok. I was once number 22 with my 8800GTX. Now I've lost a lot of ground due to new folders and not having a systen running all day for quite a while. But I'm building a new system that with slowly, maybe even rather quickly eat you and throw you back to the firey depths of hell > haha

The quad, motherboard and ram are days away. The HDD and cooling is a few days behind that. I still need my dual GTX 260s and PSU though. I'm scouring hard for those. I'm aiming for less that 200 CAD per card which is tough. I figure you'll probably catch up to me just in time for me to smoke you with the afterburners.

Hey El- are you looking at other forums for your dual 260? If so, I'll keep an eye on them for you. What quad and mobo are you waiting for Intel or AMD based?

I've got a q9450, Intel DP45SG, and DDR3 on its way. And I've been searching Hardware Canucks and Red Flag Deals (both Canadian sites) in an attempt to save on shipping and handling. However because Canada charges more at its retail locations the deals haven't been so stellar on the cards. I've been looking to pick up at least core 216s.

I almost never get 1888s anymore. Usually I'm pulling in the 768s that work on the old Fahcore 11. 511 pointers have seen an increase and so have the 384s and 353s. From what I can guess, the flood of 1888s (old 1680s) has lessened because most of the new stuff has been processed. What happened to the 420 pointers? What'd they turn into again?

More expensive than our current e-tailers. We don't get the crazy nutso deals you guys do, and we have to pay to have it shipped from the US anyways. I'm aiming for used, I'd even take open box but I haven't seen one open box deal on Canadian Newegg. I assume we don't get those either.

You checked CL El Fiendo? What is the most amount that you can claim when shipping to Canada before they tag it with GET/VAT?

Sorry, CL?

And as far as I know, everything that is tagged as 'purchase' is subject to customs fee. Any amount. On top of that it seems to be around $10-20 more than shipping to Alaska would be for some unknown reason. I usually pay the customs fee straight to the mail lady when they deliver it. I think it can be bypassed by shipping it as 'gift', but...

Can anyone confirm something for me, I'm debating a larger memory card to fold better. Is this plausible? Do cards with more memory fold better?

Specifically the GTX275 1.5GB vs 896MB

Memory has a small effect on folding. It's really the memory clocks, not size that produce more ppd. So, buy the cheaper card an o/c the mem.

Well welcome aboard. What graphics cards do you have running? Most of the cards 2006 and newer will run folding at home. If you have any questions feel free to ask.


Bogmali, yes I've heard of Craigslist but my brain must've been fried. As you can see there isn't too much happening on that sucker there, and actually kijiji.ca is more active for classifieds. Unfortunately there isn't much there either.


And Buck, I can set you up with a level 80 warrior raid ready with a piece of tier 7 and a piece of tier 7.5 armor. I don't use it anymore and have cancelled the account.

Well, I'm not sure about that Fire GL, but if you check the GPU client setup thread in this sub forum, the rest will fold very, very nicely. Ask if you need help dude.

If you haven't already, I suggest getting Fahmon as it will give you one single window to check if anything is wrong. Also, if you post a screen shot we can tell you if the projected points per day you're getting is about right for that component (which indicates everything is in the clear). I believe there is a thread around with information on how to set that one up correctly, though its pretty self explanitory.

The FireGL V5600 is a hopped up HD2600XT(RV630 core) and is capable of folding GPU2

Yea, It's actually a workstation graphic card mainly for CAD work. I purchased it last year to beef up our Solidworks Box, and not spend a great deal on it. Really smooth running solidworks 2008 and 2009 plus AutoCAD 2008. Our CAD guy really likes it over the v3300 it replaced.

Buck I need to ask one more question before I go to bed. Currently I have version "6.23
Windows XP/2003/Vista System tray client installer with viewer" installed on all machines. Does this version have GPU2? Thanks for all the help once again!

There is a GPU2 tray client. I do not advocate using it. The viewer is not required to fold and this client is less efficient than the console client. Download console GPU2 and you will be happier in the long run.
