Surely that's not the same reason for the 420 in dank1983man420.

My guess is that dank1983man wasn't around in the sixties, but he might have heard about the 4:20 thing

+1 on the goals, thats about what I say also. Not sure about the top 100 system wide producers, that might be alittle to high for me....Cheers,..:>
I'm also to old to go back to the sixties, heck I can't remember most of what happened..LOL
Nasty, got my i7 motherboard (gigabyte ud7) back and it folded for about 5 days and went bad again....Having problems with the memory slots quit working..I also bought a GTX460 to put with it and it put up some impressive numbers for those 5 days. I'm going to get a different one this time and hopefully it will last more than 5 days..:>
I ordered an Asus this time around hopefully I will get better results with it...

I was around in the '60 but never heard of this meeting at 4:20 PM to get high. Back then I would cruise the streets with my friends looking for a drunk and give him money for what ever his poison was and a case of Coors for us. It usually didn't take to long to score.

I had the local town marshal stop us once while we were consuming our favorite beverage but all he did was take our beer and send us home. My guess is he drank it himself.

TeX, I've had good luck with my ASUS Rampage Gene II. I could get 4+ GHz easy with my i7 930. Right now it's down because I'm upgrading the cooling. I also need to find a place to put one of my other folding machines. Stupid apartment wiring. The only 15 amp circuit is in the living room! With 3 PC's folding, 1 crunching, TV, sound system all I need to do is fire up a graphic intensive game and whammo! Blown breaker.

Glad to see you approve of and share my folding goals. You are already #1,399 system wide and # 12 TPU. I look forward to continuing our swapping spots in daily pie. Keep up the good work!

I would like to be top 10 team overall. You would think that would be easy on a smaller team, but nearly all the active members are folding beasts NH in particular has exploded, esp after picking up that monster Quad GPU rig from BN

Its def out the question now with my downsizing but I will continue to fold and maybe the next time I rebuild I can rejoin the race for daily PIE

According to FreeDC TechpowerUp is ranked #38 overall.

Texbill is ranked #12 on the TPU team, NH #17, you are #91, and I am #21.

Team China is about to overtake us in 24.9days, damn

And so has my electric bill. Your downsizing has allowed me to move up in daily pie from my usual 7th or 8th place. You'll be back.

We do have hefty folding group. According to Free DC, our team daily average is 11,525. Not too shabby.

To tell the truth I would of been happier to see us as in number 200 or even lower on the list. All that proves is that even more people should be folding IMO.

Yes Niko084 has been racing lately. I might have to do a couple of -bigadv to catch up with him again

I just did a fresh win7 install and we all know that that means tons of securities update and a lot of nightly restarts. When the dust settles "I will be back"

Edit: WTH I take my chances and spend the next three days eating my way through a 2684.

No production from for a bit. MB has to be RMA'd, and no home for my 260 in the meantime.
Will try get my old socket 939 running with a 9600GT. And the fun part is no funds for windows so will have to do a crash course in linux.
