when i was running XP i had to put the 2nd screen on everytime i closed F@H to get it to start again. Maybe build a dummy plug so you don't have to worry about it...

that could be what you would have to do then.. I'm not sure where you could get that kinda stuff over there

I live like 5miles from a radio shack and still haven't got any of them yet but i don't need them now

Me too and if someone on the team would create a howto that would really help!
El Fiendo can you describe the system including OS that you're going to use?

I've got a i7 965 in a Asus P6T that is going to get a new case with water that I can hopefully overclock.

Sure thing. It'll be on my i7 920, Gigabyte EX58-UD5 and 6GB worth of Dominators (should be able to keep 1600MHz on them). Running the beast will be Windows 7 (7100), although if I decide to go crazy enough I may just bite the bullet and put a non RC Win7 on there. It'll be on air cooling, but its going to be a NH-U12P with dual fans. Depending on how things go I plan on having it OC'ed by the end of tonight and I'm aiming for 4.0+. It's been at stock for a couple of months now (don't beat me!).

If all goes according to plan, I'll have the passkey set up and it will munch through the required 10 regular WUs on the passkey, and my 3 GTX260s will come back into play by nightfall. Hopefully they won't get choked out by the -bigadv units, though I haven't seen anyone reporting that anywhere.

The system is currently running side panel off in a Lancool K62, though I want to add more fans to that (somehow cramming fans in every corner) and close it up. I'll have to be careful as I think one of the GTX260s has a dying fan.

the great thing about Nvidia cards is they don't have to use much CPU power to fold. I don't think you will see any problems there. if you take alittle hit on the GPUs i'm sure the CPU would make up for it and more

I plan on switching my watercooled 920 D0 (after I bump the OC to <3.8Ghz) sometime this week.

Very true, I ran a 9600GSO (admitedly a lesser card) with a 1.8ghz single core Celeron and it worked fine, CPU usage was under 10% until I installed WCG. What I've seen other people at OCN and EVGA do is set the bigadv WU to 7 threads, leaving 1 thread for everything else and the Nvidia GPU clients.

I just did 9500 PPD for the last 24 hours according to KakaoStats. A couple of months ago, that would put me in the top 20. Now it's only good enough for 28th place. Way to go guys! We have got some serious folding going on here at TPU.

We're on a pretty major upwards trend, about 3 weeks ago 8 or 9 K PPD would get you a top-20 spot (maybe 19)

A big thanks to everyone who has been upping their efforts!

I ran a 8800GT overclocked on the P4 661@3.9ghz and it was running WCG and didn't give me a problem still put out around 6.1k ppd

I have about 60 left over of these from a 100 pack if anyone needs them. I got them cheap on ebay from Hong Kong, but it took 3 weeks to get here. Let me know if anyone needs a couple for a dummy plug.
