Yeah, that's a bit nippy.

It does get cold here. It's 0C outside right now but it feels nicer than yesterday because it's not as windy. And winter lasts from the end of October to mid-April here. Then we have a 2 week long spring, and by the 2nd week of May...

Feel free to send me your old folding stuff when you buy new stuff then. Excuse: I'm in college.

It would also be a good idea to see what the final implementation of bonus points for GPUs is before splashing a cool $3000 on a bunch of GPU folding stuff.

My 570 at 950 gets 175k, and I am fairly close to the performance of a 580 with stock clocks at that clock speed. Edit: That's the fun part! What kind of PC enthusiast doesn't want to buy more hardware? And this time they're not...

I think it's interesting to see the folding situation shaken up every now and then. It will make people mad who just spent lots of money on parts, but it would be boring if everything stayed the same all the time.

If you guys are running the beta GPU work units, make sure you actually add passkeys in for those slots. I forgot.

Also my GPU would cost way over $180 because it's the PE/OC. It's not easy to find a 570 that can do 950 core.

Back when I started folding, the 9800GT (and its variants) smashed any CPU by a wide margin. People built GPU farms instead of 2Ps or 4Ps. That being said, nowadays CPU folding uses a lot less electricity. But Pande Group will give...
