Thanks everyone for the compliments!

NOW FOLD!
Curious... would it make a difference using 64 bit XP instead? Or is it just XP in general that is such a CPU hog for folding?

I believe it is XP itself that is the issue. Vista 32bit runs with the same low CPU usage.

nitteo, I had respect for you before, but knowing what you do professionally gives me a great deal more respect for you!!!

I've been in "Homecare" since the late 80's when it was incredibly easy money. I became a Pharmacy Tech along the way, then worked for the 2 largest DME/Pharmacy Homecare companies in the state before moving into sales in a different industry.

I'm now sort of back into it now. My friend started an oxygen equipment repair business 2 years ago & I've been helping him with concentrator repairs. We've got a niche with what we do & have some potential plans that could really take off if Medicare makes their changes.

Fold on brother! I'll be watching you soar lol !!!!

Is there anyway we can get the other one back too?(you know who I'm talking about)

And for your Enterprise, you may have seniority on us, but Mega and myself have no problem ganging up on you!

He'll be chasing the top 5 spots within no time with that monster setup.
Also he'll shoot up the Global ranks also WoW 1000+k in the world.And for him [and the other big guns] folding for 37726 we should shoot up those team rankings also,Be great if like someone already mentiond he can get his freand folding for us too

If you like nitteo you can fold..Just for 1 day mind you under my name LOL ,I would be in top 100 or less within 24 hours...............

Sincere thanks guys!

I truly believe that OCN can get more folders for the cause, that is the main reason I came back. So please, if you see someone without a red-icon, enlighten them...nicely!

As for "shewhoshallnotbenamed" or "voldemort" goes where she wants to go.

Just wondering, I know this sounds stupid, but isn't your electricity higher than the pineapple express? It's great you fold for the cause, but I cringe whenever I see over a 100$ energy bill, so what makes you cringe? Unless your hooking it up to your neighbors outside outlets, in which case I commend you.
