New Folder? Introduce Yourself!

Well, it seems that the introduction for most new OCN folders is asking their first question in the forum. I think it's time they had a chance to make themselves known before that.

So, for any folding newcomers, here's your chance to introduce yourselves. There's a fairly active folding community on OCN, so you'll get a nice welcome here.


And plenty of help in the rest of the Folding Forum, if you need it.


The Essential Threads has all the guides you'll need to get started, as well as CPU/GPU PPD Databases to estimate your output before you start.


Be sure to check out our Foldathons and the TC competition.

Also, anyone who folds on a multi-CPU rig, check our Coremageddon.

Haha, 4 days folding and already in 1,225th place. Very impressive.

I started back in November or something. Does that count as new?


I'm about to go to Windows client though. The VMWare seems to be suffering now, or something, with a new client version. Used to get sometimes 3-4k out of one machine. Now, getting maybe 2k or so.

Ah well...folding on no matter what...even if the light bill went up just as much

Let's just say if you haven't posted here you're new.


And yeah, the SMP2 WUs are giving great PPD right now.

Wish I could do the bigadv, or even use my ATIs like I do the nVidias.

I am frustrated. Used to clock 10k-14k PPD. Now I'm down to 5k-8k because of whatever has been done.

Maybe Stanford is just "Intel fanbois"

While not new to f@h, I am new to the team. I started folding for Ocn on Jan 11th 2010.
I have over 8 million points on my previous team.

One of the main reasons for switching teams is because the forum I came from would not support our f@h team. Granted it was a small forum, and a small team we were still ranked 87th in the world of f@h teams. I see no lack of support for the Ocn team.


I will be adding a couple i7 machines in the next couple weeks.

So here I am
I hope you enjoy my company as I will enjoy yours.

Cheers ~ Monster34~

^^^^^ +1 to the Monsters post. Same team and we were almost even in points. I came over to ocn to help try to give a little boost in points. I will edit this later, on my way to Micro Center Phila., i7's on sale for $199.

I've just downloaded this new folder called "wordpress". It's a really polite folder, just sits on my desktop and doesn't bother me.

Wordpress meet OCN, OCN meet wordpress.



Sorry for my crappy attempts at humor, I just saw this thread and I had to do it.

I must admit, took me a while to understand what you were talking about. But then I got it.


Well played, sir.

Hey guys,

Fairly new to Folding I must say. After switching to the Green Team about a month ago with a GTX 280, I was curious about how well it crunched.

After pawning that off and getting a GTX 295, I figure I'd try to help out the best I could by running 2 clients (I've got a power bill nazi girlfriend, so it's hard to work 24/7 lol).

My moms beat cancer twice so I figure it's for a good cause yeah?




GOGO 37726!

You're pumping out some major PPD, and on the poorer performing WUs too. Very nice.

Yeah...I tried that before... it didn't go down so well:



By the way... that wasn't actually me.
