Perhaps instead of sadly, we can look at as a plus- we don't dilute our compute time across multiple projects. though it can be disheartening to see the don't seem to be as competitive as we were, and I seem to be going nowhere but backwards even, as I don't have a lot of hardware to throw at it..

Just me or is the folding effort loosing steam already? I was just able to get back in the other day. crickets In here..

Simple: invisability. I don't want to have to own stock in power generation to be able to game with quality. small invisible platform with the guts do do its job without trying to be a night club.

For most practical purposes , the Atom/Pentium family is good enough for Email and web apps, streaming video, content consumption. you really can not tell the difference. Power users and creators will not be satisfied with it, but that is not the target audience. What they do need to compete...

Around a bit, though intermittent due to work and life issues. nice little spike in production, but likely short lived due to time and money being redirected to other house projects.. hope to be more consistent and perhaps add a machine or two soon.

DId the passkey , and yes, instant jump. kicking myself for not doing it a lot sooner. that said, i see the overall points sliding down for the team in general. doing what i can..?

TBH, I think bring in a used i5 kind of validates my thoughts about using a " dead" socket. pulling used parts into the discussion really makes a mess of this build though, as why not just start with the i5 from ebay or whatever in the first place? If they are building a new system on a budget...

To the folks complaining about a " dead socket" - in the real world I find that 95% or better a board dies with the chip it started with - meaning upgrades very rarely happen other than RAM or Boot Drive. usually by the time we can afford to upgrade or the need becomes enough, there is a better...

I honestly don't know how you guys are getting such numbers, as I keep getting very low output. of course I am actually using the computers also, but still. People say I should be getting 200k or something, and I get 50..

so, .. Whats up with the Folding site?- working on a couple of older cards but keep getting the " no gpu available" thing.. guessing related to the database issue?

As stated above, 8 gig is not 8000. - Flat as you say. 8 gig is 8192 ( to say it simply)

I have been contributing very little the last while ( years, really) but not for lack of want.. I just have a collection of servers and random really old graphics cards around the shop and various customer's sites. probably can get 10-12 slots open again but all low numbers. I remember when I...

compare to intel compute stick? seeing similar devices for not much more with BT, x86 quad core, 32 gb storage and SD slot, etc , with windows 8/10 full os and office365..

SO , it looks like the r7260x/R7360 vs 650ti/750ti, where can I look at the points difference for the cards? have a 650ti in another machine,, but if they are all going to be price comparable, power comes into question..
