    Nothing, I just let both machines on for the past few days. And each WU my Mac Pro does is 1440 points. :-)

    Anyone know what determines if you show up as an individual on the extreme overclocking site?

    My current rank is 88545, here is what shows up when I search by rank for individuals in that area...

    88,542 Bogbag Maximum PC Magazine 0 0 0 6,664 23

    88,549 PS3inutora [email protected] 246 287 861 6,664 23


    Obviously some ranks/people are not reported, but anyone know what gets you on the list to start with?

    - Edit.

    Cant find other people in the FA team either, tried Doczero figured if it was output related he should probably have tripped it.

    - Editing the Edit

    Found it
    Q: Why don't we have user (individual) stats?
    A: Individual stats are added for a team when they reach a rank of 800. If your team's rank drops to below 1,000 then your user data is automatically deleted. This is partially a limitation imposed by Stanford since they do not provide individual stats data for teams below 1,000.

    - Oy, again with the editing.

    The team in the 800th place has 603,352 total points (we are at 316,447) moreover, they seem to have an output of 1,000-3,000 points per day, while we are currenting pulling around 15,000 - 20,000 points per day. I'd say we will end up with individual stats in the not too far future. Until then, keep plugging away!

    I've been running this for about four hours and it's at 300/5000 thingies. Looks like I'll be taking a trip across the hallway to switch [email protected] on my secondary computer, too. :)

    I didn't get it at first, but the Folding Arcadians logo looks totally rad.

    OKay, enough with the edits, I'm having too much fun poking around with the stats on extreme overclocking site.

    Apparently in terms of average 24 output we are ranked 123! So we still have a ways that we can climb :)

    We are ranked 6th for number of ranks gained in the last 24 hours, and 7th for number of ranks gained in the last week.

    Ha so I found something rather annoying. If I try to play C&C3 through EAs automatch it occasionally (as in damn near every time) hard locks my computer. When I reset to fix it, it wipes out any progress I have on my current WU.

    Defiantely gonna have to double check that I have it paused or shut down from now on.

    I'm going to go with the Black and gold. I like the red and the blue as well but black and gold just says classy to me.

    Hmm, well I really like the abstract aesthetic of logo number one, but for me the readability of logo number 2 wins out. So, one vote from me for number 2. If someone else who didn't know what it meant saw it, I wouldn't have to explain as much to them, and yes I'm just that lazy. Both are great though so I'll be happy whichever wins the ultimate vote.

    Also, that GECU shirt is awesome. May have to pick one up soon!

    And yeah, LockeCole, that stats page is scary addictive.

    I very much prefer logo number 1, actually. I think it looks better as an engraving, too, which is a bonus.

    Number 1 for lyfe!

    Ah if it's between those two I have to say entry the first hands down. It uses a PA color scheme and I like the way the FA could also (kinda) be a PA.

    The "mn" is pronounced as "em-en". The 'u's are silent. And the 'o' almost is. And then say it with a Japanese accent.

    Or you can just pronounce it as "Mister Tanooki Suit".

    Seconded. I've installed the beta on my iMac, but I'm less than confident that it'll fire back WUs within the deadlines (which are tight for the beta). If both of the first two that it tries fail, I'll have to resort to running the regular client under Rosetta, which just isn't nice.

    I'm new and haven't got a submitted WU yet, so I'll sit out on the vote. :)

    Well all my Intel boxes are down for power upgrades to the lab. possibly all week. Then my inside guy will restart all the clients. You have about a week to make some gains.
    I hear they hired a new lab manager. We'll see if she even notices.

    I'd have to say that I like a combination of #1 and #2. Take the bottom "folding arcadians" and put it at the bottom of the first one. Meh im difficult but I think it would look pretty cool ;) , id do it myself if I had any sort of ability with photoshop or the like.

    Now if I can just hold onto my #10 spot hehe.
