Title: Just had to post
Post by: Tux2 on March 29, 2009, 02:57:47 PM: Hello guys (and gals for that matter :))
I just downloaded the F@H client for my machines as they run 24/7. I think this is a great idea to use all that unused CPU power that most of us don't utilize when we just do word processing or programming... (Too bad I told my brother about this, he claimed half the computers to do HIS processing under his account. :(, oh well, at least it is all going under the computerhope name...) Too bad my graphics card is only a GeForce 7200gs or I would be running the GPU client as well... (I'm going to have to put that on my list of upgrades...)

P.S. Just watch out, here I come ;)

Okay, so you are only using one 3GHz core and you are STILL beating me???? I have one 3GHz CPU and 1 Core 2 Duo that runs at 2.33GHz and I am using all of those full bore... :-\ (Time to do some upgrades ;)) I guess in this case AMD beats Intel (Graphics processing) I use my machines primarily for compiling and things so that doesn't surprise me too much though... I still need to find out though how to make my Linux system go full bore at 100% instead of 80%...

EDIT: I guess my signature tells it all.
