Yeah theres a little performance drop, depending if you configure its CPU usage to idle or low priority. I always set it to low and experience no noticable performance drop when browsing the web or orther menial tasks. But SuperPi tests confirm around 30-40% increase in calculation times. Memory usage is usually pretty high with the SMP client so if you have a software running that is sensitive to high memory demands (like my video surveillance server running DVR software) folding may not work on that machine.

On a side note, I was wondering if anyone had some information about the NvNews / OSNN / SP merger. Did the teams merge, combining points or did some members have to abandon their old team number for one of the others, with a team name change? Reason I ask, my 'old' team is going through restructuring since abit is R.I.P. but we have a jackass running the show who doesn't want to change the team name (because of his username), even though we had a team of a handfull join up. The majority of the team wants a name that better describes us, 'United' something-or-other to better encompass multiple teams under the same flag. I just wanted to know if it's possible to combine teams in a neater way than giving up on a particular team number altogether, and forcing the new join-ups to start over from zero.
 
Our team should be kicking it up a notch. I just re-enabled my quad-core Xeon as well as brought my PS3 online...let's see if we can't kick some folding @$$
 
I have been offline for sometime now, i really hope to get back on. just have my laptop and macbook. PC rig is down. and i have not had my PS3 running. :(

I hope to atleast have the PS3 folding a straight week :)
 
lets get more people folding. There are only 16 active folders right now. Please Fold more. Thank You!!!
 
Yes, We need Many Many more though!!!
 
i am finally up again. adding the ps3 this weekend. too busy playing KZ2...
 
So yeah, I have come back to folding. My last work unit was 2007. Back then I was on top ... ahh good times. I have two machines folding atm.

Congratulations, I'd rep you for the prodigious folding accomplishment, but it seems we don't have that ability anymore...:(
 
Currently have two desktops and two laptops folding atm.
 
congrats to Schuey on becoming the new 1st place folder on the team!!
 
I am going to take a break from folding for a couple of months. :(

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
