I’ve been so busy with the move and the house that I haven’t given any updates lately on our Folding@Home team for_xk9. There have been some dramatic changes for our team.

First I would like to welcome new team members:
Catlynnford
jspecht
IET

Catlynnford is Brad’s girlfriend and yet another co-worker. She is close on the heals of ldelp, the only other female on our team. Get-R-Dun Girls!

Many of you know jspecht from my place of work. He is the proud owner of a brand new kickin Athlon 64 bit server. He’s folding on both cores (dual core proc), so nice!

Finally, IET. While I can’t introduce this “member” of the team, I am grateful for the work done. This member of the team might come and go but I welcome all work whenever possible.

Console Folding, a battle for top spot!
Yes, console folding. Translation, the new Playstation 3 (PS3) can be configured to Fold! And I mean REALLY FOLD! Team member jet has been communicating his experience with the PS3 and folding. He has seen his PS3 fold about 3 work units (WU’s) a day! This level of performance is nothing short of insane processing power! The average high end computer will fold less than a WU per day. To compare, my 3.2Ghz HT Intel processor takes just short of 2 days to fold the average WU. For team leaders Ubermensch and mwilkerson look out, jet is on his way!

Huge Jump in Stats!
Now ranked as 395th of 57,804 teams in the world! Our team has folded for over 1.5 million points!

We are now ranked in the top 0.67% for all teams in the world!

A sincere Thank You to all team members for their contributions!

It’s never too late! Join our team today.
Simply download the software, install, enter 46505 for the team number and thats it!
