I havn't looked at the stats in years and just checked and DAMN your right you guys have been decimated. Yeah they screwed the points system right up with GPU's, N00bs would catch up in a few months with a new gpu, it was a real joke. But I folded from 2000-2006 or so Anon with 6 rigs before joining a team. I've had alot of family die from cancer and thats all I could really do about it.
I remember when EVGA was bribing and I guess now there are 2 F@H coins for it?

I was just looking at the stats too, making me pretty sad seeing all the old user names, we were a thing.
I know it is really about the science, but guys had tens of thousands of dollars tied up in those big AMD 4Ps and Stanford fucked them just as other opportunities to do science were coming on the scene. Then 7im started deleting people's posts and threads on the F@H forum. Some pretty serious personal farms found new places to contribute and we just never coalesced around a single project the way we had around F@H.
I should dig out the T shirt and cry a little.
yeah i stopped around when a lot of fighting (some about a possible amd handicap) and snobbery came about. then the point system fiasco. mt last folding only rig had a couple gtx285s and a overclocked q9550(?) cant remember exact model. was a lot of fun. till it wasnt.
man remember the chimp challenges? heh
my original contribution to science was seti@home on a 386 or 486. so long ago i cant remember what machine really.

I remember getting 6ppd on a k5@166 chip but thats the oldest cpu I remember folding on.
GFDs (gold finger devices) which plugged into the Athlon II(?) processor to change the multiplier.
fuck me
there's a blast from the past...wow
that would be an overclocking artifact I would like to have
there was a pin you could isolate or snap off on the pentium northwood B and change its multiplier (or fsb?). might not of been the B model either come to think about it. a,b,c model northwoods all used a different fsb, that pin said which one to use. or something like that lol
only remember cuz i tried it and it didnt work. as i broke my pin it was a major pita to get it to make contact again. i use a piece of copper wire sticking out of the socket as i recall.
Nice hack, I did the same by cutting the end of a needle off, thats one nice thing about sockets. I was all AMD during P4, That was the worst Intel flop ever, I went from Dual PIII (Rambus baby!) to Socket 462.
