Don't worry your secrets safe with me

Geeeez, what a way to give a girl a guilt complex!! <<<reaching for her namesake bottle >>>

Always hard to say how many DPC will stay.

Looking for example at the Stampede (which is an organised effort to put as much power as possible at one project) we had at Folding @ Home some while ago some people stay, some new people have joined because of the challenge and will stay and some will go back to their old project and/or new challenges. But because that third category often are the largest crunchers, the post-challenge output flattens down after a while to a little bit above pre-challenge values.

Me personally: I have now two clients crunching on WCG that were on F@H before: an Intel Pentium 4 and an Intel Core 2 Duo. I still have a Playstation 3 folding on F@H. I will probably go back to F@H with my Intel C2D (an Intel C2D because of the optimised clients really is competative in F@H), but I seriously consider keeping my Pentium 4 on WCG (as a P4 is not making many difference in F@H against the PS3 and multicore power).

As to take on the really big teams in WCG: I think we would need an official Stampede to do this (the only way to gather even more power than we do now on WCG I think), which DPC does once a year and this year one already did take place. So maybe next year we should WCG up as an option to vote for when deciding the next Stampede.

We will be back to you live with the story on yesterdays yellow flag and much more after a word from one of our sponsors. The Planet of Weatya! Quality Culinary at it Finest.
