Re: Looking for a small, active team.

You can change teams every day and go for 365 or 366 teams per year.

tongue Re: Looking for a small, active team.

Vaio---
If you like to run with decent crunching power AND like variety then check out Base Camp.

They have a thread in teams section. wink
I guarantee you WON'T outproduce the Base Campers biggrin


What Vaio said...and most [EDIT:...a lot of] BaseCampers are also members ofSeriousCrunchers
we are BoincWide...yet very home town friendly. Most SeriousCrunchers have a Quad or 6, and we have a GPU contingency...(I'm personally running one 'Phenom X4' with another sitting by waiting on a MoBo along with...hhhmmmm at least 12 more Cores... running currently)and I'm kicking out 50K+/day ATI GPU....at last look I was around # 5 of 20 something teamwide...you want some competition???? bring it on Tex!!!!!!

Re: Looking for a small, active team.


Personally I think there are quite a lot of people with great amount of points. I have had to do seriously crunching with my old quad just to across the 10k line in the points statistics. Eight hours a day isn't enough to get you anywhere near the top. Even with i7 smile

cheers
mika


I've only been on WCG for about a month (of which about 2 weeks was actually crunching) and I'm already around the top 28% percentile in terms of points. Yes, ranked 138K isn't impressive, but I haven't been on here that long. Considering, you can get a quad-core desktop with no OS for less than $500, I could very easily double my daily point count and make even greater headway.

When I see that it gets harder to make it up in the rankings, I will just get another desktop. Athlon X4 620s CPUS are $100. Considering the i9 and hex-cores are due out in Q2 2010, quads are going to get even cheaper.

All I have running is my Q6600 and sometimes my Pentium M 1.73 GHz laptop.

Re: Looking for a small, active team.

Not a lot, but two or three will do. Yes, I have a team but didn't join any of them listed here.

Re: Looking for a small, active team.

As previously stated, I don't pay for electricity and considering how fast prices are dropping with computer parts, buying "a lot of rigs" doesn't entail as much cash as it once did.

Re: Looking for a small, active team.

Don't really care about the Top 100. Top 5000 is okay enough.


Money is no object for me. tongue

3 or 4 quads generating 30K-50K points a day may not get you in the top 100, but I would think you're going to generate more points than most people.
