OK so a few of us are taking part in the Chimps Challenge (a folding@home competition)
We need everybody who can take part to do so, this includes mac users as Mac Pro's will rip through the work.
The competition starts at 8pm on the 5th May (UK time).
Set your clients to the following.
username: CPChimps
team: 35947
We need to hit 20 millions points as fast as possible.
Help us beat the yanks & aussies

You can start before but points at the time count as zero.

So it starts counting from that time.
How long does it last?

how do we monitor the scores so that we know when we have won?  _________________ Was Welshguardsman in the old place

The challenge lasts until we get 20 million points.
Team captains have access to the scores. Eoc scores will give us an idea though.

I use "Set Affinity II" and set the gpu program to auto assign affinities.
You can see in task manager what cores it's using. If you're using an i7 there's a good chance it's trying to use the HT cores

For the challenge we use CPChimps as a username and 35947 for the team. It's important to get the capitals etc in the correct place for the points to register.
