Hello, Im an adult and anonymous folding@home addict , erm.
Ive bought four second-hand 8800GT and GTS cards the last 10 days, for the purpose of folding. And if that isnt bad enough... tonight I bought an additional GTX 280... for what purpose? Folding ofc.
Am I the only one feeling a little bit crazy around this folding deal? Im also gonna upgrade 2-3 of my CPU to 45nm Quad Cores for the purpose of hmm folding@home.
I should be on your paylist Dr. Pande A personally signed and framed photograph will do hehe.
BTW:
Im gonna consider buying an HD4870x2(R700) for gaming purposes in late september... if i can afford it

Folded since 10-06-04 till 09-2010
I have one computer with two cards in it and I feel guilty when I stop the clients to play a few hours of Medieval II. And when they fix the issue with running the clients while playing games, I'll feel guilty knowing the clients aren't running at their full potential. My wife (bless her heart) thinks my addiction is gaming. She thinks the roll of money I spent on this new computer was so I could play games like Crysis. I have kept the horrible truth from her during the entire four years of our marriage.
Hardware configuration: HP xw4600 workstation (4GB)+Q9650+Sapphire Vapor-X HD4890, HP Z600 workstation (4GB)+2xXEON E5540+Sapphire HD5770, HP ML350 server (4GB)+2xXEON E5520+Diamond HD3850
There should be a picture of Dr. Pande on every power bill with the caption "This man needs you"
"Rumors that the National Power Utilities Consortium has voted Dr. Pande of Stanford University to receive their "Man of the Century" award are simply untrue", said a spokesman for the Consortium. "They've only voted him "Man of the Decade".

I can't pass a computer without thinking about how I can get a client on there. I bought a 9600GT purely for folding when the 8800GT I bought on eBay didn't work. The most graphically intensive game I play is Freecell! I upgraded a perfectly adequate media server just to fold on. I hate it when my kids play games or my wife even checks the news.
