Some of these teams are putting up some insane numbers. Keep it going everyone!

[jwill427]

looks like less than 24hrs till WU #200,000,000 hits

on a side note, has anyone else had one of these crazy big WUs? recently I've been getting WUs averaging ~4hr or so, but this thing is a beast (of course it had to come when we're pushing for # of results returned )

[headquarter84]

oh well, never got one of these myself ... esp. the FightAIDS ones, they take no more than 4 hours on my rig!!
but yeah.. hopefully much more points

[adict2jane]

Yep, that runtime is normal for a FAAH500X work unit. The last one I completed on a Pentium D 2.8Ghz took just under 50 hours and I got 581 points for it!

The challenge is over and we put up some nice numbers but there were some teams with crazy more firepower than us. Here is the winning team:

>>>
We are very pleased to announce the team that won THE 200 MILLIONTH RESULT RACE challenge!

Team Name: L'Alliance Francophone
Team Captain Name: [AF>France>Est>Lorraine>Vosges>Linux] xter757288 / Mickael

The L'Alliance Francophone team has contributed over 746 years of run time to help humanitarian research!

We thank the L'Alliance Francophone team and all of our members for the success of World Community Grid!

Please note: Although the UserFriendly.Org team returned the most results during the challenge, the team captain is one of our Community Advisors and so ineligible for the certificate and t-shirt

Jwill - How long did that WU take to complete in the end?

[jwill427]

I thought they were going to give the shirt to whoever turned in the actual 200,000,000th WU, not just the winner of the challenge

the uber-wu ended up taking 51hrs and got 728 points

[jwill427]

has anyone else watched the video montage from the newsletter?

I thought it was pretty cool, makes me want to fire up WCG again

[bean55]

Yes it was pretty cool, I have not stopped running WCG

I just slow down now and then.

I'm also folding again, the old nvidia drivers were giving me some errors while folding. The new gpu client and the 180.70 drivers are doing really well. they've managed to put all of the load on the gpu and almost nothing on the cpu! and no errors, so my 8800gt is kicking some butt. My friends PS3 is folding on our team, he's "SportingNut2" and making his way to the top of our chart. The stupid PS3 kicks out of folding mode once and a while so I have to remind him to turn it back on again every once and a while.
