I hit my goal for this month; 1,000,000 points. Looks like I'm going to surpass it by about 125,000 too.
Also, I took second.

Hats off to you Fighter, 1 Million points in one month is nothing short of amazing!  I don't know if I've asked before or not, but are you just using your personal computer to get so many points? Or do you have another PC just for folding.. 100K PPD sounds really nice right about now!

Thanks Toby.
Yep it's just my PC. The -bigadv Flag really pushes out the points.

I bet it does    I would love to run a Core i7 rig but I just really don't know what to do right now.  Sandy Bridge is around the corner (okay, a couple months!) but lets not forget that the prices on the new mobo's and processors won't exactly be "very affordable" by any means I don't think.  Might just lurk around some forums and see if anyone's selling some used X58 stuff.  I saw a couple X58 mobo's go for under $100 a couple weeks ago.  Will just have to find a used i7 920 for around $150.

Question - How much time do you have to spare once you complete your -bigadv?  I'd still like to game on the PC whenever I want, but I also don't want to stress out about making the deadline either.  Most likely would have the CPU clocked around 3.8GHz - 4.0GHz.

I think have about 2 days depending on the project. I'm not too sure though. The deadline is either 4 or 6 days.
