As you can see from the certificate to the left, team 218117 "Folding@Evolve" have passed the second Work Unit Milestone this weekend, this time its for 500 complete Work Units!

And as if that is enough reason for a round of applause, we have reached ANOTHER important milestone too!
Folding@Home have also now achieved a Grand Score of over 250,000 points!  This puts us in the top 10000 teams in the world (currently 9609).

In celebration Evolve is putting together a new folding machine, nothing too special however it does have a Nvidia 9800GT Graphics card that should hopefully put out quite a few work units quite quickly.  Currently the 9800GT is residing in a Pentium 4 HT base unit however that is a temporary stopgap until a new AM3 motherboard arrives, to which 2GB DDR3 Corsair XMS3 RAM and an AMD Athlon II X2 240 CPU will be added, giving a great deal more power to the Folding Farm here at Evolve.

So team, you can clap now!

I have no idea when it happened or how I missed it but Team 218117 "Folding@Evolve" have recently passed our first points based milestone 100,000 points!

In actual fact, right now we're at 141,066 points!
Also, our complete Work Unit count is currently 296 which means we're well on our way to the next Work Unit milestone also (500)!

Another pat on the back is necessary I think!  Keep it up.

Whoop!

Team Folding@Evolve has just completed over 200 Work Units (202) scoring us 88535 and placing us at 16,649 (of 211,912) on the Folding Team Leader-boards!  So team members, give yourselves a clap on the back, we're doing well!

Our current team consist of 3 members and 6 computers (that I know of).  There are also at least 2 more PC's that are still folding their first WU's and once complete there contributions will be added to the team score.

I will be adding more post's to this blog over the next few weeks to help you get involved (tutorials), improve your PPD (guides) and more - links will be added to the Team page to make for easier access so please keep an eye on this blog!
