100,000,000
Atlas Folder passed the one hundred million folding points milestone last night having returned 178,212 work units to Stanford. At the moment Atlas Folder sits at #10 for the most points ever returned by an individual contributor behind anonymous PS3s, anonymous PCs and some serious long-time heavy hitters like ChasR and wayne.
Thanks for everyone’s support and enthusiasm for my little project over the last few months (approaching a year now!). In particular thanks to my mother for her cheerleading and appreciation for what I’m doing.
I’m looking forward to 2010 with the release of the nVidia Fermi cards! 200,000,000 here we come!

Use Linux for F@H. If you only make a small install with just the bash and a streamlined kernel you might get more out of your machine. It is just a thought. I don’t have the means to test it myself but I think Linux is better right now for that purpose. Just because it does not waste processing power on graphics like windows does.
If you can’t do it yourself you are able to find a lot of volunteers that will streamline a kernel for you and help you to make a customized distribution just for running a dedicated F@H server.
I’d like to help you myself with more than this idea but I haven’t been able to learn enought, so far, as to help yourself in a project like this.

Awesome milestone! Has anyone from the lab contacted you about a tighter partnership?
