Are you asking me or the person with over a billion? If me it has taken me since December 1999 and various numbers of pc's to get to where I am now, a long and winding path to be sure! Right now I have 15 pc's running here at home most with gpu's in them that are also crunching.

I'm aiming to catch you in about 5 years mikey ;) At least that's my goal. Maybe sooner :) damn man, 15 pcs... no wonder your electric bill is so much! Much power to you! may the computing amd crunching continue. You can't put a price on science and research!

I don't think 5 years will be enough for you to catch me ;))) My RAC yesterday was 2,331,338 and I still have more wiggle room to get more! Although my cash flow may change come December, I don't think it will be that much of a change. And 600 bucks a month is not too bad, is it?! Come on and try and catch me though, the projects benefit the most and that is the whole point!!

Wow, 2mil+. That's some serious computing. And damn man, 600 a month just for electric to do crunching?!? Mucho gracias to all you do towards research! That's pretty intense. That's more than all my utils put together!

But, I see only a 58 RAC on milkyway@home. ;) Dats where I'm aiming to catch you. Can't compete with 500+ mil on Moo or whatever the heck else you running. :) But MW@home..... here I come! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ahh I see, hmmm I will have to keep my eye on you then!!! Oh and I have an all electric home, so the electric bill covers everything...general home heating and cooling thru a heat pump, water heater, cooking, etc etc. It is Sunday so I will let my signature come thru, pick your battle grounds carefully!

Wow for an all electric home that's very cheap, esp with all the computing!

I'm sure you could just run MW@home for a day and blow past me, but I'm still gonna aim for 10mil wu's of credit. Running the air conditioners now is costing a bit more so I tend to run other boinc apps that don't max out the GPU card to keep my home cooler :) lol But man, once it gets cool in the winter, and if I can I'll double my vid cards, then let the crunching run 24hrs on apps that max it out. All in good computing fun mind you :) hehe

Very friendly community here. Growing to like it alot.

I agree, all in good fun as FRIENDLY competition means the Project gains!! I too am having heat issues right now, it is 85.4F in my basement and that is making my whole house a/c work overtime! I DO have a standalone unit in my basement and it runs 24/7 but can't keep it all cool. I am also running a small window a/c unit upstairs in my 'computer room', a bedroom with multiple pc's in it but no bed, and it IS cool!

Good luck and see you at 10 million!!! Keep on crunching!!!
