I believe the larger the work unit (longer it takes to process it), the more points you get for said work unit.
its not directly related. there are tables for points you get for certain assignments, so you can see how many points you will get.

You can count me in. I've been with Team Rage3D for many years now. I used to be ranked around 60th, but now that everyone else has upgraded their processors, I'm now 200th.

Install the console client and run it as a service. Requires 0 work after you take the 2 minutes to install it. images/smilies/tongue.gif

I'm using the laptop right now. It's a P4 2.8. Once I get a new video card for my main system, then I'll get that up and running as well. That system is an AMD Athlon 2000+ XP.

Your video card has 0 to do with F@H. It's all about your CPU. images/smilies/wink.gif

Oh I know that Viper images/smilies/wink.gif but it's a problem when you don't even have one in your system because the system won't boot without one. images/smilies/lol.gif

Yeah I fried my video card. She's gone. Gotta save for a new one now. images/smilies/lol.gif
