New to the team, forum, etc but not to BOINC / SETI@home.

Do cobbles transfer when a team is joined, or does my team-contribution count start at zero?

I'm waiting/hoping for the BOINC software to grok nvidia Cuda processors under Mac OS - that will be a nice boost for my homebrew MacPro - it pains me to think of the GTX 660 Ti sitting there, but not enough tom ake me switch to Windows. ;)

Hello Chron3

If you are talking about your BOINC credits, they always count no matter how much times you change team, that doesn't affect your Chron3 count.
Thanks for crunching for our team.

@Chron3, glad to have you aboard. Seriously speaking from experience, Boot Camp is a wonderful thing. I use it religiously. A GTX 660ti is a terrible thing to leave idle. :)

What do you have under the hood of that bad boy Mac? Westmeres? Some of the best machines I have are Mac Pros with bootcamp.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2048 MB

Now on Mavericks.

I have one or two apps that I still keep a vmWare Win7Pro virtual machine around for, but I like to be able to spin it up only when needed (logging cycling data from my GPS).

Welcome! There are a lot of great resource members around here (myself excluded) so ask if you have any questions.

Hi Chron3, sorry I'm late to the welcoming party, but glad to have you with us!
Zombie67 has some Macs as well so might hit him up for some crunching info on them, he's been at the MM game a long time.
Have a great week and looking forward to seeing you around on here!
