~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Again, Thanks for taking the time to allow me to interview you.
When did you join the Team? Approximate date is ok if you don't know the specific date.
Joined in Jan of 2008 but have been a reader since 2004.
If there was something recent that you did that you wanted your fellow teammembers to know about, what would it be?
Quit smoking on Jan 5th 2008 and still smoke free.
What is your EOC (extremeoverclockers) stats link?
EOC
You do not have to give specifics (address), but what State do you live in, and if you don't mind telling, what town? (town is not required, but if not a town, a general direction and distance from the nearest 'big town/city' would suffice)
I live in Lisle, IL 25 miles west of Chicago.
How did you initially hear about F@H?
I heard it from a friend that is an OC member.
After starting, why do you continue to Fold?
It is actally a chalenge to keep the rigs going and pushing more WU's for Stanford.
What do you do for a living?
I am a Technology Director and a small business owner.
What do you do for fun?
Spend time with the kids snowboarding, fishing, and racing cars.
Is there anything special you do in your spare time that you really enjoy?
Road rally racing in my 97 Eclipse and also fishing with my 2 sons.
Time to spill your guts. What are the stats of your main folding rig? Why is it your fave? What all do you use the rig for?
C2D E6600, Abit AW9d Max, 2x1gb crucial Balistxs, 2x76gb Raptors, 8800GTX all water cooled. This is my gaming rig/office pc/accounting rig and well it is running smooth @3.6ghz with a load temp of 41C.
Do you have a Borg-Farm? If so, how many computers, and what are they? (CPU, RAM)
I have a small farm at home that consist of 3 Q6600 with 2gb ram overclicked to 3.6ghz on air, 2 E4500 with 2gb ram overclocked to 2.95ghz on air. Also I have 5 E4500 @2.5ghz and about 30 P4 systems folding the console client.
What are your future goals? What do you most want to accomplish with your life?
I want to quit my full time job and do my business full time basicly be my own boss and spend more time with the family.
If there is something you want to tell the team, then spill your guts! What have I missed in my questions that could help the team learn more about you and who you are?
It does not matter how many GHZ you have folding but what does matter is that you are folding and adding to the cause. On a side note my wife thinks I am nuts for doing this but she supports me in my quest of folding.
My rig pics are here and a picture of me is here and other car pictures.
Thanks Gary for taking the time to interview me and hopefully I can contribute to the cause for a long time to come.
Cheers
Rich
