I've just joined in the fun...

Cpu=P4 2,5

Errr, dumb question: I've got a laptop so I won't let it on 24/7 (more like 16 hours a day) because I don't want it to overheat... Is that bad? :unsure:

Right click on the Icon, select Configure...

In Advanced, you can set the CPU Usage Percent. Turn it down a little if you find your laptop is overheating.

But if it doesn't overheat running 16 hours/day I see no reason why it would if you run 24/7.

Edit: BTW, welcome on board.
 
You've got something seriously wrong there, it takes me about 36hrs to process project 638. Maybe it just hasn't been running long enough to work out the speed, since it hasn't completed a frame yet.
 
Hello I just d/l this program this is were I heard of F@H. What I want to know is How to join this team? Do I just enter this # 34905 and thats all or do you have to register with a team?

And I've still got over 300 points stuck in the collection server, waiting for the .143 server to be sorted out. I'm going to see if I can get another cpu on tomorrow. :whistling
 
i was just about past the 4000 mark when it went offline. i should have about 105-110 wu when it comes back, they said about a day, which was about at 3am gmt. i think. so hopefully not long, also make sue ur credited for all your wu you have done, if nto post on the folding board and u will get creited for them manually.
 
I've come to the conclusion that the new team stats are screwed. We've just been passed by "p2p_community". But before the new stats there were no threats. And if you look at their individual points they are quite impressive on a daily basis, yet they have zero points for the week.

Since they have the same position in the Stanford lists (which is the source of these stats) I suspect hacking. The top of their group ("Le_PoUnT") supposedly has had 159 active processors in the last week, yet both his daily and weekly points are zero. And he has supposedly performed 842 WU's on one project, but only 1 on each of another 4 projects. Similar trends can be seen for their number 3 "xlybox".

This is obviously nonsense, yet equally obviously the results have been returned to Stanford otherwise they would not have been credited with the points. The only conclusion is that the same results have been returned time and time again.

If my conclusions are correct, then statistically this dangerously skews the possibilities, not only making those results worthless, but undermining a lot of work done by other people.

I hope I'm wrong.
 
I have read over most of the stuff on F@H that I could find on here. This is what i put in to target line after the rest of the stuff
"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winfah.exe" -advmethods -forceSSE

Well done Livy.

If things don't improve I won't be passing anyone, I'm fed up of having my work lost by the servers, almost 1000 points so far since they introduced that so called "collection server". If I'd had those I really would be snapping at your heels.

2. make a thread in everything related to board about the link beside the post count..
