Just got my first 2500 part WU. My other 4 up until now have been 500 parts, so this one is gonna take a long, long time...

Just out of interest, how long (on average) does it take you chaps to complete a 500 part WU, and what CPU have you got?

if your machine has sse commands, then go to your startup folder, and alter then folding at home run command, and add the -advmethods switch, this should give u mostly gromacs, which use optimisations, where as the tinker core doesnt, thats why they are slower.
 
At last, project 638 has been given it's proper score.

I've done about a dozen of these over the last few weeks, but it was only given a score of 128. Yet p639 which takes exactly the same amount of time was correctly recieving a score of 239.

I reckon I've lost about 1500 points in the last month, although I don't suppose I'm the only one so it probably has not affected my position much.

The Folding@Home client (console or screen saver) shows real time visualizations of the protein simulations being performed. The molecule drawn is the current atomic configuration ("fold") of the protein being simulated on your computer

There are also many other distributed computing porjects like seti@home (involved in the analysis of signals picked up from space) and fightaids@home.
 
Dang...even with the switch I get very few Gromacs...it's killing me here.

My last Gromac was on Friday I think...since then nothing but little, slow, 400 sized WUs. They take forever....
