Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

Woot!!! i needed something to keep my cpu warm and here it is thanks guys practicle and i am yhelping poeple wow very nice... it will vae to compete with muy other one that is tryong to calcuate and find other alien species... on other planets... :01: :lol:

ohh ya 2500+ and 2gigs ecc...

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.
 
Nice one kAb ...... I installed just over an hour ago ... lets see whos has a higher posistion after a week ....... ready ... set ... goooooo! :01:

Congratulations, VB1234 you really are shooting up fast! :)

Any chance that this could be pinned back in the lounge? It's so quiet in here...

Of course you are, im not folding 24/7, just when my computer is on, which is afternoons during the week, and about 18 hours a day during the weekends.

Also, im going a big WU right now, should be finished by the end of the day.
 
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.

another quote:



but would this work on P4s?

I assume the windows client is optimized for Intel CPUs by default, and therefor Intel-based rigs don't need many switches.

Running Folding@Home has shown that AMD CPUs are awsome performers, but they need to be cared for, like any race-horse :rolleyes:

Folders on AMD CPUs have to find out which switches work best for them.
When you do want optimum performance you need a very stable machine with good cooling.
When you don't want optimum performance, you could fold without using a switch at all.

But, if you can't accept Lamsey outranking you ( like I can't ), you'll need the switches or a whole lot more machines. :01:

Fold on ! :)
 
I'm back on with a much faster computer. As soon as i can get my old one back up I will have them both going:)

But I cannot seem to get this new comp to use it's full resources. It has a 3.2ghz processor and 1 gig ram but it will not go any higher then 50% of it. Any ideas of how to get it to use more? I even lowered it, restarted then raised it back to high and restarted again with no luck.

Welcome at Folding@home :)
Although considering how I started at midnight and now have 100 points, I'm not exactly sure how they're calculating that...

Well, you have now 26 points a day, so i may have to worry about my first place...:01:
