I've been slacking lately, sold a processor a few weeks ago but hope to replace it in a couple of days time, X64 system also been down for a couple of weeks because it's been so warm here. I'll soon jack those rates up to reasonable figures again.
 
Slinger,

Especially when you're folding Gromacs your CPU-temp can go up quite a bit.
For me this was a serious problem as I'm addicted to "silent computing" too, having a low airflow rig etc.

When you fold (and you should when you have your rig running anyway), keep an eye on those temps.

EDIT:

Motherboard Monitor is fine freeware to keep an eye on your CPU and HDs.
Regard the 65 degrees Celsius mark for your CPU as a border you shouldn't cross.

Han.

Thank you very much ! Will download and install the app.

Damn SS went down when we was talking about this...

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
 
Since your processor only has one Floating Point Unit, and most of the work is done by the FPU, you will see very little advantage. Pandegroup actually prefer that you don't run a HT processor in this way.

If you really want to run 2 copies you can do so:

You have to make a completely separate folder for each copy.

Create a new folder (call it something like Folding2) and copy just the console executable into it. If you copy anything else it may not work.

Now start a command prompt, change to the new folder, and run the console program. There will be no config file so it will think this is the first run, consequently it will automatically run the config. I've never found the need to use the -local setting.

It will ask you if you want to change the advanced settings as part of the config. The only thing you need to make sure is different is the machine ID - set it to 2. It will also ask you if you want to install it as a service - it's a good idea to do this.

If you decide to install it as a service, you should stop the program immediately after completing the config (press ctrl-c a couple of times), then go to control panel/admin tools/services and start the service.
 
yeah, the number will never change, but i can change the team name banner and website.
we could maybe have a few ideas and vote?

Just to show you what we're doing is child's play. :unsure:

It makes me humble.
Over at Sudhian.com a guy named MarkF build a 'Folding Farm'.
A rack totally filled with stripped boards, with a single goal: Folding.
Every floor in this rack carries 2 boards.

(Pics are shamelessly nicked from Sudhian)

Now these things are AWESOME!

Just kidding. :rolleyes:
