Ah, got "Extra SSE boost OK" now.

Wonder what difference it will make.
It might keep Lamsey behind me for just a little bit longer.

Your ass is mine and you know it :P
 
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....
 
Ok, was chatting about this with a friend on tha Chat.

Apparently this app might heat up the CPU if left alone,
any opinions on that?

I will install some CPU-temperature-controlling software now,
just to make my PC to shut down if it heats up too much.

:cool2:

I suppose you missed the announcement on the latest switch.

You should use: -GromacsPrettyPlease

:ph34r: :unsure: :)
 
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.
 
Can't remember, was rookie the admin when you started that, or was it still 7th?

If it was 7th it might be worth asking rookie for a link to this thread on the front page. Just in case something happens to your laptop. ;)
 
Ok, from what I can tell, I have 2 processors. This is what the everest program tells me anyway.

I would like to set up 2 instances of the console version of FAH but cannot figure it out. This is what FAH says:


**Yes, you can. Additional processors must run the console version
(with the "-local" command-line argument if run on Windows).
First, make additional directories for each processor and copy
the FAH Console executable file into each. Then configure them
with the -config switch, filling in settings for each.
It is very important to make sure that under the "Advanced Settings"
option each copy is given a unique machine ID (from 1 to 8).
The first copy will default to a machine ID of 1, so additional
copies should be given IDs of 2, 3, 4, etc. Each may then be run
out of their installed directory, using the -local switch on windows.**



Anyone one else do this? I cannot figure out how to name each version. Where is the config switch? Where is the advanced settings in the console version? If you know how to make this possible for an idiot like me I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, does it matter where I make the separate directories? Or can I make them both in the folding@home folder?

Thanks

It was just a thought.

What sort of crash is it? BSOD, reboot or just freeze?

I used to find that my system would just freeze when running F@H, until I raised Vcore. Other than that it was usually alright, except if it got fairly hot after about an hour of game playing, and then the same thing would happen. Cured that problem too.

Freeze in both F@H cases. It was frozen from when I left uni until I got home (I was checking the PC using VNC in uni)

I don't really want to up the Vcore, running 46 degrees c at full load at the moment (Athlon 2700+, aluminium HS), I might give it a try if I get more instability problems though, cheers :)
 
ive got an athlon 2500 barton 512mb @169fsb, running nearly 24/7, sometimes used for gaming.

athlon 1500-mobile 320mb, running 24/7 not used, just surfing net.

and my g/f's celeron 2ghz 240mb, running nearly 24/7 at the mo, but its usaully just on when getting used.
