OK - I'll hook it up when I get back home........but is it possible to leave a cybercafe running it off 20 PC's? [/b]

If they aren't your PCs then don't do that. [/b][/quote]
not sure what's going on (in general) but OK

I'll use my own PC and check it out when I get back to the UK :)

i dont even think rookie has ever come in here....

we should do 2 things...

1. make a thread on lounge linking here and tell them to join
2. make a thread in everything related to board about the link beside the post count..

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.
 
can somebody explain me whats WU and when i finished 400 what will happen :smilie4:
so far i did 14/400 but still my name is not listed in team list, and suppose if i shutdown my pc what will happen,
sorry things r so confusing :lol:
 
Ok, so it was a glitch I guess as the one that was gonna take like 20 years is now done, but I have something else that seems weird to me as well. It may just be because I've only done like 28 WU's, but, I just got a Amber Core. I thought it was just Gromac and Tinker... Oh well.

does anyone know if its possible o choose what wu u download.

To some extend, yes.

In the config-screen you can choose:

Genome@Home
Folding@Home
or no preference.


When you choose Folding@home you get mostly (or all) tinkers without any switches.
Adding the "-advmethods" switch will get you mostly Gromacs (when available)

Then there is a possibility to join the 'beta-team'.
Then you'll get to test the newest WUs.

Perhaps it's possible to configure your firewall in such a way that your machine can't establish a connection with the server(s) that hand out the WUs you don't want.

I somehow doubt this info is usefull to you :P

  • Athlon XP 2600+ with 1024MB DDR333, running 24/7 (my PC, mild constant usage plus occasional bursts of high usage ie. games)
  • Athlon XP 1700+ with 256MB DDR266, running 24/7 (mum and dad's PC, zero usage a lot of the time with occasional bouts of mild usage)
  • Celeron-M 1.13GHz with 256MB PC133, running most of the time at 66% (my laptop, sometimes off for several hours if I'm taking it into uni, plus I limit it to 66% throttle as I don't want to stress it too much)
