Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

There's no point in doing that at all - the process priority is automatically set to low so it will never harm your gaming performance. The folding program never uses CPU cycles if there is another program needing them. It also uses at most 10MB of RAM, so it's not going to clog up your memory either.

Oh right. Ok, i'll run it all the time then. ;)

(That reminds me Lamsey, i'm owing you HW2, will sort it out soon - promise :) )
 
I am now 4th on that list with a grand total of 15 points/24 hours :hooray:

Although considering how I started at midnight and now have 100 points, I'm not exactly sure how they're calculating that...

congrats VB1234

I just joined this project, I'm gooman528 (from my e-mail addy), but can't yet see my name on the list yet, probably because i just started, i don't know.

Anyway, I got pentium 1.8 GHz, with 256 RAM

Great! Welcome.

Your name will show up on the list a bit after you complete 1 full work unit.
 
And a big WELCOME for a new folder on out stats page !

:clap: :clap: J'Pol has joined the ranks with his Athlon 1200 :clap: :clap:

His poor machine must have been chewing for days on that big 71 point Tinker :D

Tough to swallow, those WUs, huhhh J'Pol ? :P
 
Now folding!
Just started on my computer:

Athlon XP 3200+ w/ 512mb RAM 24/7

Will start with my gf computer tommorrow:

Athlon XP 1900+ w/ 512mb RAM 24/7

And in a few days when I finished building it:

Athlon 64 3500+ w/ 1.5GB RAM (will be 24/7)

I just had a question on the 64 bit processors. I'm using the newest version (5.03??) and I was wondering, 64 bit processors obviously pass data faster, but would are they eligible for the Gromac tweak i was reading about?

I read about 30 pages of this thread, but I can't be assed to read another 14, it was just far to much...

Also I read on page 28 about making F@H a process, would this work to spike public computers to run this application automatically on windows start? I've got access to at least 10 computers that run non stop, with little to no process power used for 90% of the time. I doubt the owners would submit to this willingly, so I'd just spike them to run as a process that runs in the backroung without making itself known... What better way to put all that processing power to work than to use it for such a great cause!
 
You've got something seriously wrong there, it takes me about 36hrs to process project 638. Maybe it just hasn't been running long enough to work out the speed, since it hasn't completed a frame yet.

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 :)
 
yeah i've dropped down from 3 full time and one as used to one full time an done as used,
as i've just moved out into my own flat, and saving electicity on my laptop and the noise of them as they are in my room,

even a littlelink up the top would be nice, next to post counts and members ranks

so rookie if your reading this. :rolleyes:
 
I know, but sometimes by repeating the number, now and then and not just a link to the number, some members might then think, " I will try it too" untill they see lynx's and VB's scores of course..Perhaps there is a way of hiding them. :o

... Me myself, I know the number actually, it's 34905.
