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.

and the team also lost its colour. :(
 
 
:o Anyone know whats happened?

My folding at home icon has disappeared out of the system tray...now I am not sure how to pause the work ....this happened before after running another program and it only returned after rebooting.....which I might add I do not want to do...yet. In the task manager it appears to be folding merrily away.... :)
 
Each type has it's own core, that's the very thing that differentiates them.

I've got a core 79 on one machine and I'm pretty sure that's Dgromacs. Not sure what cores Ambers and QMDs use.

QMD cores may use up to 1GB of main memory (source), possibly even more, but they will only run on Intel chips.
 
lol lynx and ariel u guyz dont need to do all tht....

just download the FAH ONE-CLICK and edit the .cfg and put ur name...and with one click it will installl as a service...

(i use this for borging other computers :lol: ;) )

To Install Folding the easiest and fastest way on a Windows XP/W2K machine, use the One-Click Install:

If you are running XP/XP Home/W2K(all versions) on a single cpu computer, do this:

1. Download the One-Click FAH Install (New Client and New Core)here .
2. Unzip the file to a floppy or to a directory (folder) on the desktop.
3. Edit the client.cfg with notepad and change "Wedo" to your folding username. Only use notepad to edit the client.cfg as WordPad, Word, or any other word processing program will mess up your config file!
4. Click the .exe file.

Poof, your folding.

To get other's to fold for you with this:

Download the zip file, edit the client.cfg using notepad, re-zip the file, email the .zip file to everyone and talk them through unzip and click of the .exe file.

or....

Copy the .exe and edited client.cfg to a floppy/cdrom/pen drive and give them to everyone on the planet (except me, I already have it).

You get the idea....



To Install Folding the easiest and fastest way on a Dual CPU or a P4 with HT machine running Windows XP or W2K:

You will do everything noted in the above section except use the Dually/HT version of the One-Click:

The Dually version, OC-FAH-Dually.exe can be downloaded here .

The only other change is that there are two client.cfg files to edit, both of which need your username (again, use notepad to edit this file). The client.cfg's have different names, but don't worry, when you hit the .exe after editing the One-Click changes the names of the files and copies them into the correct directories.


Win9x One-Click
Download it here

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.
