Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

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!
 
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
 
Ugh, im 13th.

Computer was down all day and last night, so lets hope some 24/7 duty will get me back on track, and as soon as my flash drive arrives, she is going to be putting F@H on a bunch of computers.
 
no, when i got my brother to sign up, he is using his own name, i just got him to use our team number. his name is AudioAlterations. once he finishes his first unit, youll see his name show up. were at 569. I dont think of it as cheating if its working toward a good thing. i like to see the whole team progress. im not that concerned with my own stats. B)
 
Congratulations Livy for 200 work units completed for our team.

if anyone has probslems using the -forceSSE command with amd processors, there is a beta gromacs core which fixes the problem. it will be automatically distributed soon if you dont want to use a beta core.

http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/beta-core/

to install, download the new core. close folding@home, and put the new core in the f@h folder, then run f@h again and it will use the new core for gromacs WU's

Thanks for that, I'll try it when I've reinstalled XP (AGAIN, damn NIS crap).

And I'll try it on linux tonight. :lol:

Edit: it's a total lemon, locked up my linux system almost immediately.

It happens some times if the server is down for maintenance. As long as you can get another WU you don't have firewall problems. The completed WU will go eventually.
 
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:
 
Just taking a pic of the teams stats .... thought it would be nice to look back in a months time and see our progress. Here is is:

Just got me this morning a "Protein: p858_p53dimer858"
It's 160 points worth, and takes 25 minutes to complete a frame
----------> almost 42 hours to complete this WU
----------> 160/42 = 3.84 points per hour!

I want more of these ! :rolleyes:

I've got that one on my main pc, and P859 on my XP1700. That one is going to take about 56 hours, so there won't be any changes to my stats for a couple of days. :(

On the up side, a friend is going to GIVE me a dual Athlon mobo and processors (1 Ghz I think), then I will really be able to raise some dust.

Btw, anyone got any info on ocing dual processor systems? :lol:
 
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.
