I've just joined in the fun...

Cpu=P4 2,5

Errr, dumb question: I've got a laptop so I won't let it on 24/7 (more like 16 hours a day) because I don't want it to overheat... Is that bad? :unsure:

Right click on the Icon, select Configure...

In Advanced, you can set the CPU Usage Percent. Turn it down a little if you find your laptop is overheating.

But if it doesn't overheat running 16 hours/day I see no reason why it would if you run 24/7.

Edit: BTW, welcome on board.

Seti is better in my eyes, nothing against it - both are useful...

I used long time Seti@home, but finally prefer Kazaa running ;) But, no Seti is nice...

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 Livy !

Good info :)
 
Yeah, I believe so. I can see it go up to 65% (when the task manager first opens) but FAH only uses 50% of it.

Either way, even if it is only 50% it is still a lot faster then my old one:)

the EOC stats have just been updated to conterbalance the new points changes recently made by stanford. see Here for details.

so looks like alot of people lost there colour the had.
and the team also lost its colour. :(
 
Damn.
My computer goes down for a few days for service and look what happens...bushwhacked!

Time to get serious again.
No more Mr. Nice Guy.

BTW, congratulations Team...we've broken into the top 1000.
Didn't really take all that long either...where'd we start, like 6000something wasn't it?
 
lucky U

remember if u have HYPER threading or some tht has dual processing (G5)

u have to run 2 instances of FAH for it to fully take effect or it will only work 50% of cpu
