Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

im in.

core speed: 2.62ghz Intel

RAM: 512mb ddr266 (pc2100)

comp is on roughly 16 hrs a day


im convincing my parents to allow the other comps in the howse to run too. my dads is a p4 1.5 (the old 423pin) and my sis' is an aXP 2600+ (lol they both got theirs from HP while I built my own lol) my dad has 256mb of RDRAM 600mhz and my sis has 512mb pc2100 ram. both their comps r on for bout 6 hrs a day

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 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..

EDIT: found more stuff...

Crunch like mad? Use these switches for an AMD processor:

-forceSSE -advmethods

For an Intel processor:

-advmethods is all you need.

Want the client to talk to you as much as it can? Add this switch:

-verbosity 9

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.

Congratulations, VB1234 you really are shooting up fast! :)

Any chance that this could be pinned back in the lounge? It's so quiet in here...

It's not the position you are in that's important...it's the fact that you're doing it...thats what's important!

This is great, the team is growing larger, every day... :)

but would this work on P4s?

I assume the windows client is optimized for Intel CPUs by default, and therefor Intel-based rigs don't need many switches.

Running Folding@Home has shown that AMD CPUs are awsome performers, but they need to be cared for, like any race-horse :rolleyes:

Folders on AMD CPUs have to find out which switches work best for them.
When you do want optimum performance you need a very stable machine with good cooling.
When you don't want optimum performance, you could fold without using a switch at all.

But, if you can't accept Lamsey outranking you ( like I can't ), you'll need the switches or a whole lot more machines. :01:

Fold on ! :)
