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!

im going away tomorrow till friday, so i may be folding a little less, i'll have my laptop with me, and no internet access. so ive got a bunch of the deadline less f@h WU in a batch, to keep it going. and another machine may be off too, so i may be don to one machine, so no overtaking while im away. :D
 
Ok,

Now I added a second rig to the Folding-community,
this time folding for team 34905 !

This might be my only chance to kick Lamsey's ass....

I assume you've all checked the Team statistics, and noticed that Lamsey isn't leading by THAT much :)

We still can catch him...

Han.
 
I've noticed that F@H does some very strange things with the system tray. If you click on it to see the display it often screws up all the tooltips. I assume it is somehow messing up the handles (what windows uses to identify resources) so you get the tooltip associated to a different prog.

It is probable that when your other prog has closed, it has sent a message to windows asking for it's icon to be removed from the system tray. But if the handles are messed up it is likely that it has inadvertently asked for a different icon to be removed, in this case the F@H icon. Subsequently, windows notices that the owner of the correct icon has gone away, so windows removes that icon too.

Can't be sure this is what is happening, but it is a reasonable guess.

No need to reboot, simply stop the task from within task manager then start it again from your start menu (presumably it is in Programs/Startup).

I'm sure theres an easier way to explain this prog. :blink:

To much abracadabra in this thread to me. Thanks to Slinger i had it working in a few minutes, while reading this thread only gave my headaches.

You have got to remember that theres a lot of foreign non geeks on this board who would like to contribute as well.

Just my 2 cents :)

At the top of the list on the stats-page you'll find some cheaters using more than 1 CPU.

just coz ive got more than one pc doesnt mean im a cheater. :edit: we seem to be slowing down a bit now, we need more folders. :D

i think 7th should put a subcontent on the main page. get more people in. since we are higher ranked mor epeople will be interesed i think.
