wonderful prog, I on it now with k-lite team. I think it is great and will try to 24/7 it as my grand pa has cancer :(
:(

Sorry to hear that.
That's why we must do anything we can and find that cure...
 
I didn't notice mine when it happened either.

Woot, finished my first WU, was a 1000 one, only took like 8 hours on my athlon XP 1900, but yet the I'm doing a 2500 on my Athlon XP 3200+ and I'm still at 934/2500 after 24 hours???!!!???
 
I installed FAH over the weekend and a search didn't bring up this thread so I joined the Firefox team.

I've put that right now. Team 34905

I had to format my comp the other day so I lost that big juicy WU :(
bummer. i dont think ive lost any WU so far anyway.

ive also just added another machine, a amd k6-2 500, with 256mb ram. running a little each day. running the genome@home, which is now just folding WU without a deadline, since its a slow machine, and not on alot.
 
I'm sure more people would sign up for this if they knew about it.

Another group (newz.dk, team number 34688) were moving along at a rate lower than our group, in fact we had passed them. They were getting just under 1000 points per day. But they did something a few days ago and they now have over 800 processors and are now getting just short of 20000 points per day, and rising!

I feel sure that if more of our users knew about Folding@Home they would happily take it up. We need a link ON THE FRONT PAGE - something as simple as that could bring in loads of new participants.

Just got my first 2500 part WU. My other 4 up until now have been 500 parts, so this one is gonna take a long, long time...

Just out of interest, how long (on average) does it take you chaps to complete a 500 part WU, and what CPU have you got?

Has anyone tryed running this as a service in win nt/2k/xp?

Anyways here are some direction on how to do it. It seems to work for me. Don't blame me if your comp blows up or something if this does something weird.

First make sure the folding@home Client is properly setup.

Then download the consol version of the client and this. Make sure the consol client is working properly first (run it first).

1. Then make a folder somewhere on your hard drive e.g
