Finally!!
:beerchug:
It took me a couple of months, but i made it to 1000 points

What is gromacs?
Gromacs is the new folding core (FAHcore_78.exe) GROMACS provides extremely high performance compared to all other programs. For some calculations, gromacs affords benefits over the current code in FAH (the current code is based on Jay Ponder's Tinker), especially a great speed increase (perhaps up to 10x-20x). This will substantially increase the power of FAH for many calculations.
some ppl say that it actually gives you more points as well...so its a WIn WIN! situation
Streaming SIMD(Single Instruction Multiple Data) Extensions
Processors & applications that do not use SSE process one data element in one instruction, a processing style called Single Instruction Single Data, or SISD. In contrast, processors having the SIMD capability have the ability to process more than one data element in one instruction. In other words the processor can work harder with the same two hands (if you get the metaphor). Using SSE requires support from the application, the operating system & the CPU.
Processors that have SSE are as follows..
Athlon XP
Duron 1 GHz & above (morgan core)
Pentium 4
Pentium 3
Celeron 566 mhz & above (coppermine & tualatin cores)
Processors that do not have SSE are as follows..
Duron 950 & below (spitfire core)
Athlon (K7, K75, & Thunderbird cores)
K6-3
K6-2
Celeron 533 MHz & below
Pentium 2
Pentium
All Via/Cyrix CPU's
Anything released before the processors listed of course does not have SSE.
Any version of Windows after '98 supports SSE (95' may just not sure). Any newer Linux distro should have support as well.
The Gromacs core also uses AMD

Well done, VB.
Btw, is that a trumpet I see in your hand.

1. there shoudlnt be any risks with running it. just keep an eye on your temps after a couple of minutes
2. if you remove it, it wont remove everything, it will leave the work unit you are working on and previous settings etc. but can easily be removed by deleting the install folder.
3. not to sure, i think its just stanford/
4. i think its pretty worthwhile.
5. i think the pics are just random, although some of them do actually look like that

erm..although I am still on the "bla blah blah" warning from brahbarossa, I have one question, are you sure?It begins with a 3?.. Right?
then continues with a 4....
Wtf are you on about now?

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
