Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

There's no point in doing that at all - the process priority is automatically set to low so it will never harm your gaming performance. The folding program never uses CPU cycles if there is another program needing them. It also uses at most 10MB of RAM, so it's not going to clog up your memory either.

(That reminds me Lamsey, i'm owing you HW2, will sort it out soon - promise :) )

Welcome at Folding@home :)
Although considering how I started at midnight and now have 100 points, I'm not exactly sure how they're calculating that...

looks like something happened to one of lamseys machines too, look at how many WU's hes done, and he was getting no points for it basically.

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? :unsure:

We have had a few warmer days just now Rock.
Is there any chance heat is the problem?

Like in "Sun shining on your case" or,
"Dust and cobwebs on yyour heat-sink" :ph34r:

Most times when you delete a work unit you'll just get the same one handed out over and over.

Yeah it sucks, been there, done that..... :angry:

Close FD2, i found it out. Because of the heat i'm using CoolerXp and guess what?
They don't like each other. Stopped CoolerXp and Wham there it go's.

Spend 3 full days folding and no points were added. :angry: The bad thing is i did no work for the cause! :angry: :angry:

Oh well...

Thanks for the help guys
