I know the little program combines with the dual core is amazing, as soon as you start doing anything serious the application backs right off and lets the new app take the CPU cycles. With the two cores going you don't even feel it.
hmmm having a little problem....
The console version will sometimes stop folding while giving me the following message:
Size of work/wudata_06.xtc not what saved
Folding@Home Core Shutdown: FILE_IO_ERROR
Any ideas? :stick:
Also I have been folding for the past 30 hours and I didnt really get the team any points... Is there something wrong or the page just doesnt update very frequently?
If you go into the directory where it is installed there is a log, it will have more details.
Is your system overclocked? Ocing is great but it has to be perfectly stable for f@h to work. Can you describe your system set up for me? RAID, disk, mobo, CPU, RAM, current settings?
There are also some known issues running the console version together with the graphical version as well.
What's your user name on the team?
Hmm thats what it says in the log:
[11:06:19] Size of work/wudata_06.xtc not what saved.
[11:06:19]
[11:06:19] Folding@home Core Shutdown: FILE_IO_ERROR
[11:06:21] CoreStatus = 75 (117)
[11:06:21] Error opening or reading from a file.
[11:06:21] Deleting current work unit & continuing...
Ofcourse my system is overclocked :rolleyes:
3800+ X2 @ 2.6ghz (260*10) and AFAIK it is 100% stable but I never did a dual prime for more then 30 min... also my "normal" FAh version never crapped out or anything. Mobo is neo2 plat, hard drive FAH is running on is a 74 gig raptor, ram is some crappy 1gig kingston until my vx comes back form rma (I know thats stable... ran 8 hour memtest)
Username on the team is the same as the forum one... One_Hertz
Seriosuly I havent been getitng any points for the last 2 days even though my fah is running 24 hours a day. :(
50 One_Hertz 236 3.
3 packets and low score means errors usually.

Initially when I started F@H I just threw is on the puter I was benching, and of course it errored out all the time. That why I have so many work units downloaded for my actual score to be so low.
As a good general rule of thumb, if your x2 computer is Dual 32Meg Super prime stable, F@H will run without erroring out. It is an intensive math application. I have to think that you are getting some kind of HTT problems if you are getting disk errors though. Either that or you have plain old disk problems, you can run the manufacturers non destructuve drive test and see if that's the case.
Just so you know, the code is rock solid (as much as any code can be). I've never had a problem with it on a stable rig.

folding on my 2800+ barton.
once i get my :banana::banana::banana::banana: sorted out, my opteron 1.4ghz and 1800+ palimino will be folding too.
Hey man, welcome to the fold!!! :toast: you've already turned in your first points....... poifect!
Thanks much for the efforts :)
I'm in guys. I got 3 machines going:
3700+ SD - Main Machine
2.0 Dothan - Thinkpad T42p
P4 3.2 Prescott - Work Computer
just got my 1800+ set up folding now. :)
Fargus... Thanks so much :) I hope to see you climbing the stats ladder for a long time to come, I'm going to post a note in here today about how I set up my rigs for highest scores, maybe that will help some people out config wiseQuote:

Hey Fthiotis !!! welcome to our team man, HUGE thanks and we're looking forward to that Northy in your specs crunching some big units :) :banana: If you need any help, post in a thread or PM any of the folders here. Out team captain is Pythagoras who is suffering a little with the flu ATM...
As an XS moderator, welcome to XS as well, hang out and enjoy the scenery and try not to break too much hardware.
Cheers

Very much Welcome Fthiotis!!!
Make sure you are folding QMD's on that thing, you get crazy points for it.
ok maybe im an oddball here but how much will playing everquest or hl2 or something along that line impact the performace of my fah client? i just finished my first one last night and i have been logge din to eq and running my craft macro the whole time. is this about the expected completion speed or should i log out to do some big crunchin instead of macroing as i sleep?
Well if the CPU is idle it will go faster, but I wouldn't change your life over it. Do what you need to do with your idle cycles. :)
well i have 2 of the machines at work running it 24hrs a day now so hopefully the numbers willb e climbing.
they arent too bad
p4 2.8 northwood 800
512mb of dell ass-brand ram
nothing too great but again its 2 boxes runnin it 24/7
Very good man ! You'll be surpsied by how steady the numbers climb
you get then setup with qmd's and you can put out about 1000 per day...
im using just one rig with qmd's and im +27 for the week
i have 4 non qmd rigs though...
just dled and started folding for u guys...
will get it to go on my linux box also...
Thank you very much, and welcome to the team :toast:
Regards
John.
Welcome to our eclectic folding group :)
thanks
i got my amd 64 3400+ and soon my thunderbird 1.3@1.5 w/ linux
and HOPEFULLY a x2 3800+ system, but only if i can sell my 3400+ :(
btw, what are QMDs? is there a guide somewhere about folding thos?
dont really have time to look...
QMD's will only work on intel rigs ATM.
