Maybe he renamed FAH502_console.exe to fah.exe to make it easier or so.

[oublie]

yup sorry modd, fah is actually fah_console i should have said. Looks like your running fine, did you get fahmon working ?

[[XC] moddolicous]

I think I did. It looks like this though, so I'm not sure if its correct. I still had to choose the file though:

[oublie]

Yeah thats spot on mate all you have to do now is convert all your D2ol and Rosetta rigs to fold for us.

[[XC] moddolicous]

I've got a few d2ol rigs I'll switch over soon, but rosetta has to stay on my brothers sempron rig.

[Pirated]

How can i joined folding at home.
any requirements?

[oublie]

None whatsoever (apart from having a computer ) Just download the client (i recommend using the console), run it, choose a name and set your team id to
36362 (thats us) and let it run in the background, if you look around this forum you'll find some pointers on how to get the most points for your machine.

I just signed up for the XS team and am folding for most of the day when I'm at work or when my comp is just sitting close it idle.

Hi, just joined the team. I won't have too much of an impact I'm afraid, but hey, every little bit helps right?

[[XC] moddolicous]

Yea, every bit help. Thanks for joining the team vok. And welcome to xtremesystems.

[introvert]

[Jupiler]

Thanks for joining the team, introvert.
Welcome to XS.

[[XC]melymel]

HI all i just started folding for XS a couple of days ago. I used to fold for OcUK a while ago but i run rosetta for XS now. F@H was the first D'C'ing i did and it got me addicted so i thought it would be nice to return here. I only have my laptop running 24/7 atm as my other rigs are running R@H, but i will be switching fully to F@H very soon.

however one question i have is whether cpu cache is important for F@H?
I ask because semprons and celeron m's are great for rosetta because only mhz really matter.

Happy Folding

[FemFolder]

In my experience, cache does make a difference.
I have a amd 64 3000 sempron and a amd 64 3000 NewCastle, and the NewCastle out crunches the Sempron by quite a bit.

just joined my mom's 2.4(something) to the team (F@H is far less visible than R@H, thus its my borging DC project of choice). Hopefully, I'll be adding a few more machines soon, but we'll see how things go.

[[XC]melymel]

Cheers for that femfolder!! guess ill have to get a presler then.

B_S I agree, it's much easier for borging than any others thanks to the service install, i have already attacked my parents rig hehe.

[walt466]

I just joined the team today,i am running a x2 3800 cpu and 2gig pc4000 mem
i can only run one instance of the program as i have a problem with my second core being real weak it fails dual prime but will pass single, my machine runs 24/7 so it should help some.

[sc00p]

Thank you for joining Bloody_Sorcerer and walt466
Not sure if I already welcomed melymel2789... umm who's counting Happy FolPing


@ walt466: your sig image: that is link to Haltech's stats ? Carefull with that You'll be added automagically here after you've finished first WU. Then you could ad own ID&stats- based sig from there. Patience (remember [img][/img] also with your sig])

[walt466]

Im trying to run a console and a gui at the same time, i set console to machine 1 and gui to machine 2, when i run them both end up as machine 1 and the console log shows that i am a anounmos user and no team even tho i set it in the config file. both are working fine i just need to resolve this before the console finishes its work.

[sc00p]

Did you put the -local switches... you find a guide at my sig

[walt466]

yes, i used your guide to help me set it up

[sc00p]

Not sure if restarting your os would help anything... and ofcourse you did install those instances different directories ?
I'm sorry... I'm really noobish with dual cores... *folding with old crap*

(off to work->)

Maybe good idea to shut down from task manager console and gui (don't kill cores... they stop auto after that).
Then run console with -configonly flag to put ID 2 to it and restart your os...
...I haven't have this prob... so yet not sure if that helps

EDIT: http://forum.folding-community.org/v...ic.php?t=15110
so you should open console with -configonly -local -switch, to put name,team and cpu ID info for that client. Hope this solves probs
