Sounds like you will be chasing me down in no time.

Congratulations on reaching 100K.

can my ps3 fold for XS and how many ppd will it get?

EDIT: ps3 internet broken

**HuffPCair** · 07-18-2009 11:29 PM

Well I finally go back to work this Monday after being laid off so hopefully I can start saving up for a better GPU like a 285 I am hoping or maybe just building a new rig so then I can have two quad cores doing WCG and two GPUs folding.

Glad to hear you found work,

Yeah it has sucked being a college student and not working. I am back installing fiber optic, CAT cables again so I will be making good money. I am thinking of maybe building an i7 rig even. I have seen so many people building Lian Li cases that I want to just buy one and make it fancy and leave this one to crunch and fold all day and crunch and fold with that one and game when I want to kind of thing.

We will see though.

My 285 is now folding. Makes an annoying high tone though, probably a cap.

Will be adding a W3570 later.

Found that my HD4870 would hum a little when folding. So I set it back to normal clock settings and now it is fine.
So you might consider underclocking the card a smig.
It will probably stop the annoying tone and also generate less heat.
Just a thought.

Thanks for your add to the team output!

Don't worry about the hissing from your card though, it's perfectly normal for nV cards. They all have it, some more, some less, and it get's worse the more juice you dump into it and the higher you clock it. It takes some extreme measures to completely silence it, but no one on our team tried that. Yet.

**v0dka** · 07-28-2009 02:48 AM

Thanks for the welcome.

Getting around 7 or 8k a day with this card. Sounds about right?

And could you please give me a basic idea of how to setup the incomgin Xeon for maximum output? I assume I have to use the smp client right? Or would it be better to just throw the Xeon on WCG and exclusively use GPU's to fold?

Yup, sounds about right. With a bit of overclocking and depending on WU you might get as much as 7-10K PPD.

If you want to have the maximum PPD for fah you'd need to setup VMWare and run several Linux SMPs. They get the a2 core for folding, resulting in quite a boost. For that you'd need at least 6GB with your new Xeon, better is 12 (I'm running 4 VMs consistenly resulting in a bit over 10k PPD@4.2GHz). Second to that is the Windows high performance client, resulting in half the PPD. But as you said you could also run WCG on the CPU and fold on your GPU. It's your choice. Everything is possible.

**v0dka** · 07-28-2009 03:43 AM

Got 6GB. Sounds interesting and I would really like to try running linux in VM. But it's probably quite a task to get that up and running.

YMAA helped me get my SMP clients running in VMware.
All you need is the VMware Player.

Here is a easy guide for setting them up.

VMware is very stable and the clients run great.

I just added a new user id to replace my old f@h username. New user id is "D_J01". Started folding this morning.

**OldChap** · 12-25-2009 11:41 AM

Welcome (again) glad to have you with us

revlimiter9000 · 12-25-2009 03:00 PM

Thank you. Feels good to be back.

revlimiter9000 · 12-26-2009 11:08 AM

Just as a note to my fellow F@H team members I will be changing my sn to D_J01. I know I will have to start posting from the beginning.

**Sparky** · 12-26-2009 02:05 PM

revlimiter9000. Sounds very familiar. But what happened to your username? Guest? What?

But welcome back!

**coo-coo-clocker** · 12-28-2009 06:25 AM

Names...Schnames....what's in a name?
Welcome back to the team - thanks for (re)joining!

**D_J01** · 12-28-2009 09:10 AM

Thanks. Feels good to be back.

**pwnajer** · 08-20-2010 10:14 AM

Im in

...been a long time since I ran this progy...feels good to be back to folding.

**ryno** · 06-20-2011 08:44 AM

been running for a long while slowly climbing in postion

**Yeroon** · 09-07-2012 08:37 AM

I added this team for my folding gpu. Is this the right spot to post this info? Still the right team number?
