    I created an account and am downloading the client along with the optimised one right now. Will be putting my X2 4400 @ 2800Mhz to work with this project.

    no certainly not.
    Install it, and in your preferences of rosetta set the max ammount of CPU's it can use to 4. That is all you need to do

    Well, after some testing, I can say that I like it already. Very interesting stuff.

    I'm on the team! I have a LV DX rig @ 3.15GHZ and a P4E @ 3.7GHz up and running.

    This is a bit more complicated than D2OL to setup... time to get something around to make it easier (Biggest problem I had is that all the information isn't in one easy place. I was all over the place)

    Helheim's D2OL Watchdog works great with BOINC too. Might want to get in touch with him to see about a new settings file that can be posted on your Rosetta Team site (I am assuming you are making one , right?)

    i do not use any monitoring program to set the priority to low. I have never had a problem with a DC project taking over my comp and making it really slow. even on my daily user.

    oh and LV my ESC crapped out on me, it just stopped working one day so i am back to the EPoX.

    just let it go

    The ECS wasn't bad for a free board, huh?

    Guys,

    Do you know how it is possible to buffer alot of work, so that I don't have to connect all the time to upload and get new work? I mean, so I can just leave it for one day, over the night, and then in the morning get new stuff?

    Change your preferences in your account at the rosetta website to connect to network every x amount of days.

    Great to have your load of firepower with us k0nsl Welcome to the team

    Assuming you run it at all times and not just when idle you should be doing about 7000 or so a week. My daily average seems to be about 1100 a day with a good amount of gaming.

    i am getting about 900 per day from my DX @ 3.2 but i only have 512mb ram and am using major swap space. I have a nother gig or ram coming in the mail tomorrow to solve this problem. I expect it to go up quite a bit once i stop using swap space all the time.

    a DX crunching 4 WU's at the same time takes ~750mb RAM so you NEED a gig for a DX for sure.

    Well this is what I have so far and I started about this time yesterday.
    36) Payback 558.13 143.27
    I found setup confusing and am not sure at all if I have it setup to use full power of my rig. This rig is doing just this as I have another rig that is my daily. Could someone with a rig such as mine help me by pming me the correct setting? Or post them here. Thanks for the help.

    Im wondering if it better to run the xeons without HT as they will use less RAM and might be slighty quicker. Im tempted to try but havent had the time.

    Thanks for the pleasant welcome, afireinside

    I think mine is capable of 1500/day or something like that. Tomorrow I will know, because I have buffered so it won't run out of work during the night. This stuff is great. BTW, the X2 is only running at a speed of 2760Mhz right now, so it will probably produce more at 2850 or 2900Mhz.

    Another thing; is there ANY point in using a 800Mhz "Spitfire" for rosetta@home? Because I have one which could be used for that.

    I also got a 2.8Ghz Celeron (s478) but it is currently running D2OL and it only has 256mb of ram; it needs to be upgraded.

    are you sure about that???
    why don't you stop boinc and check you ram usage then start it up again and check it out. I think you are fooling your self.

    2 WU's at a time on a dedicated X2 takes ~425mb ram.

    Mine is using ~159mb of ram, only counting work which is being processed. Counting everything it uses ~209mb of ram.

    you all are gong to have to explaine that to me because my dedicated X2 uses ~452mb and my dedicated DX uses ~750mb. these computers do nothing bu crunch, they do not even have antivirus on them. the only extra process is remotedesktop.

    my non-dedicated x2 uses ~725mb ram. it is running boinc, boincview, aim, dimes, firefox and norton.

    here take a look.

    is there something i missed?? are my settings in my preferences wrong??
    here they are

    Use no more than 30 GB disk space
    Leave at least 0.1 GB disk space free
    Use no more than 85% of total disk space
    Write to disk at most every 360 seconds
    Use no more than 75% of total virtual memory

    No, you are right...closing the boinc.exe tree drops RAM usage ~350MB for me (X2), restarting it reuses 340MB of it nearly instantly. I've only been at this for a few hours so mine might climb more.....all I know is that I need to go back to 2GB!!
