Who wants to cure disease for team 36362?

[GAM]

to the fold Danger30Q! It's great to have you and the all the other new folders on board!

[jimwah]

Hi Danger30Q, F@H should be fine on your server OS, it's quite a straightforward app, all it really needs is CPU time & a network connection, it shouldn't interfere with anything else.

[Eluzion]

I'm in. Was folding on my PS3 before I sold it, but figured I should run it on my PC since it's always on.

[GAM]

Good to hear Eluzion. Fold on...

[justin_c]

we definitely need a PS3 folding farm. the top 5 threats are powered by ps3s....

[jimwah]

Welcome to the team Eluzion

@justin c they are just threatening due to sheer numbers at the moment, like this team http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...php?s=&t=54376 page after page of active users, not with massive ppd. We could do with some of that

[embeejay]

Yes our main weakness at the moment is because we are so few people - we actually have a very nice output for the number of people on the team. Ofcourse this is mainly due to angra who pulls about 1/4 - 1/3 the weight for our entire team

more people are needed for the cause!

btw i'll get a c2d more soon, lets see if i can fit a folding client on it

I have an old computer with a 2.8Ghz P4 that is mostly idle during the day while I'm @ class. Guess I'll put that time to good use now.

Just joined today, hoping i can help the cause... and score you guys some points, it will be running whenever my machine is on, which is about 16 hours a day.

Welcome Mad Pistol & ForeverAgain (sounds like a movie title putting those names together)

If you run in to any problems, or want to poke fun at someone you're about to overtake, make a post or contribute to any of the threads in here

[ForeverAgain]

I do have a few questions about configuring/optimizing the program. IS there any settings i should set for the program to perform any better? i have the "Allow receipt of work assignments and return of results greater than 5MB..." under connections. Also, i set up the screen saver under the display settings, do i have to do anything else than just tick that box? And last, on the machine this is running on i have a Pentium D dual core, if i set it up to run on both cores, will it have any drastic effects on my machine?

Thanks!

[jimwah]

Have a look at the link in my sig to some setup guides, or some of the stickied threads around here; the text-only client is likely to improve performance, and you will need to configure 2x folding clients (with slightly different settings - ie machine ID's)to use both cores at once.

Have a read of the threads, dont be daunted, it looks like a lot of setting up, but it's generally quite straightforward & we'll do what we can to help out

[sephiroth8748]

I just joined started folding for xtreme. my username is "foamy". ill try to keep my comp on as much as i can

[Sparky]

Which client are you running? On that rig I would suggest running the SMP client

[jimwah]

Welcome sephiroth, nice rig mate

[Kaze06]

First post..yaay .

I've decided to join up with my completely uber PC that totally blows everyone else's away .

U/N is kaze06 .

I will most likely be able to throw F@H onto a couple of other rigs to make up for my complete lack of awesomeness.

[Sparky]

[embeejay]

Haha Kaze06, thats the spirit mate, welcome to the team, join the fun, you are most welcome

[GAM]

[sc00p]

Kaze06... I assume you're a friend of Sparky's (<-that you're from Ohio) ?

[phcjpp]

Just starting to sign my computers up - 4 of em.

[Sparky]

Great, welcome phcjpp!

[Exal]

Well I just dedicated both my cores to folding, the machines running 24/7 anyways, always thought it was a waste just letting it stand there, now it has a purpose!

[GAM]

to the fold, new folders!



On another note, I've got 3 new WU's - project 2614 (Gromacs33 - 287pts). For some reason, even after multiple 'Download New Projects' on FahMon, their details are 'N/A' in FahMon. Anyone know any reason why it is taking so long to update/retrieve the project details?
