Except it's not P4. It's dual P3 Coppermines.

So I should run two console instances?

**imayoda** · 11-13-2003, 01:11 AM

Yeah, just run two instances for more performance. This guide will tell you how to set it up properly. Just scroll down to advanced Folding tweaks. http://www.maximumpc.com/features/fe...003-06-10.html

Ah.. thanks. It's all set up now.

Glad to help. All the more CPU power for the team.

Ok I have a question:

I'm going to use xDUCK and Imayoda for this, I hope they don't mind. How can Imayoda have over 100 points more the xDUCK, but xDUCK has over 2x more WU's completed? I guess I'm just asking someone to explain the scoring system. Thanks

**sapasion** · 11-13-2003, 03:07 AM

Either a] xDuck was getting smaller WU's say consistent 30 pointers and yoda was getting consistent 60 points b] xDuck had an unstable OC and was dropping WU's before they finished it does seem you get credit for a WU even if you don't finish it completely or get complete points c] a combo of a & b

Its the same reason my WU's are higher than say vertices when our scores are so close ATM. I dropped a good 8-12 WU's the day I was losing my PSU and running inadequate vcore

I turned of HT today - it seemed like my 2.6 laptop was folding faster than my 3.5 desktop. Task manager reported 50% use, 50% system idle.

Anybody else have this problem?

Daywalker: read imayoda's post from 12 Nov at 11:45PM.

**freedon** · 11-13-2003, 10:50 AM

Oh yeah!! I am now 'officially' in the team, I now appear in team stats.

sapasion: I have my username changed. Instead of freedonX in SF it's just freedon (without the X)

I work at school as a lab assistant or whatever and there are 24 computers in the lab. The machines are 2.6ghz p4s 512mb ram 80gb hdds. I work on monday-wed for 5-6 hours each day. Would it be worth me installing this and running it for 4-6 hours while im there. The computers are hardly ever in use when i am there. Would it be worth it for me to run it? Would it ever complete any of the WUs or whatever yall call it while im there? Another thing is they hagve the machines setup where every time you turn off the computer the machine defaults back to the way they have it setup so i would have to install it every time i got there which shouldnt take longer than 10 min for 5- 10 computers. Another thing is the machines only have user permisions. So i dont actaully think i could install the program. Is there something that could be done about that? If not i guess im just out of luck but worth a try for research

Yeah, I read that after I posted. I guess I'll try the two console thing today.

**sapasion** · 11-13-2003, 11:24 AM

freedon got it and figured it was you

ace727861986 before you do anything ask the person in charge of the lab and likely have him ask his higher up. If you can only run the client for 5-6 hours before its uninstalled that's not enough time to complete 95% of the WU's. If you get permission and the OK, ask that they consider letting you share their computer for semi-permanent folding. In reality the client can run 24/7 without it effected the performance of the machine at all.

Daywalker refer to the FAQ and the MaxPC link. You must AFAIK you the console for HT folding

**sapasion** · 11-13-2003, 11:28 AM

BTW anyone notice vertices production kinda stopped or at least slowed massively. I wonder if there was a Power Outage so something whereever his rigs are and now that he's on his honeymoon he cannot re-start his stuff? Oh well team's doing decent with him being at full-power ATM.

**ace727861986** · 11-13-2003, 12:21 PM

could someone explain why this portein has 500000 steps? p801_p53dimer801? I know nothing about F@H so dont laugh. Is this a large wu to process or small or what? How long should it normally take? BTW i might like this so i might actually build me a farm if my parents dont get all pissed off about how much electricity its going to use :/.

**Sandro** · 11-13-2003, 12:38 PM

No, I`m on 56K and did you check out the FAQ`s thread below to see how to set it up and also don`t forget to use the user name you use here.

That's what I thought regarding 56K. And I did read the FAQ thread to properly set it up. The only thing is that you'll see me as "Sandro885" because "Sandro" was already taken up. Oh well.
