She's up and running. I'm at work now, so she's just happily folding away.
Tonight I'll make sure I've got all the "tips & tricks" to increase output. I didn't realize there had been so many changes. Last time I did Folding I was in college. It was pretty basic. Now there are different versions for different CPUs. Crazy stuff.
But, I'm in. Both feet in. Well, I guess my computer has 4 feet, so all 4 are in!
FOLD AWAY!
The key is getting everything optimized if you have an AMD cpu. For intel the only reason thing you need is the -avdmethods flag to ensure Gromacs WU's.Quote:

I'm in, chuggin along at 3.72 GHz. Hopefully you'll see some stats under my name shortly. :D
As soon as that first WU is finished and uploaded. Then it takes Stanford about 30-40 minutes to get you onboard. https://www.sharkyforums.com/Quote:

Something just dawned on me here. The third crusade is being championed by a surf! LOL go figure. Some of you loyal Knights need to get on up here and take over.
Maybe you need to be Knighted then ;)Quote:

i think many of us knights don't have the resources to put forth such an effort...you have 11 processors running for folding, i have 3, so i should catch you in about...oh.....never ;) :pQuote:

Knights and Crusaders alike will not be able to catch him. It's like he's on Shadowfax, never to be caught or outpaced...;) :DQuote:

According to Statman vertices a Knight though one who doesn't advertize it is very close to matching the pace of Thermo. Its all good though. The Folding Team will likely be bigger and more far reaching than the OC Crusaders ever were or will be. I have offered Knighthood to Thermo. Whether he accepts it or not is less important than the tremendous production he gives to our Folding Team. Make no mistake as fond as I am of the OC Crusaders, the Folding Team is my #1 priority now.
Come on now, 3 of the chips are 500MHz, and the next one is a 933. The two AMD rigs are 2100 Pally's, not a high point in the history of AMD. My dually is Willamette Xeons and one of my P4's is a tired old Willomette. I should add that the 2.0 Willy w/Rdram is killing the 2.0b on DDr. There is a 2.53 and the Laptop has a 2.4, but neither of them is all that much by todays standards.

That depends on how many more foot soldiers that KoaTiK can get. :D Edit to add: those of you who are reading this thread and have not joined up yet, do so, we need what ever horse power you can add. ;)Quote:

Well based on today’s output, the mounts name must be Seabiscuit.
Why not Folding team = OC crusaders? Oh and I think we should put a link on the front page of our 3dmark team website.Quote:

Anyways my p2 400mhz has been folding solid for 24 hours and im at 40/500! I need that lotto ticket!:D :p :o
Well, I just completed my last Seti unit (think I'd done around 500 by the end).
Now my CPU's being put to better use. :)
How long does it usually take to 'fold' a unit? (obviously taking into account my cpu:p)
Go to folding FAQ`s here http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthre...hreadid=214078 BTW, welcome to the team.Quote:

That doesn't really answer my question, it's all about configuration.Quote:

Nevermind, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. :)
The best way I have found out to get a good estimate on how long a WU will take is by waiting after it has been running little while and go to the log file and take the time of the last count and subtract it from the one finished before it and multiply it by 100 and divide it by 60.Quote:

Those links at the end of the FAQ's were pretty good too actually.
Welcome aboard V5500 :D. If you're using that Barton at 2.4Ghz in your sig you're probably going to complete around 2 WU's a day average and amass around 80-90 points a day. Some WU's are larger 60+ points and those will of course take longer than the small 35 and smaller WU's. How much you use your machine for non-folding also will affect times a bit. If you fold 24/7 you should accrue over 3K points by Christmas Eve and the close of the contestQuote:

When you're main rig gets online that will speed up. I like the 3DMark Team website link idea. Man if we could get a fraction of those guys to join... yummy. Folding Team is a separate entity from the Crusaders and always will be. Many Crusaders are Folders and vice versa but they're not mutually exclusive. In time I foresee the Folding Team becoming SF's greatest internal sub-group.Quote:

Come on people, stop dragging your feet and join today, we need you.
although I don't post much here I joined early yesturday morning. 455/500 on my first WU! :D
