Well, since I've only got a single rig to screw around with, I dunno if I should switch from SETI to F@H...
Hell, look at my stats! I've crunched over 6 solid months! I don't want to abandon it again! (I had a LONG hiatus awhile ago)
Edit: And does the same thing apply to F@H? Is the Console box faster than the graphic box?
look at it this way: any ETs worth finding would find us first. :D but they might not have a cure for cancer with them when they show up. :p "Joiiiiinnnn Usssss..."Quote:

well dangit! i keep pulling ahead and then falling behind again!!! :mad: :mad: dangit speedy!! ;) :D :) you know i'm just joking right. and i really think i should push up my oc. i don't think i'm going to be able to compete with you guys with only 2.1GHz...:(
and congratulations to the team to breaking 1k!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE ROCK!!!
Your dlt3c should be able to do at least 2.3ghz...have you found a max oc yet? And yes, it is kinda suspenseful as you pull ahead and then i do back and forth...and i know you're just joking around.:p :DQuote:

congrats on the marriage vertices!!:D
i've actually had this chip up to 2525MHz and i think i can push it farther, i just get a little bit nervous with all that vcore...but it really is still in managalbe levels...so i guess i will just have to see.Quote:

oh...and i should have said this before!

You got that because you don't have the client maximized. That's a 71 point WU admittedly but its going to take you almost two days to complete. Here's what you wanna do this should be a sticky: Close down the client and go to the Folding@Home folder and delete the FaH_65 Core. Now go to stanford's page and DL either the 3.25beta or perhaps the 4.00 beta though the jury is still out on this one. Save the beta to your Folding@home folder and make a shortcut of it. Cut and Paste the shortcut in your startup folder, Make the following adjustments to the shortcut by right clicking and selecting properties. Then make the highlighted line look like mineQuote:

i guess i got a 400? :eek: is that good or bad?

Mind you this is for 3.25beta for 4.00beta instead of -forceasm make it -forceSSE. advmethods will enable you to receive and work on Gromacs Wu's which utilize SSE and have a far better WU points/time ratio than the Tinker WU's like the one you referenced above. forceasm or forceSSE keeps SSE active for AMD cpus. This is not necessary for Intel but it is for AMD cpus which support SSE. Re-boot is also probably necessary. Upon restart you should have a faH-78 core instead. These little tweaks will more than double and perhaps triple your weekly WU points.
For an Intel system would the 3.24 be just as fast as the 3.25 beta? Can you add -advmethods to 3.24?
Not at all. I tried a very little bit of SETI awhile back and used both Console and GUI and yes it was a significant difference. With Folding@Home the difference is minimal to non-existent. I've been reading up on this more and more trying to get the most accurate answer. When 100% of your cpu cycles can go to folding its thought by most that the minimzed GUI is equal to the console. Those few who disagree will give no more than a 1% edge to the console. Its during cpu usage where the debate looms. Many more people believe the console takes less of a hit than the minimzied GUI however unlike SET the GUI is actually the more stable of the two during heavy cpu usage. If you open the GUI display then of course the performance hit increases. How great the difference may or may not be is debateable. However, again we're talking about fractions here. The greatest console proponents will not promulgate more than a few % points advantage during heavy loads and at the end of the day how long are you really under heavy loads. I myself have read enough and did start with the console initially. I am convinced the difference is neglible. I will continue with the GUI until it is substantially proven to me that I am wrong and there is a moderate edge with the GUI.Quote:

Finally sure I want you to switch. I could make a persuasive list but in the end its your choice. I just hope you make the right, wise one and join us ;).
Yes and Yes. Every Folder should have advmethods. Since Intel doesn't need a special flag for SSE its a non issue but absolutely you want to be working with Gromacs WUs. While I was at work today I did 2 803's at home for 32 points a piece. 64 points in little over 13 hours from one rig. I love these 803's and those 549's; I think they're what's keeping me in your slipstream.Quote:

Wow, I'd love to get a few of those. Right now the Intel P4 2.85GHz that's working for me isn't using advmethods, I will get on that tomorrow. Right now I'm working on a 844 that's only going to give me 11.5 points... :mad:Quote:

OK, I broke the 4000 barrier last night, 300 more points should see me solidly into the 5% class.
Well, that didn't take long. 5% is history.:D :D :D
The Thermolian hoards found 5% to be totally undefended. There was little glory to be had and even fewer honors. The fortifications fell in the dark of night as the resistance just dropped away. Perhaps I will let the folders loot and pillage awhile, as we await word of the next battle.Quote:

Now that we are flush with the ecstasy of victory at Helms Deep, and embarking on a long tactical campaign to control middle earth, I think I’ll take Taskforce Thermodyne and make a flanking assault on the 5% bracket. I wouldn’t want my elite folders to get fat and lazy from a long drawn out infantry campaign. Then perhaps continue on with the goal of arriving at 10K in time to spend the winter holidays there.
I'm in. I swapped from www.grid.org last night.
