What's the best WU type to get? I use the -advmethods tag, and my laptop always gets 500s while my desktop gets 2500s.

Sounds fantastic. You wanted some in-team competition and from the looks of things you are vertices are nearly at the same level of production for the past week according to Statman. It will be interesting when he gets back from his honeymoon if he also increases his load. Also I'm going to have to increase my own I'm dropping back to around #6 for the past week
IMO those are the best ones. 500's count in increments of 5 and 2500's count in increments of 25 sound every frame is still 1%. These are generally 33-38 or 51-53 pointers which at least for me give me the best time/performance ratio.Quote:

what are these 2500 ones? of the near 400 WU's i've done for the project, (most on my own time, just recently started folding for sharky) i've never recieved a 2500 :confused:
here's a question for y'all: how many of your folding rigs will be down for a while over the holidays? I imagine we have a number of people taking long vacations or (like me) going home from college. Not that I exactly make-or-break our production ;), but both my computers will be down for 3 weeks.
They can't fold without you to watch them?
i know mine will be down over thanksgiving break, and i probably won't have internet access for 5 weeks over xmas break. :(
I went ahead and put it on the 800MHz celeron we have as well. My rig and the that one stay up 24/7 so they'll be churning away. I'll be sure to keep em up over the holiday break ;)
all 3 of mine will be running solid through thanksgiving and christmas, although there may be a short day or 2 break after christmas, i may be getting new hardware and several of the systems here may get re-installs with upgrades :)
I'm not gonna leave my rigs running 24/7 for three weeks while i'm 1000 miles away. especially given the wiring in my apartment: it's so ghetto that in a 2-bedroom apt, theres only ONE 120V CIRCUIT. there are a total of 4 three-prong outlets in the whole place, and only 2 of them are really grounded. i'd be ASKING my computers to spontaneously combust, surge protector or no. there's my little my-building-sucks rant, hope you enjoyed. :)
Just do what I used to do in college, go to all the computer labs install it on each computer and watch your score skyrocket.Quote:

That's a very dangerous practice that is not endorsed by Folding@Home, or our team. Borging without permission could land the borger in serious troubles. Always ask permission before installing the client on a machine that is not solely yours.Quote:

Don't worry, I only did this with my own team. I just figured that if the entire university was gonna install Kazaa and steal music I might as well leach some CPU power for a good cause. It didn't really work very well anyway since only 1 workunit would get done before the program was deleted or turned off.Quote:

OK Good. Without question those of you in college or with access to Ghz and Ghz of machines might be tempted. Furthermore, I am certain this is going on, especially in some of the largest teams. However, ethics and integrity mandate us to avoid this practice. Believe me I know how the logic goes... well its for a good cause... it does not negatively affect the computer... who'll know? Now for the record I have no problem with any Team Member if he/she gets permission to use an entire network, group or lab of pcs.
Seriously guys, Ask before installing the client on school/business systems. You have no idea how harsh the penalties have become for tampering with a secure network. Many non profit organizations will let you have the use of some systems so long as you ask first and show your ability to manage it. There are even a few companies that will give you some cycles if you ask.
