no, but periodically it needs to connect in order to send in work unit data and download another work unit...if no connection it will hold the info in a queue until there is a connection available, but it also won't download another unit to work on because of no internet connection.Quote:

So all I need to do would be connect to the internet after it has completed the 500 WU benchmark thing? If, so sign me up! :)
I wish there was a feature to download like a dozen or so work units and have f@h do them all in a queue.
I convinced my roommate to lend me his server (my old box) and his PowerMac for Folding. :D Only problem is the Mac client is reeeeeeeeally slow. :( Oh well, the more the merrier. Maybe they'll get it optimized for Altivec one day...then it should fly.
(I'm Candyman963, by the way :) )
actually, you can configure it to use your dial up connection when it needs to send or retrieve a work unit...i personally don't run dial up, but i'm pretty sure a few of the members here run folding with dial up, they might be able to tell you more specifically how to set it up...i do know that there is a configuration option for folding@home to dial the same connection that internet explorer uses, so it may be as simple as just checking that box in the confugiration settings.Quote:

also, check out this thread for more information on getting up and running with folding.
Currently on my 20/500 WU. Onward to victory!
Nice. I hope you referred to the FAQ and properly set up your AMD rig?Quote:

My non-OCed-ness is folding for Sharkys.

Hehehe - I'm so evil. Basically, before I left we had 2 comps that were roughly the same - one had a better gfx card, the other a better CPU. Well...since i'm gone, my little bro decided to make one crappy and one uber computer, so he combined the best parts. The comp in my (old) room is the crappy one and my mom uses it now. I went stealth on this and set folding to run as a service...Now, I only have to do this to my little bro's computer and the plan is brought to completion. They'll never know! Muahahah! He'll be like "***! Why is this so slow all of a sudden?" :p
DAMNIT! this is talldude - i forgot my little bro is logged on this computer.
Whoa I'm really confused now. Talldude, commanderkeen is your brother?Quote:

I think you have some explaining to do!!
Yeah, I'm confused to, commanderkeen's location says Texas and talldude's location says Tennessee. How are you sharing a computer when you're that far away from eachother?
"Lucy! Yous gots some splainin to do!"
commanderkeen is his brother and chances are TallDude is visiting home or something to that degree. ;)
I just have to say, the momentum this thing has picked up is impressive. 2 weeks ago I was new and folder '42', Sharky's was not in the top 500 teams. Now there are 90 folders, increasing seemingly by the minute, and we are cracking the top 200 teams this week. Good work all, let's keep this thread bumped to the top, and more machines please.;)
Yes, I added -advmethods and -forceasm to my shortcut. I think that is right.Quote:

Yeah we appeared to hit a small rut around 5-5.5K a day production. In hindsight we were always adding cpus its just that a few major players were down. Now we seem to consistently be around a 6-6.5K a day production level. Translated we're the #32 producing team the past day. I sure would love to see us at 8K or even 10K a day. Now if we've become a 6.5K a day team in six weeks does that necessarily mean we'll be a 13K a day after 12 weeks? I rather doubt it but I also sure hope so
That would be correct. I go to Vanderbilt in Nashville...but i'm home for thanksgiving.Quote:

given the amount of rather active users we have here and the small amount of us who are currently folding, i'd say we've got a pretty good chance to grow to those levels. :)Quote:

Well, I'm about maxed out, so don't look for more production from me.
I tried to setup F@H using HideItX to hide the systray but I do not think the program is doing anything.
Is there any Easy way to hide or remove the SYStray icon?
thanks
Yep, just set it up as a system service.
