The fist results of Hammer folding are in. OC’ing is not an option for folding, I can’t manage the waste heat. But it folds nice at baseline. It did an 803 in 9min/per, and it’s doing a 549 in<8min/per. And that is without SSE.

Hmmm, humbly speaking, that's not so great is it? 9 mins per frame on a 32 point 803 implies the WU took around 15 hours. Which in turn implies that cpu is only capable of 52ish Points Per Day. Now the >8min in the 33 point 549 implies the WU will take say 13 hours. This in turn suggests a dails Production level closer to 60 points. Still that FX/51 I believe is at what 2.2GHz. That's only giving you a PPDPG of 25-28. Now of course SSE makes a big difference. 20% is the common figure people throw around but even with SSE that'd only up you to the 30-34 range which is still a lower PPDPG than Tbreds and Bartons.
Of course its great that you're increasing your total production level. But I was sort of thinking that the FX-51 would be a moderately better folder than the Barton. I don't know perhaps when you can get a better cooler, you can enable SSE and maybe then the boost will be much greater than 20%
Whats up guys? I'm back!:)
Had a great time on the honeymoon, wedding also went perfect.:)
Although I just came home and found that my net connection died out at my house right after I left requiring a reboot of my Cable UBR.
So half of my folders could not get a new WU for over a week.:(
Oh well, all is fine again now.:)
Yup, I damn sure hit a wall with no internet for over a week.:(Quote:

Great, to have you back, now we can start climbing the ladder that much faster and you can provide Thermo and KaoTiK some competetion.:)Quote:

If i was going to reformat my computer and i had a 2500 WU at 50% would it be possible for me to backup the files in the folder that it created and when i have finished reinstalling the os put the files back and start it back at 50%?
i have an athlon xp 2500+ (check sig)Quote:

here's a screenshot

Just check your log file and see if it says extra sse boost at the start of the WU, it looks like you have it set up the way it should be.

i think i have it now
Yes, your all set, fold on.:)
Welcome back nice to hear everything went so well. As you can see the Folding Team has been racing during your absence. With your powers restored we're even more likely to crest the 5K a day plateau that we're close to now. We all figured something like this happened to ya. Seeing you pass me a second time will be better than the first.Quote:

when i start up my computer i get this dos command thing that stays open and is like identical to my logfile...
https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/...2003/11/19.jpg
can i close that and still have the tweaked benefits? i'm sure i can and all but i just want to make sure
edit to add: oh yeah and is there a way to choose what kind of WU you get?
i want to get big ones like the 2500's for a computer that i'm like never at so i don't have to worry about signing online with it as often to send the results when it finishes
What has happened is you have gotten the console version instead of the graphic version, you might want to download and use the graphical version. Edit: you might want to wait until you finish the work order before doing this. AFSIK, you can`t choose which WU`s you get.
That appears to be the actual program running the folding.. So closing that will stop the folding process :)Quote:

I believe when you install F@H it places a shortcut in startup.. That you want to either remove or edit.. Since it will NOT have the command switches (if that is not the one you had edited)
i have and am using the normal version with the graphics and all but the prompt thing pops up when i start my computer becuase i put the 4.0beta thing in my startup folder.Quote:

and it does continue to fold when i close the prompt thing i was just wondering if it was still tweaked for my amd :) which i think it is
however... i do have the console version of the 4.0 beta... wow, i'm confused
