I finally got around to setting this up on both of my comps at home (Barton 2500 and TBird 1.4, soon to be a third added). I still need to do the tweaks for AMD systems, but at least they're running.

CONQUER ON!!
I haven't reinstalled folding since I formatted my HD, maybe it's about time I do that ;)
You've got one more folder on the list. I would have an old P3 laptop folding as well, but I gave it to my cousin for school (doh!) :o .
Good to see so many joining. A month ago I set what I thought was an unrealistic goal of the top 250 by Year's End. Needless to say we've already cleared that Mark. That victory will serve as our Helm's Deep. For indeed, at the onset victory seemed impossible but by the marshalling of our combined strength we did achieve it.
Now we aim for the top 100 by Year's End. Can we do it? It will be difficult. Many current members are anticipating the loss of some cpu production during the Thanksgiving & Christmas breaks. Thus we will need reinforcements. We need more cpus. Helm's Deep was a massive achievement. Now we have Battle of the Pelennor Fields. It will be longer and harder than before. We will need to draw upon all our alliances to achieve victory here.
Now for wrath
Now for ruin
And the red dawn
I'll be sure to leave my computer on here at school while I'm at home for Thanksgiving break ;) . Unfortunately I won't be able to leave it on over christmas break and my parent's computer will not be on when it is unused at home, so no folding during down time. You will get about one more month exactly out of me and then I will have to take a break until January 25 or so.Quote:

I'm running it 24/7 on my P3 /1.0
I'll see if I can get a couple friend's machines going too. I'm Big_Mac. (well no duh I'm big mac!!! I forgot what display name I used on this forum temporarily)
DO you have to be connected to the internet while running this?
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:
