I followed the link and downloaded the beta version. Is there a speed bonus in using the beta with -forceSSE instead of the normal with -forceasm?
Also, I'm officially on the board with 71 points.:D

Way to go Waisztarroz!:)
Alright I'm in.... better late then never.
Watch out Thermo here I come!! har har
Also curious to the answer of this question.Quote:

Can someone tell me how to do this as well. No it is not to set it up on other peoples computers. ;) I'm just curious to how you would go about doing something like this. thanks.Quote:

Yep, just set it up as a system service.
Nevermind I see how its a switch.

i think thebove expains it pretty well right there...Quote:

also, what kind of processors do you have it running on? if it's AMD, you need to add the -forceasm flag (for the 3.24 & 3.25 clients) or the -forceSSE flag (for 4.0 prerelease client). if it's intel you don't need to do this, but for AND it will boost your speed considerably.
I'm looking for the difference between the beta and the normal, not what the flags do.Quote:

except of course for my typo...AND should be AMD...fixed now, but still... :o ;)Quote:

you mean the difference between the 3.24 and 3.25, or between the 3.xx and 4.0 client?Quote:

if it's between the 3.24 and 3.25, there should be theoretically NO difference, because they use the same processing core. in real life however, there may be differences due to the fact that the 3.24 will only SOMETIMES use SSE on work units that can have SSE instructions run on them (gromacs units), even with the -forceasm flag....that's the main reason there is a 3.25 version, as it will always allow SSE to be run on capable work units....
the difference between the 3.xx client and 4.0 client is likely to be none, again, because it's just the client (the interface) that's different, it's still the same core doing the actual processing power.
Hi, Question about system stability with Windows XPSP1. I have a ATI 9200 video card at 1.7V, can it handle that? The video card has a small fan and the case temps are right around 30C. I don't play games on it just movies.
I had some instability problems folding and doing anything video related, this was when the video voltage was at 1.5V. When I bumped it to 1.6V life was good again I could watch a DVD no problem and have it folding in the background. Well, the computer just rebooted doing some very simple surfing over a modem and so I bumped the Vcore to 1.575 and the video to 1.7V. System temps don't seem to be affected 43C CPU temp.
Can good quality hardware run 24/7 for years? I just don't want to be too suprised a year from now. Thanks, Mark
99!!!
We made it below hundred before the end of the year!
Congratulations to all the folding sharks out there.
And a Merry Christmas.
We did break into the top 100 by Christmas. Keep it up! HoHoHo! Merry Christmas!:D
Dang! You beat me to it. :)Quote:

Back to 100 ATM, we need to keep pushing to get a good foothold here!
I have two XP's that both behave identically so I think it's kind of representive for XP's in general. When 3.24 is used, together with the -forceasm command, the XP's start with "extra SSE-boost OK" when the client is started. However, when the machine is left alone and picks up a new package it will start with "extra 3DNow boost OK". When you shut down and restart the client it will proceed with SSE boost. Difference on package I was working on at that moment: 50%! 6 min per percent on SSE and 12 on 3DNow. It will depend on the package but I'm not sure about the speeddifference on the other XP at that moment cause I didn't check :eek: 4.00beta used with the -forceSSE command uses SSE regardles of clientrestart or 'unattended' restart. Both my XP's run 4.00 and speed has increased significantly.Quote:

that is one of the problems with the 3.24 client. even with the -forceasm tag, it will not always use SSE boost. that is the reason why most people are using the 3.25 beta, because with the tag, it uses the SSE boost all of the time, not just some of the time.Quote:

Grr if only I had woken up and started sooner.. I'm slowly breakin the ranks started folding yesterday.Quote:

XJ, you are cookin! GREAT job! Wow you are moving up!;)
Yeah, go XJ -- you'll be passing Gus soon at that pace! :DQuote:

I just realized... I have a computer with an XP 2100+ (I don't remember the chip type) that's just sitting around... all it needs is an ethernet card and a hard drive and it could fold. I might try to get it running soon.
Must.... Fold .... Faster.....Quote:

RealBeast, you are an agitator:mad: , BUT I LOVE IT:p . BTW, I've been talking to my daughter's 850 Duron, RB, (that's shorthand for you, RealBeast) and "mighty" Duron tells me that with a few #2 lead pencil tricks, I might be able to put a whoopin on ole' RB:D
OK, my goal is to try and reach 3000 points by Dec 24th err.. I mean to help sharky's to stay safely below the 100 mark..
Edit: Ack! 100 posts in 3 years that has to be a record or something.
Someone write that one down....
sucks using a modem to fold, wasn't credited for the last one completed:(
I'm building a second system using spare parts to fold and want to share the modem and monitor. How do I do this? Both motherboards have LAN ports, can I network the two and install 3.24 on the second computer? Do they make network routers that accept a serial connection from a modem?
This is fun, folding even heats my room so I don't see my breath anymore:p
It will eventually get uploaded and you'll get credit -- I've had finished WUs hanging around on my machines for several days. Keep the faith, and fold on!Quote:
