Sweet! :toast: Put a little folding logo in ur avatar if you want, then u'll be official :D.
 
We need an update on the current standings!
 
team rank 99! @ mlee click on the link below the F@H sig if you want to get one, the sig code is in that thread.
 
stolen WOO :D lol
 
I just wish they would make a F@H that intrinsically works with both cores on the 4870X2, I hope that is a priorty with them because I dont want to go through all the hassle required for it to work now...so I will let it run on one for the time being.... once that happens I will join the TPU team.
 
2p server with dual i7s HT'd. Yessir. :D

OH!

im retarded.

i thought each username could only have up to 16 machine IDs.

i think i have 13 in use so far.
 
That is how it used to be, back before SMP and GPU clients. However, now the machine ID really should be a Client ID. As every client running on a machine needs a different ID. However, you can re-use machine IDs across different machines. Since most of my clients are just CPU clients running on seperate machines, almost all of them are set to 1.

how do i limit SMP to 60% cpu utilization?

Assuming you use the console client, you can edit the advanced options and it will ask you how much to use. Default is 100, if you set it lower, it should only use as much as you set. When the SMP client first came out, this option didn't work, so I don't know if they ever fixed it.

[21:31:50] Configuring Folding@Home...

User name [newtekie1]?
Team Number [50711]?
Passkey []?
Use proxy (yes/no) [no]?
Acceptable size of work assignment and work result packets (bigger units
may have large memory demands) -- 'small' is <5MB, 'normal' is <10MB, and
'big' is >10MB (small/normal/big) [big]?
Change advanced options (yes/no) [no]? YES
Core Priority (idle/low) [idle]?
CPU usage requested (5-100) [100]? <-----Set this to 60
Disable highly optimized assembly code (no/yes) [no]?
Pause if battery power is being used (useful for laptops) (no/yes) [no]?
Interval, in minutes, between checkpoints (3-30) [5]?
Memory, in MB, to indicate (2047 available) [2047]?
Set -advmethods flag always, requesting new advanced
scientific cores and/or work units if available (no/yes) [yes]?
Ignore any deadline information (mainly useful if
system clock frequently has errors) (no/yes) [no]?
Machine ID (1-16) [1]?
If you are seeing the following message even though a service is not installed
in this folder, you probably have conflicting machine IDs. Correct this and run
the configuration again.
Launch manually, remove the service in this directory (no/yes) [no]?
The following options require you to restart the client before they take effect
Disable CPU affinity lock (no/yes) [no]?
Additional client parameters. Use space to clear. [-smp]?
IP address to bind core to (for viewer) []?

You're gonna have to rephrase that entire statement, I have no idea what you're trying to say. :laugh:
 
ok, basically what are the benifits of folding@home? and are the benifits for me or others?
