And do they have Folding up and going on the HD 2000 series yet?

last I had seen on their site, or on the support forums, it doesn't look that way. But, I've noticed they tend to be a little slow to update the main site with new info.


I've become a little aggitated with my father seeing as how he keeps shutting down my rig while I'm at work during the day. The complain that it costs them to much for the electircal bill - I offered to pay them the $.50 a day my computer uses, which is still far and above how much power the rig is actually consuming under full-boogey load, but they still don't believe me, so . . . in retaliation D ) I've installed the CPU console as an idle background service on both of his computers (which are running all day while he's home - he's retired). I wonder how long it will take him to notice they're running . . .

Oh, if anyone needs it, it seems the GPU console has finally been updated to 6.


Also - has anyone had any problems with the new CPU console 6 beta1? The console reported this morning that the client died and wouldn't run at all, so I had to re-load console 5.

I've joined the fold with my main rig, using my spare core. I really only use 1. When I'm at school or elsewhere I will use 2 if I can remember. CPU is at 2650MHz for now, will go for 2750MHz, I know it's stable there.

//me wants phenom now for folding :/

I want a quad

 

[p_o_s_pc]

Are they trying to get the Nvidia GPU to fold?If they get it to work on the 7900 than i would be more than happy to use my GPU that runs at 595mhz 24/7 602mhz benching.

 

[hat]

Just use your cpu. I use my second core so it doesn't affect anything I do, yet I still benefit TPU and all of humanity

set the affinity of FahCore_78.exe to CPU 1, uncheck CPU 0.

Or if you have a Quad, use CPU 2 and CPU 3

 

[newtekie1]

Just use all your cores. It won't affect anything you do as long as the thing you are doing has a higher priority. It doesn't affect games.

I can't believe that im in 4th overall and I haven't done a smp since 8-02-2007

 

[Steevo]

I should be back to normal shortly, before newtekie takes over first. And hopefully all my new systems will be built here shortly. I have been wondering about trading my new system here for at work a quad core. You know, as it is outadated.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

Are the Nvidia users ever going to be able to use the GPU for folding?

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just curious how much a Celeron 500MHz with 256MB SDRAM in sinlge channel will contribute to this project?

 

[Steevo]

More than nothing. So it is worth it.

 

[newtekie1]

More than nothing. So it is worth it.

Agreed.

 

[hat]

Ok, the only problem is I only have one monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc... all that good stuff. I can hook it up to the internet, I would just have to get it folding and just leave it that way.

Also, there's no clockgen for that particular motherboard.

 

[Steevo]

If i had the space I would have my dual proccy Pentium Pro machine, and my AMD550 folding. But while we work on our home we are limited on space for storage and living.

The 500MHz celery with 128 or 256MB SDRAM, with a highly optomized services.msc using only nescessary sercvices has joined the fold.
Folding 24/7 for TPU:
One instance of the DOS F@H on:
5200+ @ 2680MHz
Crucial DDR2533 @ 268MHz 4-4-4-12-12-1T

and one instance of DOS F@H on:
Celery 500MHz 128kb l2 cahce heh
128 or 256MB SDRAM unknown speed and timings

all 24/7.

 

[hat]

I may be adding a 733MHz PIII with 256 or 512MB of RAM to this. That's MAY.

 

[Behemoko]

I used to fold on my PC, but it became corrupt, so now I only fold on my PS3.. :-( I wish I could fold on my pc, because I would use my v-card.

 

[hat]

Found the specs of machine 3. 500MHz PIII, 384MB RAM.
Anways, the program (console version, just liek the other 2), is not recieving the work packets. Obviously, I have an internet connection here. Windows firewall is configured to allow it, the only other protective software is AVG Antivirus, bit it's just an AV... no firewall.

 

[Steevo]

Do not use Internet Explorer settings.
Sometimes it takes a few hours to get a work packet depending on what time of day, if there are alot of WU's being requested, or work being submitted it can overrun the servers.

 

[hat]

I don't!!
will leave it trying

 

[hat]

Is it worth setting up DSL (damn small linux) on the 500MHz Celeron for 24/7 folding? Will the speed increace be worth the pain of trying Linux for the first time, ableit for a simple purpose?

File I/O error

When I try to run more than one instance of F@H on my dual-core rig I get an I/O error, why?

 

[Solaris17]

ya i got that too i was like wtf?

 

[hat]

OK, I found out that to do. You need two F@H folders, and two F@H .exes. Make shortcuts of both to your desktop, and configure them both independantly (you'll need to go and change the machine ID. They both cant be 1, it's like trying to have 2 wtf.txt files in the same folder. Use 1 and 2). Then fold. X2.
