| Re: Folding@Home yeah, I'd say definitely ebay the fx rig while the prices are still good this is the setup I'm looking at http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813131234 http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16819103767 http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820146567 for $267 +S/H hopefully some reasonably priced 8800gt's will be in stock by then, and if not I'll get a 3850 from what I've read, the 65w windsor 5200 is a guaranteed F3 stepping which should hit 3.2+ on good air cooling  you could probably get away with a sub $300 shipped rig if you went with a regular am2 mobo with onboard video

| Re: Folding@Home I think I just snagged the worst work unit in the history of time...it's taking about 6 hours to fold 1%. It's a linux only core that it's using (a0) and apparently a few people have had the same thing with it, reading about they say that sometimes there are work units like this and that they're just as beneficial to science, so I guess I'll let it run. Not great for my point score but if it helps then I can live with it.

| Re: Folding@Home I'm still reading through the 44 pages of old threads, but I'm wondering if anyone else is running the GPU client? I've set it up with what I think will be good settings, but I've really no idea. I've a X1900Xt, running in a Dell Optiplex 280, 470w power supply, 3.2Ghz P4, 2 gigs of RAM. If I sneeze wrong the GPU client quits, but when I'm sitting here I'm mostly able to keep it running  I used the -advmethods switch, along with this config:[settings] username=snm77 team=13505 passkey= asknet=no machineid=4 bigpackets=big [http] active=no host=localhost port=8080 usereg=no [clienttype] type=3 Any suggestions? |

| Re: Folding@Home I think eric93se and jhtalisman have run the gpu client how many amps does your psu have on the 12v rail? it may not be providing enough power for the card when its under full load causing it to crash welcome to the forum BTW

| Re: Folding@Home Welcome SnM77! Good luck with the GPU client, sounds like fun and a headache at the same time. As jwill said, you PSU could not be sufficient which is leading to your problems. Also, just got a new work unit on one of my comps, Project 4122. Quite possibly the shortest WU ever, on a 1.8Ghz P4 Northwood with 512MB of PC800 Rambus, it is taking only 75 seconds per percentage. It's not yet listed on the FAH site so I'm not sure how many points it is going to be worth. Can't imaging running these WUs on a faster computer, they would probably complete in under 30mins!

If we do this all day, we can get 24x2 = 48 WUs. Even if a WU = 100 points, then a day = 4800 ppd. Much better than running SMP haha.

. I am just guessing, but I don't think it will be worth 100 points, probably more like 10.

| Re: Folding@Home Hey all, I have a question for Zevia and Jwill: How did you guys run the WU i sent via sendspace on your computers? The reason I am asking is after both of you ran it, I had the bright idea that I would move a large core_79 work unit over from a PIII system I have to a P4 system that would be much faster due to it's sse2 boost. I copied the entire work folder just like when I s |
