I see what you are saying but my sister's PC (Sempron 2300+ @ 2Ghz, 512MB DDR400) really slows down as well, regardless of the priority. I have lowered the CPU utilisation to 80% and now it's fine and my sister can do her normal stuff. On my rig (see below), I see no difference in performance.

I need 2 more days to complete my second WU as well. I dunno why but I get large ones. Hehe, maybe it detects my PC and realizes that I have a beast

im getting a bit deflated here, i see all you lot talking about how theres 2 days until your 2nd WU is finished, my 1st WU never goes down at all, i turne dit on and left it folding at 100% CPU when i went out to school this morning, that was 7 hours ago. When i got back it had actually increased the time remaining by an hour, how the hell does that wor, it seems this WU is never going to finish, i still have it folding at 75% CPU as im working, but it still has only gone down like 30 minutes in the last 3 hours. WHATS GOING ON...!!!!

It will be fine. Sometimes the time predicted changes crazily. I am glad to see Yeti join the team with some 7 WUs!! finished.

Yes Yeti is getting plenty of work done with 3 CPU's.

I'm using 2 since a couple of days.

[-0MEGA-] · 03-31-2006, 12:46 AM

Out of curiosity, can you have two of these apps running at the same time? Because i'm getting my Dual-Core laptop soon, and when im not using it i want it to be using both cores.

magicman · 03-31-2006, 12:59 AM

Apparently, reading the FAQ, you can run two "copies" of the program, but for the server not to get confused and for you to be credited for the work, you have to install the programs in seperate directories, and not just copy the files across.

ckfordy · 03-31-2006, 01:05 AM

ill join and start doing that on my computer. and once i get a computer that i got for free working ill put it on that to and run it. hopefully it will run fine on a pentium 3 with 128 mb of ram.
