Should I do this folding thing?

Any speed would be good since you are helping out. I am folding on a 500Mhz Celeron at work and it has finished 3 WUs so far. Nothing major but it's only on 24hrs a week.

Old? Old is having your 300mhz 10 year old celeron with a wopping 32mb of ram and a 120gig hard drive (wait...what?) folding for you.

The only problem with my server folding is that its working on 20,000 frames, and evertime it gets to 500 something messes it up. The first time was a couple days ago it got to 500 and then my sister kicked it, and when it restarted the log file goes "file Wusomething.ect doesnt match, starting from begining" Just about an hour ago it finaly got to 599 just about to hit 600 and there was a power surge in our neighborhood, and when it restarted...same stupid message. Oh well, working in win98 isnt supposed to be fun.

Hey, we're finally back up to where we used to be, 8300 points in the last 24 hours. Was F@H moving their servers for that long, or did we jsut have a foldingless time?

Hey, I can start folding again since I got my rig up and running! I'm downloading now!

m0nk3ys1ms · 11-25-2006, 12:25 AM

And I'm folding! I will more than likely be folding whenever I'm not playing any games on my PC (I don't like to put a whole lot of load on my CPU), so basically....20/7, lol
