Common, you basically have less frames but a more complicated calculation to do. We are folding to help and the competing side of the matter should go aside, although it is fun) I now have a 20,000 frame WU and it's projected to take 3 days and a few hours (@ 15f/s). However, the last WU I was working on had 5,000 frames but each frame took about 50 seconds +. Therefore, we should not really care about points but rather about whether our TEAM is doing well or not and what impact that could have on research

P.S.: Tinker cores get higher points actually

Im not sure why it says this, but i just got a 12500 frame and it says its going to take 260 days to complete...

EDIT: 20 minutes later it updated, so now its at 1 day.

Yeah the client takes some time before it calculates an estimation of the time it will take to complete the WU. Hence, the figure may be very high for a short period of time.

I knew that was the case, since once i first recieved it said that there was around 5,000 days left, but then about a minute later it went down to 260, but when it didnt go down after 20 minutes i thought something was wrong.

ill be done with my 4th WU tommorrow hopefully. been keeping the CPU usage at 100%.

[-0MEGA-] · 04-10-2006, 11:44 PM

It seems like im not using mine to full capacity, since it only uses 50%. I wish they made a dual-core version.

That would be awesome if i got my school to load folding@home on all of their PC's... (with my user name of course

)
