Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

I just set my computer up to start folding. It's only a P4 3.2Ghz with 512 ram, but it will sit here running on its own for 20 out of 24 hours everly day, and those other 4 hours are just forum running. So every little bit helps, Can't wait to go C2D.

How long should it take me to complete 1 unit with my computer specs?

I would say about 3 days(ish) running non stop. It also just depends on the work assigned to your computer.

Anywhere from 20 hours to 10 days. It all depends on which one you get.

yeah, I'm mostly through one already.

New question: Is there a beta FAH for Windows Vista? I just got it installed, and looked on the site and there isn't anything listed. So....I figured I'd come ask here. Can I use a version designed for XP?

Yes just use the Windows XP version. Works fine for me on Windows Vista Pre-RC1. Looking forward to seeing you with us soon.

I would download the latest version from the website:

http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html

I would uninstall the old one and install the new one. It could be that the old one is trying to connect to a server which no longer exists.

Nice. Keep up the good work

As to Nini,

I do not know what could be wrong. It must be something to do with the firewall blocking access to the server. It could also be that the server it's trying to contact is down but I very much doubt that.

DO ANY OF YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM?
