I'm F@H almost 24/7, but as of yet haven't even completed 1 WU. Slow PC...:sigh:

s_m_w_d · 03-26-2006, 02:50 AM

it says another 3 day till I complete my first WU!

**jancz3rt** · 03-26-2006, 02:52 AM

Yeah quite depressing to see that my other PC has 10 days remaining and my BEASTLY rig (LOL) has some 1 day to go! Also taky into consideration that work units come in different sizes and are assigned a different amount of points. I have a work unit of 10,000 frames and my other PC has a WU of 20,000 frames.

What is the point of the whole point system just to make it a bit more interesting?

It's to make the leaderboards fair. The pure number of WU's completed would not give an indication of folding power, since as Jan said, there are different sizes of WU.

The points awarded are calculated by using a benchmarking Linux machine before being release to the public, based on time-to-complete.

Ok, I'm folding on my dads houses computer (P4 2.4 Ghz)... not 24/7 though. Once I get my new computer here I'll make this one my folding rig.

I guess I shouldt have taken the IHS off my old dells CPU, I could have used it for something lol.

The one on the rigth shows the overall progress (percentage of WU completed) and the one on the left seems to show current progress of a part of the WU.
