P.S.: To Ade

Does this thing run ALL the time or can you stop it when you want?

Yes, you CAN! You have to use the graphical version for that option.

We'd be glad for you to join! As has been said, you can pause the folding with the graphical version .

OMEGA, are you going to be folding with your X1900GT?

 

[RyanAndrew88]

Woot I just joined up today. I put it on my PC and my sisters PC

 

[Jet]

Awesome! Glad you have joined

As noobish as this question may seem, why does the GPU matter?

 

[Cromewell]

F@H has a version that uses modified OpenGL code to do the folding operations so that you can run it on your 1900.

 

[RyanAndrew88]

Ah ok neat. Thanks

 

[Jet]

GPUs fold proteins 30-40 times faster than regular CPUs do, so running F@H on your graphics card brings points bonuses as well. For instance, my CPU gets ~110 Points Per Day, while my graphics card gets nearly 500PPD.

 

[Geoff]

Does anyone know if the new updated GPU client works with Catalyst 7.1? I just got my card and I installed them both, and they seem to be working so far, but I don't want to complete a WU and then have it fail due to a driver issue.

 

[Jet]

The only ones that are supported is 6.5, 6.10, and 6.11. F@H had some revisions to the drivers when they tested them, but it didn't get in in time for 7.1.

 

[kof2000]

it takes 1 day and a half to get a WU with the computer at work LOL.

 

[MyCattMaxx]

I see folders are dropping like flies! Why are you all quitting?

 

[jancz3rt]

Heya

The core is still healthy, we need to pick up our recruiting activities. The top folders will not quit easily. Many people simply forget, so I will inform some previous folders again in the hope that they will fold again.

We are cruising up the # ladder tho. I should soon about 2 months be able to add 3 more comps. Maybe sooner.

 

[jancz3rt]

Yes..

Also check out the EXTREMEOC stats, we are not doing badly at all, in terms of production and progress. Very impressive indeed

Hello

Some updates have taken place in our informational thread for newcomers. Me and magicman have decided to scrap the idea of doing our own graphs and from now on, all will be externally accessible at the links provided here:

Do feel free to suggest any improvements and additions.

It's a false positive, nothing to worry about.
