I'm going to try to get my overclock a bit higher. Not much, but closer to 3.6-3.8Ghz maybe until I get a new cooler.

I get about 38 minutes between percents, if that's what you're talking about (TPF?)

Yep--that's what I'm talking about--I've been using the Linux VM for the first bit, but now I'm switching to native Linux--the VM was having some queer problems, namely the clocks would get unsynced (hence my edit). Also I've switched to a passkey that only my desktop is on so that my laptop doesn't throw it under 80% if I lose WUs. It only takes 48 hours for 10 normal WUs, though, so it's no big problem.

Just joined the team, but I've only got an XP machine with a 2.8Ghz Celeron to run it on. I'd like to help a bit more, but my laptop can't stay on all the time.

I have some older computers that meet the 450Mhz listed on the F@H site, but I'm skeptical as to weather or not they'll actually meet deadlines...they're a 533Mhz PIII and a 733Mhz Celeron, both running Ubuntu 9.10. What do you guys think?

anyone?

I would just give it a shot and see what happens. Download FahMon and it will tell you when the work unit is due.

I'm finally charging through my 1920s--<24 hours until I complete 10 A2 WUs and start the -bigadv units!

Nice...let em rip!

Wow...my wife and daughter are doing good running my clients. I broke a million with 5,883 PPD average. Not bad for a couple chicks:D

How to get fahmon to work with Vmware?

Read somewhere you type the following

\\xxx.xxx.xx.xxx\folding\

X = ip address

I did this for both of my vm's and they both say "N/A"

Yaaay, top 100! BTW, does anyone know who has the most points in all of F@H? Or at least what team? I'm proud to be top 500 team, too!

I believe it is everything except instead of \folding\ it's \fah\

Still getting N/A

Did you select "This client is on a virtual machine"?

EDIT: What are you running that on?! Those are faster times than my i7 at 4.1Ghz!?

EDIT2: Nvm--I thought those were full frame times instead of a partial frame!
