Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

Folding on a Dual or Quad core processor (or a server motherboard with two Single, Dual, or Quad core processors installed)
(Windows SMP Client)

First off, make sure you have Microsoft .NET 2.0 installed (or later version).

Then, download the Windows SMP client from http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html. It is the 6th link down on the list; it is called Windows 2000/XP/Vista SMP client console version. Once downloaded, double click on the file you downloaded and run the setup. It is pretty straightforward, just continue to click next, and then finish. Once done, go to the folder where you installed the SMP Client. Look for the "install.bat" file located there.

Note: You MUST have a password for your user in order to install this program. A blank password will not work

Double click the install.bat file. A box may pop up and ask if it should block this program; make sure to select allow. Enter first your Windows username, your password, and then confirm your password.

Finally, double click the fah.exe file:

A DOS window will pop up and ask you these questions:




Run the client; if you have any problems, post them up in this thread!

I forgot about installing f@h but I got it running on my laptop now and when I get my desktop up and running I will be folding with that to.
 
Guess what, guys! Today was the first time ever that we have one of each type of folder. Ie, one 1600+, one 1200-1600, one 800-1200, two 400-800, two 200-400, four 100-200, and 19 1-100, for an overall average of over 7000!!!! We have a total of 30 active folders, which is 13 more than a week ago. Great job, everyone! Keep it up.

...Could "older" computers help too? I don't mind leaving my 200MHz on 24/7...

It could, but the power per watt is so low, it hardly is worth it. You'd have to get deadlineless WUs, because it would take so long, ie, maybe a month a WU.
 
wow. i just notesed. some one may have posted this but you can run it on your ps3. have mine all set up! lets see how fast it is
 
me personnally, i spend lots of time on the computer and wouldnt mind the program using a lot more recources

there is a thing in the settings that allows you to change the cpu usage, but it still isnt enough

i cant really explain this well,

but i would rather that i was able to let it use up more recources and get done faster lol
 
It all depends how much you are using the computer. If you had it using much more, you'd notice a whole lot more slow down.
