Hehe

Well I have done 2 WUs right now and should have the other one done by tomorrow. It's very nice seeing a lot of progress since this thread has been reborn and new members joined.

i'd have my pc running it right now but I cant figure out how to get my freakin SATA hard drive noticed by bios.
 
I dunno how many days I've been folding...but still only on step #29 of my 1st WU. Slow and steady wins the race...if the earth doesn't come to an end first! :P
 
Hee

4W4K3 - It seems to me that you should start fresh because by now it would have been folding. I know in one instance, I got stuck and had to shut it down and restart. Then it went through the steps fine. However, it could be that you got a tough WU.

Well, it's a 400MHz machine...I don't think it will go any faster :( This WU has 250,000 steps, and I'm on step 72,500 right now. I can see it progress throughout the day...
 
Wow

Ok that's a different story then :) Glad to see you helping out. I wish more members would join the effort now.

i've been using the console version without the gui, to me it seems quicker. But you do lose the ability to pause freely and specify cpu usage

i have 2 machines running this now, i'd put it on my media center but its passive and may overheat :(, id put it on my printer server laptop but it in a cupboard and may also overheat. Damn i need more machines!!

And the team need more members JOIN IN THE FUN :)

Yeah which is why I only fold on one core. I did set up two instances for a few hours but it got to noisy. :(

2 procs will have to do for now, I might get the better cooling by Zalman in the future though. :)
 
Indeedo

ill look at it. i want to know if it is safe and not going to give my computer a viruses or something.

Yeh, it's a Stanford University organised project. It has been known to be purely scientific and does not do anything else than what it should. It's therefore, as tweaker said, safe.

Well my name is now on the team list. But the previous 15 wu I have completed do not count! How sad :( Was looking forward to being 2nd on the list. Anyway happy folding. I'm only on 1 wu now.

Then lower it to 75% or so during daytime. Much better than nothing. :)

Have you thought of toning down that overclock;) or perhaps adding a better HSF?
 
at the moment my board is being a real pain, the PCI locks dont work, and i cnot overclock even a single Mhz, im currently running at stock 2.8Ghz.... depressing isnt it..... anyway, finished the 3rd WU, next pleas!!!!

and to get it to run in the daytime in my searingly hot room, i would have to lowerr CPU usage to around 10-15%, pretty pointless, as then it calculates WU time left and it say 146 days.... :(
