Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

only 4 hours til my TINKER core has completed, its been going for days, lol... im slightly excited to see how many points this thing gives. WOO c'mon, join 44358

I was folding on my old 500Mhz box, but after literally 72 hours going straight, (not turned off once) it hadnt moved off of 1/400 frames, so either it wasnt working or the PC is actually just sooo crap its unbelievable.

I have all these PC's around me tht i cant use, if i installed it on my sisters she would crucify me (i built the damn thing and she doesnt let anyone near it, i swear shes hiding stuff on there) My dad is always in a bad mood so theres no point even trying to ask him, and hes only got a 733Mhz celery so.... My mum only has a laptop thats old and shitty, my dad has a killer laptop, but thats for his work and shit. My other PC is currently in bits and thats nothing greater than the 500Mhz box that didnt work. lol, all ive got is my PC. grrr

Anyway, yeh, my WU will be done soon. On the list it says ive done 3, which is right, but on the client it says ive done 2... eh?? any ideas

YAY - hit 100 WUs ;)

Keep up the great work...I should have one more WU done by the end of the weekend :)

cheers ceewi, they look quite good, however im using the graphical version, but im pretty sure a few here are using console, geoff for instance....

im actually not using the console version, i decided that using 50% of my CPU is fine, especially if i want to play games while its running.
 
hmm...

Guys I lost one of my WUs! I was folding, a program caused explorer to crash and reload itself. Then upon restart, the old WU is gone and a new one has been assigned. I had 10 more hours left on the one that I was working on. What do you reckon happened? Do you think it got deleted because it got corrupted?

Current stats:

i just lost a work unit due to my idiocity, on my laptop it only had about 1-200 frames remaining, and i reinstalled windows because i couldn't get infrared working, it didn't even cross my mind that an entire unit would dissapear!

Lee

edit: but on my desktop it is on 7873/12500, at about 6 seconds a frame, so that should be another work unit done soon
 
haha

Well I read into it and it seems to be a problem with the Tinker core in particular. Oh well... my crusade is still on! ;)

GUYS, this tells you how many points your WU gets as well as what it's doing:

I thought it could come in handy :)

BTW: what happened to you APJ101?

93%!!! :D

I think installing a dedicated sound card to my machine (instead of onboard) really improved performance. With a slow 400MHz machine you can't process sound and fold at the same time very effectively. Even playing simple AIM sounds caused my machine to stutter, so sad lol.
