Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

The software is only 32-bit, if it were otherwise then it wouldn't run on the vast majority of 32-bit operating systems that people still have (myself included). The processor alone doesn't make software run in 64-bit. Your processor (as well as mine) will run both f@H versions in 32-bit.
 
Hmmm, okay, I'm thinking about bringing my C2D onto the scene... :D

Just a few questions:

Is this gonna clog up my computer with endless amounts of files?

Is it hard to set up?
 
No and No. Neither version will clog your computer up, although the console version is even better than the graphical version in that regard. Take a look at the setup guide for instructions, it's really quite easy.

Would you recommend the Console version or Graphical?

Oh, and where's the setup guide? :P

EDIT:

Found it...
 
yeah

As well as approaching the 200000 mark :)

I can't wait until we get past the 800th place. Then we can have individual stats and graphs at the Extreme Folding site.
 
Thanks Jet. I guess I'll have to wait for it to finish then...

However, you know for the dual-core setup guide? Well, I didn't follow that at first... :o

So, I have it set up for one core at the minute. What can I do so it uses both?

Yeah, but the thing is, it's already set up for folding on one core... I take it, it doesn't matter then? What about all the other files in my current folding folder? Do I leave them there, and only copy accross the FAH502 exe file to the second folding folder?

EDIT:

Ok, i've worked it out now:

folding.jpg


But how do I set it up so that it opens both exe files from one shortcut? Will I have to create my own batch file?

Yeah we have successfully folded 1000 work units :) A work unit is the data that your computer processes. When that package of data is done, we say that the work unit has been finished.

I have completed 17 so far and will have 2 more done by tomorrow :D

I have a question though, I seen some people talking about their video card not being supported? What does your video card have to do with folding? I thought it was all about your CPU? Would a better video card help you fold faster?

Heya. Well the F@H team just introduced a new version of the folding software which works on the X19xx cards from ATI. It folds about 4 times faster.
