We're not all about tooting our own horn around here, but since they brought it up the other day... I thought it would be appropriate to point out that our Folding@Home team has replaced Tech Report's team as the #10 team overall!

Congratulations people! Keep Folding for the cause!

#20598 Posted on: 01/05/2003 10:45 PM I just added a couple of my machines to the mix Saturday. I had been running SETI@Home for years but since it is winding down this seemed to be the next best distributed effort around to join. I put my XP1800+/nForce2 game rig and a Duron 1.2/KM266 toy (E-mail machine) in the mix. I probably won't add the dual MP 1800+, though, as I don't run it 24/7 and the noise/power are excessive, too. Got a couple of K6-III+ 600 MHz machines I could add if they can contribute anything worthwhile. Can someone point me to a site that shows the relative potential of various CPU's on this project? ~\_/~\_O Burmese

#20599 Posted on: 01/06/2003 12:21 AM First off welcome to the team, glad to have ya aboard. I have a dual PII 300 that folds within the time limit so most any box will help out (especially a dually MP1800, hint,hint ) [Can someone point me to a site that shows the relative potential of various CPU's on this project?] http://home.attbi.com/~wxdude1/emsite/foldspeed.html FOLD FOR THE CAUSE !!

#20600 Posted on: 01/06/2003 06:49 AM Well I finally started, so theres 4 24*7 processors for ya, and maybe I'll add my smaller machines too. BRM [edit] seventeen or bust's, servers just aren't up enough to feed my little cluster. Now I have to re-do my mrtg scripts to graph the progress of it. Well it looks like they put out the progress info in a way that it'll be easy to get for mrtg.

#20604 Posted on: 01/06/2003 10:37 PM Yes the little machines can participate in Folding at home as long as they run 24/7 and don't really do anything. I've got a quad PPro 166 running clients and it finishes everything they send to it within the project expiration date. And here is the list of current projects and expiration times. http://folding.stanford.edu/psummary.html -Tanj! My F@H Stats My System Stats

#20609 Posted on: 01/09/2003 08:36 AM I started with the first machine on Sunday and now have all three folding. The dual machine is running 4 folding programs (hyper-theading). Each of the others is also running. All are 24/7. The best part is my daughter thinks I'm saving the world.

#20612 Posted on: 02/05/2003 12:38 AM Did you download the text only or GUI client? You need to use the text only for duallies so you can run 2 instances.
