gtame Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I joined! Uh... I dunno, I've had it for about half an hour and only 10% is done, is that decent or slow as hell? Oh, and guys... is there anyway it can benchmark or stuff liek that? My friend has a program similar to this and it benchmarks his computer as well.

GTATHUG77 Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Err....... I just finished a /500 WU & connected to the net to send it but my net went all f*cked up(what a time) & it changed from saying "Attempting to send results" to "Attempting to get work packet" so has my WU been sent? most likely it got there i'd say, my internet went down for a few days a few weeks ago. F@H was "Attempting to send results" for the same one WU for most of that time , soon as the net came back up, it sent the results and changed to "Attempting to get work packet". so yeah, it got there. and looky looky, i'm finally back in the top three after the episode where it wasn't counting the WU i was sending.

Knightmare Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 You just wait until I get all the computers on my campus folding under my name! But yea, I thought we'd have a better team, but oh well. We did great for a while, and maybe to pump some energy into it, Tank could make a new forum for us. Then everyone would check it out and most likely at least try it for awhile. Thanks -shaDow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyLeone25 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 w00t I'm on the list twice under the names: JoeyLeone25 & Jord aka JL25! I think we should threaten everyone by saying you will contract cancer if you don't fold, it's wrong yea but it probably will help.

Exkabewbikadid Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Oh, and guys... is there anyway it can benchmark or stuff liek that? My friend has a program similar to this and it benchmarks his computer as well. It can't exactly benchmark, but it works for stress testing if your system is overclocked and you want to see how stable it is. If WUs keep crashing, you'll know you've overclocked too far. ............... Probably no one's noticed yet, but I've stopped using Xcomm and I'm now using The_Precinct. I was hoping to get some other Precicnters in on this, but I'm the only one for now. The idea is to get gangs competing and hopefully boost GTAF overall. I don't care about my personal stats (nobody was going to catch me anyways). So, any folders in gangs who want to get some competition going between gangs, just change your name to your gang's name. Just be sure everyone folding in your gang uses the same name and to use "_" for any spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wuuuhhaahwawaahaha! i'll get you, dw about that lol , just added a p4 3.0 to my folding team $$H don't fold, the majority don't anyway, don't think the TP team is really going to have any other gang competition at the moment.

Dude, that's what I'm running You know you can run 2 clients on a Hyper-Threading 3.0C don't you? Also, make sure you use -advmethods to get mostly Gromacs core WUs... and you might just catch me. I'm the only one in TP folding too, so I'm going back to Xcomm for now. ................. Oh yeah, FAH 4.00 client is now official, so the beta is no longer available. ............ Everyone go here to support the team becoming part of GTANET, and just maybe we'll get a forum and more people will be interested.

I have been running battlefield 1942 no problem on my machine whilst it is running, so i dont know what he is complaining about.

Those things don't have the best cooling so f@h running on it for too long could cause it to warm up a bit. Feh. It's fine, but I would recommend that you set the maximum CPU usage to 90 or less. I find that the top 5% of CPU usage tends to warm up a CPU substantially. My laptop's fine after folding a lot, albeit not 24/7, and it's got an Athlon XP-m CPU in a 0.66 inch thick case (1" counting the screen) sysnode.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 (edited) im glad more people have started folding. good on you! and just a quick question here... does anyone know how to stop the WU reseting, like say if my computer freezes, because most of the time i have to turn off the power because of failures. is there any way to ensure that the WU wont reset?

Are you using the graphical client, or the 4.00 beta console version in my guide? If you're running the beta, you'll have to update to FAH4.00 official. I need to update that guide... again. Also, what are your pc specs? Your system might be unstable which would cause the WUs to crash. When a WU crashes, fah usually sends whatever was completed back to the server and then it downloads a new one. Your stats are only showing 3 WUs sent back to the server, all of which were fully completed it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D@3mOniT3 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I just have a small question: Sometimes when my comp is in the middle of chugging through a work unit I like to see how many points I'll earn when it has finnished. So I right click on the little window in EMIII and goto calculate points to see how much the protein is worth. But sometimes when I do that it will say the current work unit is worth nothing, zero. I'm pretty sure this is a flaw because I get zero point work units quite regularly and it doesn't seem to affect my placement.. But I'm not positive on that. So what I'm basically asking is if anyone has experienced this were they able to fix it so they didn't get those pesky zero point work units? I didn't see this mentioned before, but I've only read maybe 5 pages of this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
