LinkMaster:
Looks about right to me. With just CPU folding on a single core of my 2.5Ghz 3800X2 Fahmon estimates my PPD to be around 47-147 depending on the project. If you have a compatible GPU your points go way up. I think courgan mentioned he has an ATI 2600 folding, I wonder how many PPD that can do.

Re: Exposure

I'm going to get the F@H team a bit more exposure soon. Probably via a forum announce as well as an icon in the footer or header or something. I want to get more PS3 folders

Fahmon location:

My locations are usually something like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Redemption\Application Data\Folding@home-x86\

I get about 90-110 out of it.but still better than i get off of the cpu in that rig and i do not have to listen to my kid complain about it running slow.(939 3500+)

slayer try this :C:\Users\theslayer\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-x86\
in place of what you are trying. or whatever name you use on your riginplce of the slayer.

and if you still cannot get it to work try increase

Does anyone have a rough idea how long a PS3 takes to do a work unit that is larger then 10MB? I have heard that the Cell is a powerhouse for folding.

And getting more exposure would be a great thing. We have an ok amount of users, but I know I have started and stopped using multiple accounts. Then again every little bit helps.

I saw this the other day while googleing something.



Someone needs to make one of those for our team




btw, I'm not running Windows on my computer anymore. I'm running a slightly modified version of OS X Leopard. Well by slightly hacked, I mean I just did a retail-install of it after changing about 10 files. Its amazing how similar macs are to PC's now, and how easy it is to install OS X on a regular computer now.

For the most part, it works perfectly, I just occasionally run into a few bugs, like not having full access to my F@H settings. It still runs great though; uses all 4 of my cores to the max potential.

That worked perfectly as soon as I started it . Its currently showing I'm 20% through it, and about 15 hours left. Awesome.

If I'm reading it right, its showing that I'm getting about 91.3 points per hour. I'm running a Q6600 at 2.5ghz. Also, how do you know how big the files you are getting are?

that is amazing.
i have heard and read about folding farms but nothing like that.
most use older rigs linked and running linux in a diskless system. like those explained here.

it should say in the display or in the logfile.and i think all the mac has are smp.allot higher points.gonna upgrade to a q9550 soon then install the smp in my rig.tried with my e8400 and it does not like my set up.

That is a nice folding farm! If I build my girlfriend a computer I am buying myself a better video card and giving her my 9800GX2, more folding power!!

By the way what were you googleing...amazing porn machines

We're gonna try and get a few more machines folding at NeoHQ. kspiess is going to run one of his video benchmark systems (currently using a GTX 295) through the weekend. I suspect he'll have wracked up some 15,000 points by Monday .

I'm curious myself how many PPD/WU a PS3 can fold per day. Anyone got any stats?

according to stamford the ps3 average is 900ppd.with an 8 hr finish time per wu.
faster than a cpu but slower than the gpu.and the linux clients are the fastest smp thenthe mac then windows. slayer has kicked out 3 on his cpu while i am on my second st 47% complete

Red, dont you have a bunch of video cards laying around that have been reviewed, but you have nothing to do with? I thought I recall someone mentioning that. You could 'donate' some of them for use for this good cause .

What have I kicked out on my cpu? I think I'm only on my second WU since I started it back up.

I've noticed that since I started running this on my computer, its been noticeably warmer in my 11x11 foot jail cell dorm room. Its not too bad when its cold outside, but I can tell a difference.

I may try and put this on my Vista laptop later. It does a lot of sitting around and doing nothing while I'm not using, so I might as well. It has a 2.2ghz C2D, and a 8600m. Would the CPU or GPU client be better? and is there a way to have it only fold while the screen saver is on?

these stats show that you completed 3.

as far as the laptop i have no idea but paranah joe has been using his laptop off and on so he would know more.

The 8600m would fold faster than the C2D as long as it doesn't overheat or anything.

Yeah Slayer, I can fold 2/3 of a WU on my 9500M before it'll throttle down and pretty much crawl to the finish. Just make sure the back of the laptop is propped up on something then you should be fine.

Putting along.

what are you folding with and how long each day?
