i just joined
running amd 3500+

I started a thread in loungin to hopefully get more people to join.

I now have it running on 3 computers. I installed it on my parents desktop, and our laptop.

My computer: 9660/20,000
Parents comptuer (aka #2): Just started the folding process, and it looks to be 2,000 frames
Laptop (aka #3): same as the second computer.

I have #2 and 3 running at around 75%, and mines still at 100%.

I got one work unit done woot!

Would I be able to do it with my computer?


Or will I just be waisting bandidth?

*EDIT*
My CPU sometimes jumps to this:

You can run it. I was unable to find any minimum requirements so it just uses a percentage of what you have to offer.

Do you need a good ISP? Cuz I only have AOL dial-up right now.

It only uses the internet to upload and downloaded the work unit. The whole time its folding, it just uses the processor.

OK, it's downloading, but now I have this line going down the screen...

Im running it with a P4 @ 3.4Ghz, socket 775LGA,

Folding @ 15s/frame

Noticed that BF2142 doesn't like it at all, unless I quit the Folding. Not sure what else might not agree, haven't tried Halo, or CS:S yet. I imagine I could tweak around with it.

I was hitting 13s/frame when I wasn't at my computer, and it showed 14s/frame when I was using it to browse the web and play music.

I wonder how it would have liked my old clock speeds of 2.62ghz.

EDIT: Now my new WU is 5s/frame. I'd like to know what kind of calculations they are running.

I'm not sure what the s/f is based off of. I think it has to do with the size of the work unit because others seem to be getting varied sizes of WUs and thus far I've only gotten 5000 with a consistent 21s/frame.

Im wondering that the s/f speed is because the larger W/U seem to move quicker, where the smaller ones are a tad slower(I'm only on the 3rd one, cant say fo sho), and I think that might be due to the deadline for that W/U, which I think you can manipulate under the advanced tab in the configuration settings. I guess if you set it to standard, they might crank out, or if you set it to deadline-less, they might be more forgiving to cpu priorities, and fold on more flexible terms.-----I dunno----Im gonna mess around with it.

The whole thing is interesting as hell. Kinda nice to play a hand in curing disease, and who'da thunk with a 'puter?

LOL--funny with the line there^^^^ I thought the same thing with the start menu.

Well I noticed that my parents computer completed a WU a few days ago. I'm about 7/8ths done with mine. I need to install it windows Vista too; I just installed my RC2 copy, and wont be using xp much now.

I was 4600/5000 and I started to install a new game(Blazing Angels). During that install the DX installer started to hit error after error, the game installer quit responding, FF encountered a problem and the whole thing ended in an nF4 BSOD after about 7 program errors...my first in months.

Now I'm back on that same work unit at 500/5000. The damn thing reset on me. It's not supposed to do that. I have it checked to make saves every 30 minutes.
