    Within the last year and a half I have seen my own mother through breast cancer. Then my aunt on my father's side was diagnosed with breast cancer early this year and just this week an aunt on my mother's side has been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. Granted the protein I'm currently folding isn't very likely to cure cancer but hopefully, in the very least, it's a baby step in a positive direction. It's for those reasons that I make the effort to make sure any machine I have legal access to is folding and why I whore the project out every chance I get.

    It's great to see so many new people joining F@H!

    Bump!

    Waatch out another group is about to overtake us in 10 days, we need about 5,000 more points a day to be safe, i'll add some more cpus in a day, just got a new amd athalon 2800 64 bit, hopefully she's as awsome as my sempron, hoepfully better, given it cost a whole lot more. Try leaving machines on at night for those that don't to keep production up.

    We're gonna need a lot of new procs to keep that group behind up. They're averaging over 12000points a day. We're around 8000.

    I just changed my setup so that I can keep all of my computers on 24h a day, hopefully my 24 ave will again be > 100

    Gee, I've got one CPU running 24/7 and you're talking about 8 and more. Well, constant dripping wears away the stone, as we say in German.

    4 CPU's in one box=500mhz each
    1 latop 2.4Ghz
    2nd laptop 800mhz
    Desktop 800-1ghz?
    desktop 2ghz
    2 Virtual servers crunching too, i think they rate around 2ghz each.

    You'd think i'd have a higher score by now, but I've only folder 7 proteins, although i did only start last week, so i guess 1 a day isn't bad.

    i have a 4 cpu box (each are 500mhz) and followed instructions about using smp.

    created a folder for each cpu, ran FAH502-Linux.exe and set each folder instance to a different machine number.

    Each instance runs its own cpu to 100%, so if I look at top, each FAH502-Linux.exe shows it is using 25% of the total CPU power, but each CPU is maxed out.

    We use VMWare here so i created 2 new servers to do nothing but fold. Wont last long before someone notices tho.

    scoring...

    Not all Work Units are created equally. Sometimes you'll get a big project that takes a long time, but it'll score a lot. If during the setup program you select the advanced options, you can configure it to do "large memory" projects that will score a lot.
    Or something like that.

    be warned though, those larger memory units should only be used on higher end boxes, anything less than 2ghz will definatly feel the effects

    if yall want i can give up files to make yourself a floppy for going around and installing on XP lab machines
