So now Im not going to do seti anymore. Seems like Seti isnt going anywhere and im going on to F@H. So when skool starts i will "borrow" some unused pc's and crunch them up.

So any tips on how to get F@h at its best performance?

If you're comfortable with Terminal, the console version will take less graphical/CPU overhead for rendering the app.

Check out mc68k's scripts (http://calnet.sdsu.edu/mc68k/) for a quick console install.

Welcome aboard applemacdude, nice to have another member folding. Just more for medical research and the team.

You can set it up so that it doesn't need Terminal to be open for it to be running - mc68k's script does it that way. The script dl's the executable, too.

there are commands that come w/ the script. i've changed mine, and i can't remember the name as it's installed, but it resolves to this command line command:
% killall OSX-3.25

That used to be the case, but the interactive executable is fah4 instead of OSX-3.25 now.

great to have you on board.
just make sure you have proper permission to "borrow" those school computers ;)
