I just bought a PC today - a fast Pentium 4 - that I assigned to run Folding@Home when I'm not using it, like my iMac does. My score's going to be increasing faster now.
Got a tip for us?

Added another computer to the Folding effort

Just added my PIII and my Cube (though I'm going to have to keep an eye on the Cube's temperature). Maybe I'll actually finish a WU within a couple of weeks. 
I was getting the issue where Folding@Home was only using 50% of my CPU when I expected it to use 100%. Going into the BIOS and disabling Hyper-threading fixed the problem.

It's been said that by running two instances of fah on a HT machine, you'll gain 20-33% in your points production from that machine.
Just thought I'd let you know.
It refuses to run two instances of Folding@Home. When I try to start another, it says it can't run and quits. Do I need to download a different client from the website (I've got the graphical client running)?Nanuq said:

My dads old iMac runs 24/7 most of the time, so this one should be the same, he is always downloading stuff of Carracho or KDX, I would try to get him to stop but I can't pass up over 1000 points per week
. I will have access to the G5 this summer, I can't wait to test that thing out! It will probably convince me to buy a G5 instead of a powerbook .
I checked out the link, but have yet to try it out. I probably won't get around to it until tomorrow (Sunday June 13, 2004).brap said:

bousozoku, u have one hell of a memory
i thought Tiauguinho was a user folding fort Macrumors team.
link:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=28919
so is it a group of folders, a sub-team of sorts?
AND you just added 25 machines?
wow! that's going to make a huge contribution!
Hmmm... I started my P4 2.4 on folding last Monday when I got it and it's done about 22 WU's so far. Dunno if that's good or bad but I suppose it's doing the best it can...
I tried installing F@H on my machine here at work. I downloaded the Windows binary and double clicked it to install it and it just quits. I can't even get the thing installed. Dunno if they've done something to my computer so I can't install it. It's a Win 2k machine. Oh well. My iBook doesn't fold. It's too busy sleeping (plus I hate running the fan on it all the time).

I just started my 700MHz iMac folding about 10 minutes ago. It's done a whole lotta almost nothing so far. Guahhahaha! Get to 0.5%!
Hum... it seams my dual 2.0 GHZ G5 went off because my points have dropped tremendously, as well as 3 school eMacs... I went from 2000 a week down to less than 1K (probably even less!), at least I have a dual 1.8 coming in soon to install folding on!
