thank god for forums! i was so lost :)

i now have my work iMac trying to get some units, it seems to be faultering though (it was working a minute ago).

Code: 
               NODE (s)   Real (s)      (%)
       Time:    210.590    210.590    100.0    3:30
               (Mnbf/s)   (GFlops)   (ns/day)  (hour/ns)
Performance:    100.684      6.507      1.429     16.800

it unfortunately gets stuck :/

./fah6 -smp 2 -bigadv -verbosity 9 -local

instead.

if you have an i3, and are only running it on 2 cores, then you should do this:

Code: 
./fah6 -smp 2 -advmethods -verbosity 9 -local

you won't make the -bigadv bonus

hahahaha. it will be fine, we have an incredible amount of machines here idling 24/7 (power mac g5s! they chew the power) and nobody cares.

1,800 for half a days work - thats not too bad i guess. maybe i will turn my i7 imac back on at home, now that we have solar panels ;)

So, we're talking about folding on iMacs now. Still have a question about that: How do you guys get the iMacs screen go to sleep when folding? Mine screen keeps going out of sleepmode after a few seconds.
