You can usually check the value of each work unit at psummary.html.
Your's isn't listed at the moment (unless I've just missed it), but my guess would be that it's worth in the region of 138 points.
Good luck with the remaining 50%.
Got a tip for us?

I just checked, and it isn't showing up for me either. Also, I'm not listed as a member of the MacRumors team for some reason. Can you help?britboy said:

I've got the same! It was worth 70 when it started. I don't know if it's different with the new point system nor, if it is different, whether we are going to get the extra pts.

what's your folding username?
Hey Hey!
I've decided to actually put my dual 1.8 Ghz G5 to some practical use and join the folding team.
The beast is ripping through these work units (4 in 25 hours), but I have one question.
Is there any way to utilise the dual processors under screensaver mode.
I think it's only available via the terminal version.

Welcome to the team.
AFAIK, there is not dual processor screensaver client available. The console version is really much better optimized since it doesn't use any graphical resources, and you don't need to worry about it running all the time since it only uses idle CPU cycles - it should not conflict with your programs.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

what britboy said.
from your previous posts it looks the big tinker is your first work unit.
At least you'll start with a bang!
You won't show up in the stats until that first one is (automatically) submitted.

I'm considering joining the Macrumors group...i have 2 questions though:
1) Athlon optimizations. Someone mentioned I should disable advmethods flag or something like that...where do i set this in config? (I'm using the newbie GUI one rite now )
2) Its giving me a "Could Not Connect To Work server" error.

I can't answer #1 for you, but I can answer #2 - the work server is experiencing heavy load right now, and is frequently refusing connections. You'll just have to try again later.Mav451 said:I'm considering joining the Macrumors group...i have 2 questions though:

As for #1, -advmethods makes sure you download the newest cores/units (typically Gromacs). Check out the console install info page for a complete list of the switches and their functions.
http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/console-userguide.html
Make sure you look at the forceasm switch for 3DNow optimization on your Athlon.

For an Athlon, it's faster to use the -forcesse switch, rather than relying on 3DNow.
Mav451> to use the -advmethods switch, go to your startup folding (start > programs > startup), and bring up the properties for folding@home 4.00. Where it says Target: "c:\program files\etc etc....", add the -advmethods switch at the end. ie. "c:\program files\etc etc..." -advmethods
You can add as many switches as you want.
Thanks again to mc68k for guiding me through this one just recently
np rower. I was bored for a couple of hours, so I checked out the stanford forums. Amazing how much you can pick up just from reading other person's comments........ I knew almost nothing about which switch did what until I actually read the instructions
Perhaps this might even help you rack up some extra points?

we missed our goal! what happened? did we loose some people or are people just waiting to turn in big tinkers? i myself am workign on a 135 point GROMAC right now that is taking awhile.
thanks for that link, Don't Panic. says we should be there in 2 more days. time for me to get back to folding and stop wasting processor power by checking the forums.... hehe

That's Gromacs. We're only about 5000 points behind the other team. I'm quite surprised because my daily average is hovering around 100 points per day--which is nearly my highest of 106 ppd. We're getting close but we've got teams coming up quickly too.
Everyone is seeing an uptick due to Tinkers clearing out and the new point scheme - but we've got members upping their output, too.
I'm glad to see bertman back on the attack. It's great to see you cranking out the WUs like mad, bert'.

Just great. I did a whole day of folding, using the console version, but i have no credit at all on the Stanford site. None. Even my name doesn't show up. Wut's going on?
Now i just started using the GUI version, hopefully this will at least show up on the records

You may or may not have noted this line in the FAQ:
You double-check your config file to make sure your name and team # are right, but if they are it's just a matter of time for Stanford to process your info and add you to the stats. I'd really recommend sticking with the console for optimum performance.

Did you finish anything? Uncompleted work units don't show up anywhere but on your machine.
