The best Folding@Home work unit to get

[wrldwzrd89]

Consider yourself lucky if you get assigned p1111_L939_wt_ext_444K. That work unit has a 25-day preferred deadline, a 37-day final deadline, and is worth 249 points. This means that it'll probably finish faster than its neigbors, p1110_L939_K12M_nat_min1 and p1112_L939_K12M_nat_min1_355K. Both have 50-day preferred and final deadlines, and both are also worth 249 points.

You really need to get out more...

Ditto.

I thought the point of it all was to help humanity, not to jack up point scores....

On the other hand, higher scores bring other competitive people into the, er, fold, trying to "win", so I suppose it's a good thing.

Well, I believe you are the only one of the the four of us that does it only for humanity. Panda, wrldwzrd and I are loving the competition element that comes with it! That reminds me... Panda, where were you hiding? Haven't seen you on my thread list for a while

BTW, I like the 739 and 678 Tinkers. My G5 really rocks with those!

The little 23-point Tinkers are great too. They finish VERY quickly, you get your 23 points, and move on to the next work unit. I once submitted 10 work units in one day because I got 6 of those little Tinkers.

I've been hiding because my production has been junk... I went down one machine (because I havent' been over to my parents to reinstall F@H after they reformatted it) and even though I changed one machine from a P3 450 to a P4 3ghz my production has gone down significantly... not really sure why. So I haven't really had much to taunt with...

Me: "Oh look! I have a pointy stick!"
You: "Yeah... ummm... I'll just press my nuke button."

So I'm not really sure what's going on... I'm puzzled...

So now I'm doing it for humanity...

I've been crunching P267_chc13 for 20 days and 9.5 hours. It has a 62 day deadline for 221 points. I'm at 66% complete with about 10 days to go. This is all on an old Summer 2000 400MHz iMac with the CLI version of F@H.

BTW, if anyone is using the CLI version of F@H, take a look at
InFold. It's a great app and it's also free.

I'm crunching 3 WUs right now: p1123_L939_K12M_429K (worth 237 points), p678_L939_K12M_355K (worth 242 points), and p218_c24Murea (worth 186 points). All three are expected to finish tomorrow - meaning that I'll produce 0 points today, and at least 665 points tomorrow, possibly over 700 if I get some small WUs after that (like those 23-point Tinkers).

Don't know why, but I have the same thing. My points also fell this week. It isn't going as fast as it should be. Must be Stanford, bringing out a lot of WU of one kind that they like us to finish, but don't bring in as much points.
