Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

I just bought my daughter a new Dell laptop, very nice laptop actually. She is almost 14 and cannot stand the thought of having a big desktop computer in her room anymore. I am taking her Dell XPS 400 and turn it into a Folding machine that can just sit there and fold 24/7. My GTX 260 is going in there.:D

Hey voyagerfan99...wanna buy a 9600 GSO? LOL:P

Well, I imagine you're running Windows, so download the Windows client here:

http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/release/[email protected]

Once it's installed, run F@H and enter a Username (whatever name you want) and the team number 44358 (For us here at CoFo). The password is optional. And that's it. Your card will start folding.

I have a bug with my 4870 in which it['ll send the results but not receive a work packet back. I don't know if you'll have the same problem or not. Last time I checked, it was a bug with this release.
 
just joined the team :) had a quick question though. i downloaded one of the two (the bottom zip one) links off of the main website and installed it and have it running. i see voyager linked a gpu one up a couple of posts ^. i didn't see it on the folding@home website. i am assuming it is different than the cpu one i have going right now? if i downloaded the gpu one and installed it, would it be able to work at the same time as the cpu one i have going?

EDIT: nevermind, i have everything running and working now. but i do have a sort of weird issue now. after like 20 seconds of watching the gpu one runnin the window will start to display 1 frame per second but the iter/sec will more than double, going from around 250-260 to around 580. is this normal?

Well I got my 4870 to fold again. Now we'll just see what happens after this work unit finishes......
 
I just baked an 8800GT back to perfect working order and have it folding with my 4870 in the same machine :D

Now I can Quad-Screen if I wanted to :D
 
And I haven't been folding due to electricity rates. At the beginning of this year, PG&E jacked them up 30% across every tier level. I'm paying anywhere between .20 to .45 per kwh depending on time of day and usage. It sucks.
 
well i got both my hd 5770s and my 8800gt folding (well the client started, we'll see if they actually start folding at all) on my main computer. plus i got the cpu one going as well. the 8800gt finishes in about a third of the time :eek::eek: although when it is running i don't get any usage on any of the core with msi afterburner... even though it shows that it is at 100/10000 (and 200 and 300 and so on).
