Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

No, you don't need a fast computer to fold. I'm currently folding on a P3 1GHz; while it doesn't put out much PPD at all, it still is something. Every bit helps. Besides, your computer in your sig would cream a P3 1Ghz any day :).

Jan,

Do you need a a fast computer to fold?

Or can older systems (Like mine)fold too?

Your PC will be plenty to fold. No need for super-fast PCs. The main thing is that you help out. With your CPU ans setup, that should not be a problem at all.

JAN :D
 
ok im gonna join the team...Just setting it up now.

EDIT:Now folding !

With CPU Folding, it takes me around 105 hours per 392 point WU (on my Pentium D). It just takes a while.

On another note:

Oh noes! Ceewi1 is going to pass me!! :evilgrin:

Yes, I am at an all time low right now. Just hold on and prepare for my PPD to increase quickly in the next week :). Right now, I'm working out my overclock: I am only at 650/775 right now (compared to 625/725 stock), but I am expecting up to slightly under 700/800. It would be nice to break 6 minutes per WU, but we'll see.

It shan't be long.

I see that you guys are moving up! I would have been a part of the computerforum folding team but I was already part of another folding team. On our team there are only 11 of us, but considering that there are only three of us currently active and that at least one of us knows very little about computers! We're doing alright! Of course we have the benefit of 2 of us (including me 67%) being F@H beta testers.

Having Diabetes I feel that this is a good cause, and one of only a few true tests of the true quality of one's PC build (even for those of us who know very little).

I am going to suggest to the members of our team that they join this team, that is if Praetor is also playing (sorry pal had to have a dig. LOL). I won't be running my five dual core rigs 24/7 but I will run at least 3 of them and some of my 9 borgs. We should be able to almost double the points on this team.

Hehe, it wasn't that long ago that I was #1 in points. In any case, EOC still has your PPD above mine, I'd say you're fine (attempt to lul Jet into a false sense of security :D)
 
Actually, for one update, I was over 200 points per week behind you...you were going to overtake me in 296 days. I should have taken a screenshot.
 
Keep up the work, everyone! We are doing great!

Our PPD is on its way up, now the average PPD is well past 5,000 and quickly approaching 5,500!
 
Who is going to be the first person to break 100,000 points?
Will it be Grey410, with 97,372 points and an average of 1,172 points per day, or will it be superpetrik, 97,731 and an average of 1,067 points per day?
 
I cannot use the gpu version it says I am missing a file or something and the program cannot run....

Heh, I think superpetrik will be there first :P However, Grey410 could catch up. That's a race if you ask me!
