November Folding Marathon

Thanks for the support guys. I know who is folding, but I need to know if you're going to want a prize or not!
 
I'll go for a prize =]


arggg, i would of had a computer dedicated to it but it's missing the cpu heatsink and a power supply(which I might get from a friend) it was my old gt 240 and Athlon 64 x2

Come on guys! Let's get even more people signed up for this! It takes almost no effort on your part! You just install it and it does its own thing!
 
i got mine going :D but i wanted it to use more of the cpu so i went to the configurator but the slider isn't labled, does it go to the right or left for max, and when i use the task manager it doesn't show it's using more or anything and the priority stays at minimum

nevermind, it's using more now, almost 50% constantly, so i might be getting as much done as one of you guys with yours all the way bottomed out for priority and all.

ideally you want to run it at 100%. depending on your system, though, doing that could bog down your PC to an unusable level. when I was folding, I was able to run my Q9450 at 100% on all cores and still do basic tasks like internet browsing, office apps, stuff that required little cpu usage.

yeah that old school amd chip prolly wouldn't allow for any other usage at 100%. you should try it though.
 
well right now i'm on the emachine with a 2.2ghz pentium dual core, and when it goes over like 70% usage anything other than the task taking so much suffers, like a game using a ton will work fine but say pandora will get screwy audio because it isn't as high priority i guess, but basically it doesn't need any more than 50% and i can't figure out how to get it any higher anyways.
 
Yeah I run my quad core at 100%. I just pause folding when gaming.

I'm going to get my 9800GT and Athlon X2 folding next time I go home. It's the HTPC so I can leave it on 24/7.
 
Will my GT 240 run better than my 5770 for this? lol

EDIT. My gt 240 is absoultely destroying my 5770 for this xD

How? The gt240 is a way lower end card than the 5770, so how is it doing better?

also noticed we are ranked 323 of 206k teams

As of 7:52 it's 320 ;)

To try and persuade more people, check out how many points we've logged total:

god this thing is slow, is there any good way to monitor the progress other than opening the log file every once and a while, cuz the graphic just shows a thingy just a spinning aroung and nothing else, and ontop of that i can't even get it over 15fps, at least it's over 10 though

and mine still shows 323 on the team page with an updated 31 cpu over past 30 days since it was 30 yesterday i'm guessing that's mine
 
check the site, think there is a link on the op to the download, but i think it's only made for win at this point, was done either by or with stanford so doubtfull it is that complete
