Well the point of folding is to help with the research that could save someones life, Joining a team just adds to the system. Teams then compete for places in the rankings. So its pointless, but why not? If you gonna fold, why not join a team?

I should visit the forum more often ... where did Cameron go to? Anyone know?

PhReaK_K · Post by **PhReaK_K** » 21 May 2008, 07:04

ok , and how do you compete , and what how do they rank you ??

Vampyre_2099 · Post by **Vampyre_2099** » 21 May 2008, 08:09

You compete by folding, download the client and start folding. Once you complete Work Units (WU) then you get placed on the table at this page.

I see Mori has finished a WU for the PCFormat team. Nice!

We're not last!!!

Sorry for the triple post but this is regard the amount of data uploaded. I finished a WU and watched my network usage while uploading it. Its about 1.6MB of upload once you've finished your WU. Depending on your computer it can take about 2 days to finish a WU, so thats only 1.6MB upload every 2 days

Eish my lappy is slow..expecting first WU to finish 27 May only

Dude, I just woke up my house from reading that. Sorry, but thats a little slow. although give it some time, the ETA usually drops. it bases the ETA on the current %, which if given a difficult part of the file, could result in a false ETA

UrBaN · Post by **UrBaN** » 21 May 2008, 22:22

Lol...no..its first estimate was 27 July

CENTRINO FTW!

Vampyre_2099 · Post by **Vampyre_2099** » 23 May 2008, 07:25

UrBaN, it doesn't matter how long it takes (as long as its before the deadline), every little bit helps. Hell I've got a 1.7 Celeron doing folding.

I see HuDiNi has also joined our cause and submitted a WU. Well Done, keep up the work guys

UrBaN · Post by **UrBaN** » 23 May 2008, 08:11

Well it went from 28 May to 25 May

I do, however, see it using upto 90% of the CPU, despite being told to use minimal CPU time... spyware infection maybe? Nod32 did pop up with a warning about it, but I told it to ignore...

I'll scan again, didn't find anything last time though.

Anyone else having an issue with CPU usage?

Vampyre_2099 · Post by **Vampyre_2099** » 23 May 2008, 09:25

Well folding uses the idle clocks of your CPU. It will report using ~100% of your CPU but won't actually affect the way your pc works. Thats to say that you shouldn't notice a change in the performance of your pc.

I read of reports where people say that virus scans have picked up a "threat" in the folding folder. Its a false positive (I think thats what they called it). Has the same structure as a virus but doesn't contain malicious data

Started the program on 3 of my CPU cores. after 2h 2 instances are on 3% and the 3rd on 10%. Not bad, not bad.

Not bad at all, Nuke

I just started...was in a rush to check it out...just downloaded the graphical Windows one...as normally the non GUI ones arent that much better.

Now that iv read what its all about and how it works.etc
Im going to start using the SMP....
Just hope it actually saves my progress if I switch?

It takes me 32/s to do a frame.

OUCH if it was a game!

1 min or so to render 2 frames

I set the priority to realtime, HCPUID's Hardware Monitor doesnt seem to be liking it at all

Wanted to check my temps to make sure its all right.etc

PsyCLown · Post by **PsyCLown** » 24 May 2008, 15:21

HmmZ, I couldnt get the SMP client working.
Using the normal Windows Console one...

I think I want to go back to the GUI one...but want to be able to play games at the same time

Im not sure if this normal console line based one is doing anything

EDIT: 7 hours and im halfway through a WU!

EDIT 2: I finished my first WU...
I have the least points though

I think ill try run multiple consoles
