Turn off the monitor and put a bit of black paper over the power light. Problem solved.

When i build my system and get my spare p4 system out, i may have to do some folding for the overclock.net team.

Now folding. Woot.

Just hope it doesn't crash my computer. Oh boy!

I just started folding on my main computer. I think I'll use 1 core so I can still game. Once I get my other rig going, I'll use that one instead.

Wire, that is the beauty of folding, It only uses idle CPU power. So you can just leave it running in the background, and do your normal activities. Folding@home won't effect your daily usage.

i started folding on my e2140

for team 37726 ofcorse ^^

Heya, i know this might be a noob question, but do you only get points for cpu time and not actuall processing power? so in theory two old p4s would beat 1 Q6600?

And do they utilize gpu computing yet?

tehpwnerofn00bs · 01-22-08

No, its all cpu power. For example my q6600 folds at least 50% faster than a comparable e6600, and much, much faster than a P4.

there is a folding version that uses ATI gpu's. you can find it on the download page admin linked to on the first post.

IT also depends on how your fold on the C2Q. You could either run 4 instances of the console version (still relatively slow, but you are doing 4 WUs at a time) or you can use SMP (one WU at a time, but fast, fast, fast, because it will utalize all 4 cores). If you have a fast multi-core system, it is always better to SMP fold

ah thanks. If only they could utilize the overclocked gpus everyone has, wed be in business ^^
