Electric Costs is #1 Reason...

I'm currently in the process of moving... #2 Reason...

People offered to buy my folding machines (for other reasons then to fold) for the right price, so I sold most of them. #3 Reason...

i stepped my game up alot since folding here

i'm moving up too nicely to loose my rank there..I am adding another 8800GT to my growing farm on Tuesday

Can't run it when I'm deployed, no Internet Connection

i would, but my roomate is really cheap and i'm not "allowed" to keep my pc on without paying an extra (exorbitant) fee every month

Since it's getting nice and cold outside, I guess it couldn't hurt to start folding again. : )

Folding wise, it's a shame that I went from a 8800GTX up to a 4890.
If I recall correctly, my GTX could pump out 4500 PPD. It looks like my 4890 is going to crunch out 3600 PPD.

We could use some more active folders guise! We currently only have 5 active folders!

My pc's are balls to the walls right now!
Q6600 @ 3.0GHz on cpu cilent (up to 6000ppd using cpu client, assuming I get the a3 beta proteins)
T7200 @ 2.0GHz on cpu cilent (900ppd)
8800gtx @ stock on gpu cilent (5400ppd)

I have thought about doing this from time to time. I still dont understand it that much other then the basics and how important it is.
The link at the start of this thread for explaining it in more detail ( from 2005)
seems to be broken. Is there someplace you recommend for beginners to go and expand there knowledge of the process and how it interacts with your PC?

**Joe_B_Me** · 02-14-2010, 05:25 AM

I think this would be a good beginners read.

how many PPD would a i7 920@3.8ghz get me?

also i agree with joe you guys do need more active folders... I almost feel like switching my 8800GT over to Xoxide again

**Joe_B_Me** · 02-18-2010, 02:04 PM

Some googleing tells me you could get around 20,000 ppd. This would be using vmware and bigadv.

I've never looked into vmware and bidadv, so I can't really help you beyond recommending it.
If you are curious your 8800gt can probably do 4500-5500ppd.

On a random note, my cpu cilent keeps crashing on these new a3 work units. So I'm stuck using my 4890 again. :angry:
With the 4890 @ 880/1000, I get 3291ppd, @ 990/1000, I get 3566ppd. Depressing, but it's all I can do.

I only get ~3k PPD with my 4850 so don't feel bad. I get around 6kPPD on the 8800GT with its overclock

Alright I'll go ahead and do this, I used to do the whole folding thing back in the day so may as well toss in the hat again to see how I do.

edit: upon installation, it appears it only wants to use 50% of my cpu, but doesn't seem to actually do anything. The video card I have already has overheating warnings so I'm not going to use the gpu client and push my luck.

that leaves me with a ps3 to toss towards the cause I suppose.

Either you are using a single threaded client or you need to setup the smp client to run on multiple cores.

Try adding " -smp" to the shortcut of your cpu client should solve that issue. If not, try " -smp #", where # represents the number of cores your cpu has
