Just turn the machine on at home and let it fold, your electric bill will thank you

With the rigs you guys are running, I wouldn't even make a dent with that ol' 1.4 Thunderbird.

It would do some good, anything helps.

 

[xsivforce]

Fine, started up my desktop again. Rep?

 

[Brad]

done, but you aren't supposed to ask for it

Did you smell Elvis' butt?

yeah - I once had a pIII folding - in fact it was the most reliable - never missed a WU (just took a week or so to get around to posting them :lick

Oh and by teh way can we get back on topic (no more Elvis butt please :dead

 

[kcnychief]

I had a nice day yesterday, back over 1,900

 

[Brad]

I had a great day yesterday too, submitted 772. My highest yet.

Yep, the first machine I had folding was a PIII and from what I remember it was reliable.

My desktop at home is on break from folding for now. I have had some problem with my room reaching temperatures of over 28 C when Folding, when not folding it stays at the more comfortable 21 C, even that is a bit much, but that is because of the fact that I have one machine in my closet still folding, if I turn that off, temp goes down to the reasonable 19 C, but only if I also turn off the Toshiba laptop, which when not even in use is warm to the touch.

You need to invest in proper cooling for your rig.

 

[Mainframeguy]

no Sazar - I think he means the ambient temps! I can relate to this, this room with an a 4200x2 and an XP3000+, dual head 19" TFT and 19" CRT is noticeably the warmest in the place, especially if I shut the door.... He'd need to invest in A/C I reckon!

Just placed this order (well actually the order kind of grew a bit from there )which should mean my Winchester 3500 gets back to folding when I've got it all together and installed XP x64 - anyone here folding under x64 by the way? Curious if it all runs OK (believe there is no 64 bit client, but that this should represent no problem to my running Folding in 32 but mode)

 

[Brad]

I wonder if we folded in 64bit mode if we could get more production?

I... was... kidding...

 

[sean.ferguson]

I find that the client's accuracy to finish a work unit slightly... wrong. For example, I started a Gromac Core yesterday - The time estimated for completion is June the 6th, however I am now at 77% so it will obviously be somewhat quicker than that.

Is this a bug with the Windows Service client, or just the fact that because of the PC's varying state it cant narrow down completion times much further?

 

[Mainframeguy]

the latter I believe Sean - it seems to estimate conservatively (to say the least!) and gets more accurate the closer you are to completion.

On occassion...

 

[Brad]

:laugh:

 

[Steevo]

My office and the bedroom was switched just for the cool reason. And the office was bigger than the bedroom. Nothing wrong with that I tried to tell her.........


But, the room stays noticably warmer than the rest of the house. Almost 6 deg F.


This summer no A/C for that room either. So watch the temps fly.....

 

[kcnychief]

Just wear shorts, don't stop folding!
