Hello - I've been lurking on SPCR for a while, and just yesterday registered and posted for the first time. I see you have a F@H team!
I've been folding "casually" for a while, and in just the past week stepped up my efforts. I haven't been in a team, but figure I might as well join one. I was considering the [H] team, as I do hang out there quite a bit, but joining the team with the highest production at the moment just seems like no challenge...
So, if you all don't mind, I'm switching my clients over to report that I'm part of the SPCR team. I don't have a huge folding farm, but I do have about 7 boxes working 24/7, with a total of close to 10GHz. My first WU for the SPCR team will likely be done in a couple hours. I fold under the user ID Frank_Condron.
Thanks!

I have gigahertz envy.....
That 200 MHz machine I just added isn't going to help much, is it? :O
I just started folding a few days ago, and have two pretty good (one Athlon 2000+ and on P4 2.4) machines at work, and last night I hooked up an old laptop that's just been sitting on the shelf. It's probably not worth the electricity it draws, but I figured it might as well be doing SOMETHING.
Welcome to the team Frank. (which sounds kinda funny considering I joined up only a couple of days before you did! )

a hint to higher production
Hello Frank:
Welcome!
If you aren't already, you can get better production from the CLI client (the command line console) and on any machines that have SSE/3DNow!, you should run the v3.25 beta. If you use it with the -advmethods -forceasm, it will keep using full SSE/3DNow! for all work units; not just the first one. After I switched on my fast machine (see my sig), I have improved my weekly output from 350-450 points up to 500-600+ points -- which puts me back in the green zone!
Also, be sure to exclude the Folding@Home executable (and Electron Microscope if you are using it...) from antivirus scans.

Thanks. Need to uninstall 3.24 prior to installing 3.25? Obviously wait until the end of a WU if so.CharlieChan wrote:A new beta avaliable.aphonos wrote:Mirror site for 3.25 beta GUI or Console for Windows? Stanford links not working last two days.

Check the new beta in Charlie's post

Nope, just run the new one after you finish your current work unit.aphonos wrote: Need to uninstall 3.24 prior to installing 3.25? Obviously wait until the end of a WU if so.
