It seems that different proteins yield different results on different CPUs. So I started some sort of a journal, an Excel spreadsheet, where I'm going to note the PPW ratings of a particular CPU folding a particular protein. Going forward I'm thinking about building a web site that would take input ...

ColdFlame is quietly climbing the ranks. Now up to 34, he could rise another 7 spots in the next three weeks. Just swapped a 2000+ Palomino with 2200+ Thorton, then dropped a wire in the socket to fix the vcore at 1.8v and o/ced the #*@()*# out of this sucker (stock speed 1.8 Ghz at 1.6v). Currentl...

I'm not exactly sure if this a folding thread or an o/c thread but here we go. Duron 1.6 is a champ, it did 1.85 Ghz for me on stock voltage, 2.0 Ghz with a little vcore bump and 2.1 at 1.6v. I think max I got was 2136 MHz on a NForce2 board but it wouldn't do any more. Folding wise it's far from pe...

I think people usually throw that PSU out and buy a better one. You can also mod it with Panaflo L1A fans but that is kinda tedious.

All these replies are really meaningless and do not express any real reasoning.

XP is the desktop OS of choice from MS, if you don't like XP or MS then use Linux. Those are your options.

I might be mistaken but $60-$36 is nowhere close to $5-10. In fact, it seems that solution based on SP-94 is approx. 2x more money than 700 AlCu. Is it really 2x better? I doubt it. Anyway, you guys asked for our opinions, I expressed mine. It seems that there are people on this forum who'd like to ...

As for the Thermalright SP-94, the list price on that bad boy on their website is $59.95 stripped bare - without a fan, fanmate, or Artic Silver 5 compound. This was exactly my point. Why would I pay more for SP-94 while I can get 7000 for less with fan and fanmate in the kit? I think it was shown ...

To answer your question: I personally would get it if it were cheaper than 7000AlCu ($30 I think). 7000AlCu includes a heatsink, a fan and a fanmate. If you can package SP94 with a equally quiet fan and with a fanmate for less than $30 then I might consider it. Does this sound just to you?

I've got a dual 2.2 Ghz Xeon that supports HT (generates 1-1.5k PPW) in my back pocket Unfortunately it only supports offline folding I used it a few weeks ago to give Semm a scare (closed up on him). I probably will start using it this week to get closer to Semm again.

Could you please change your config files to say ColdFlame for name please?

I just looked at what CD came with my Dell and it is indeed called "Reinstallation CD". I however installed Windows from it once on that laptop. What is the difference between what you call "a real OS CD" and a "reinstallation CD"? For my purposes it installs Windows XP and I don't see any problem w...

Just say no to a Dell What is wrong with Dell? That website is made by some mentally disturbed people so I didn't look at it closely. Dell PCs should come with the OS with OEM license, meaning you can only use it on Dell PC (or only on the one it came with). I believe it is the same with other majo...

I'm not sure what your question is. In my opinion there are 2 kinds of laptops out there: lights ones with Centrino and powerful ones which are heavy and battery life sucks. If you want a light one you can look at Dell 300m or 600m. Inspiron 300m weights 2.99lb and packs some modest power and great ...

Bleh!

Well Lockheed accounted for 1k PPD so that's why we can't seem to overtake MacOS easily.

No one is guilty of premature celebration. According to F@H stats at Stanford SPCR was #25 for a brief period of time Then Mac guys pulled away. Not for long

This is becoming interesting. GJ Mac folks!

Yea yea but our weekly average is 2k more and it will show up soon

We just passed them.

GJ everybody!

Having installed SLK-800 many many times I can only say that it's mounting thingies suck big time. Both of my Zalman heatsinks can be mounted _way_ easier. I'm also not observing cooling benefits compared to Zalman and Zalman is cheaper.

It really all depends on how Stanford does it. They can assign the value when they hand out the WU and then honor this value. Or they can re-adjust the value after the fact.

I manually forced FAHLogStats to update projects but I don't know if it actually went to Stanford.

FAHLogStats. I just updated the project values and it still shows 54.50. I don't doubt that Stanford adjusted the value, they had to do it sooner or later.

Mine's still showing up as 54.50
ROCK ON!!!

I'm having trouble sending results from one of my clients and can't get new WU from another client. Anyone observing the same behavoir? It is really annoying

I think you can look at F@H as a sport. It's got points, it's got standings and it's a sport. A lot of people are here because they are competing. I'm not saying everyone but many. When you have sport you have sponsors. You have Marlboro painted on F1 cars, etc. Similarly here, ARM F@H team is named...

you never mentioned you had a screensaver! it was it!

I'm not asserting my statement but I have observed the experimental data to support it and I also have a theoretical explanation. If you have 4 processes on a 4 CPU machine it does not seem like they get assigned to a specific CPU for their lifetime. In my case they were all "cycling" CPUs. So each ...

I'd imagine this happened a lot in SETI days so they must have put some kind of protection against it.

No I have 4 fans and I used all of them in place of regular ones because I didn't know they are 24v. They all start at 12v. Maybe I got exceptional fans.

Thanks for the explanation.
