Thanks guys!

if you selected "Set -advmethods flag always, requesting new advanced scientific cores and/or work units if available (no/yes) [yes]?" during setup then the client will start with advmethods.

There is nothing to worry about.

If you want to check that this setting is still on run -configonly.

If your log files are intact you can search them for core a3. From a command line in your FAH folder type fahlog.txt | find "FahCore_a3.exe" type fahlog-prev.txt | find "FahCore_a3.exe" The number of complete A3 WUs will usually be the number of times you see "Core required: FahCore_a3.exe" minus one.

The new six core AMD chips are finally getting some benchmarks.

haha - you must have bad folding carma or something :p

Huh, this is what I found on my clients

P4 3Ghz(2 cores) + A3 Core = RAM 69, VM 100
Xeon 3.2Ghz(4 cores) + A3 Core = RAM 80, VM 125

RAM useage isnt anything near what you are reporting on i7 processors. I dont get it?

Dang! Way to go!

w00t !

How much RAM is needed for a higher-end dedicated SMP folding computer?

Does high performance RAM contribute to higher PPD? Would running a single channel be a handicap?

Does -bigadv have a noticeable impact on RAM useage, and what is its influence on PPD?

Hey Neil - sorry to hear aobut your folding issues. I dont know anything about what is going on with your setup - but if it helps I can tell you that the clients I have running arnt having problems folding WUs. Windows XP sp3 UNI 6.23 [projects: a bit of everything] SMP 6.29 <passkey> -advmethods [p...

If the OS and application can effectively use all the cores...yes!

Oh! I should also mention that I'm running a3 cores on some very slow hardware (3Ghz P4). Despite this - the jobs are still finished before the deadline and are being credited about 450ppd. So unless you have hardware that is even worse than mine - dont worry about it.

Hey Frenchie - not sure what you mean. There are new WUs for both SMP and UNI clients - so either way you should be covered. Also, you dont have to run the big jobs option to use -advmethods. Seems to me that if you set the -advmethods option on your cleints you'll be folding away in no time! Report...

In other news, it looks like there are more smp wus, so turn your machines back on if you shut them down: http://en.fah-addict.net/news/news-0-208+new-smp2-projects-6050-6059.php These WUs are only available to clients using -advmethods. Another interesting thing is that these WUs use core a3 and a...

Congratulations! You are now a millionaire!

aspd rocks

I made it into the top 100

Hooray!

Looks like I'll be able to climb as high as #11 - but at 7000ppd that'll be as far as I can go....and even that will take a a year and a half!

Nice work guys!

Ok - big question - how do you setup FAH stats sig?

My profile \ signature settings show HTML off with aparently no way to turn it on - so I tried BBC code and that dosent work either...as you can see...

Please help!

Uh, why not put the OS on the RAID partition along with your data?

Nice work!

Since you are seeking greater PPD/watt this may be of interest to you: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/hyp ... 84-10.html

its a good thing they invented folding....gives us something to do with all this ridiculous hardware
