Umm Whats Wrong?

ProcalX · 03-12-2004, 11:34 AM

I've had my AMD64 for yonks, on this 1 WU?

It's showing up as "Steps" not "Frames", i'm doing about 320 Steps per minute, but it's a 2.5Million Step WU..

It's only at about 50% mark now..

(i don't leave it running 24/7) only during the day while i am at work.. or i go out.)

But still, is this slow or what? i swear i've done a 2.5million step before (i think) in alot less time.. on a slower machine..)

My PC Benches just off 4,000 in PCMark04 (i have slow hard drive and i do not have dual channel memory atm just 1 stick of 512mb)

Make sure you've set the CPU usage to 100% for fastest folding. It rarely affects performance unless your burning or gaming. Your HD obviously won't affect the speed of folding but it may be that you have a WU assignment which takes longer than average. 01bolandn gets 5000 frame WUs because her PC is a fast 3.4Ghz one. The Tinker cores i don't think use the optimised code so that may be it. But I've not heard of the steps thing only frames.

WU - What does it stand for????

EDIT: Found it - Work Unit, is that right?

Right well, i've posted in the support forum on the official F@H forums, so hopefully we'll find something that i've done wrong or that i can change to make it go faster.

Oh.. and i got given a Duron 700mhz, i overclocked it to 840mhz and it won't post on screen, so i removed the memory, reset the cmos and put some new memory in (i have about 5GB worth of SD lying around).. and it wont turn on

- and it didnt overheat 21C!
