Well... im not sure if anyone noticed, but I am the man! Look at how much I'm rocking up on everybody! Ok... really though - Im not the man, but i am happy about how well Im doing in Folding. I think its sad that we're a team but still competing with eachother. I guess that's what makes it fun though, eh?
Yeh i noticed you've got on average 374.5 points per WU.. and the reason behind your success? - Your memory timings :good: Folding @ Home LOVES tight timings and custom linux kernals - its why yourself and AT are doing so well I've started folding on 1 machine again now.. I have 59 WU's and like 3000 points LOL! - reason for this is i've run F@H on tones and tones of 233Mhz-450Mhz PCs :good: It's nice to have abit of competition keeps it all going, but at the same time its all for a good cause - I've never really had my AMD64 fold, had it run for 3 WU's had about 230Points per WU, but that was with single channel GeIL Value, i now have Dual Channel PC4400 GeIL Ultra
Oh, and be careful guys, as i might have something up my sleave to leave folding whilst i'm away i'll leave it to your imaginations.. Sniper don't tell!
"What do you compete in? Basketball, football?" "I fold." "Laundry isn't a sport." "Err...I run a distributed computing program on my computers. *pushes up glasses*" "Brain overload!"
Lol folding its the sport for geeks. Apart from table tennis. Table tennis is cool. Especially with a top side spin which starts the ball veering off course as soon as it hits the table. Then its totally unpredictable for your opponent...
I've just managed to get: 1T 2-3-3-5 1:1 CPURAM @ 220Mhz LDT: x5 So not bad nice timings for PC4400 anyway.. i'll push it further once my new case arrives then i might start folding ... might..
Yeah, i have it pretty good as far as my setup goes... A gig of Xtra low latency [2-2-2-5] RAM Dual channeled in a custom kernal combined with my 64-bit 3500. And i've been looking around for ANY other computers to Fold on... like pathetic computers from thrift stores (we have a thrift store around here that sells *any* computers for $5). I just like having computers, even if they suck!
Me too. I want as many computers as I can find. I'll just take it apart and use it to decorate my room.
I just got a sound blaster 16-bit ISA. With a 3dFX Dual Core GPU Video card. And a p3 600mhz with 768mb RAM...with an old 3Com NIC!!! Decorations if I can't buy a power supply for it
Lol we have lots of old pcs in the loft i havnt made any decorations as such out of them yet but i did make a keyring out of an old cpu but ive lost it
woohoo! I just went to the thrift store, and for $25 bought a old [of course] 486. Its running windows 98 right now and actually seems work fine considering the age. Im going to format and install some version of linux so that it'll run a little smoother.
gaaah I wish I could buy cheap pc's. They're so fun to screw around on! Even if they aren't worth a damn outside of the world of firewalls, routers.
Exactly! Even if it sucks, its going to be fun to work on... and I might just end out giving it to someone for a firewall.
Old PCs are crap so they use little power and make great firewalls, routers and platforms for testing new stuff. nic how did you make a keyring out of an old CPU? (by the guide) they're mostly ceramic based, not organic compound so they need a diamond drill bit.
