to_tough_to_die said:Hey, just signed up! Great cause to work for.
Just a few questions:
1) I downloaded the text-console version and signed up for the team Murlyn posted on the 1st page; did I do this right?
2) I've heard some say that PowerBooks don't do well. How will mine do (specs under username)?
3) How do I check my progress?
PowerBookG4 said:I am having a problem with increase
When I want to see how many points a particula wu is going to get me there is a -- in the place where points should be in 6 of the 8.. does this mean I am not getting any points or that increase does not know how many points the wu is worth.
PowerBookG4 said:Ok so I was playing around with ideas to get people interested in folding at home I think we should do a badge that would show the ranking.. It should not replace the current badge it the person is not a regular member but add another one.. for example.. if there is a member the badge will replace it, but if the person was mf-motm or a moderator that person would have the badge added not replacing their current badge. (one badge right under the other one) I was fooling around with ideas for this and I have created a badge idea for the person in first place.. there should be a badge for everybody 1-10 so that it would spread awareness.
Murlyn said:That is a good idea, I like it.. Ill talk to the other mods and see what they think. Yeah h0tk4rl has been doing awesome I was #1, not anymore.. been quite awhle since i've been first

i have found a way to fold even faster on my dual 2.7 powermac!!! instead of folding 4 units at a time in increase like i have been doing for the past few months, i dropped that number down to three and my points per hour have gone up by about 3!
how this works. if you were to run only one unit it would run through your first processor and then move to your second and back and forth. two units will do the same thing but there will be some non used cpu time. by adding the third unit i have found that both of my processors are running at about 80-90% load at all times
now i do not know about doing this with the quads but maybe powerbookg4 can eventually test this out on his powermac by running 5 and then 3 units.
note: DO NOT JUST STOP AND THEN DELETE YOUR WORK UNITS IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE AMMOUNT OF WU'S BEING RAN. STANFORD IS EXPECTING TO RECIEVE YOUR RESULTS AND EVERY INCOMPLETE WORK UNIT SETS BACK THEIR PROJECT!
sorry for yelling. i will post later today on how to cut back on your work units.
