Well, the team made the top 100 today, out of 34000+ teams. And nine weeks ago it was only an idea some guys at Sharky's had. Sure wish some more of you would come over and help out.

Re: Folding @ Home
 

I suppose I should have posted sooner, but I'm on as Ste.
As of 22:52 GMT, 18-12-2003 I have done 12 WU and am 91% through my latest work unit (2275/2500)
I recieved the WU on 15:08:45 PST, 15-12-2003

I've got an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ which Windows XP clocks at 1.66Ghz. and 512MB of RAM.

It isnt fast but it's stays switched on all day. The real question is, dare I leave it switched on over the Christmass break...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It’s a PC review site and the Forum is a PC forum. It’s a place to ask questions about your PC and get good answers. It’s a place where you can learn how to maximize the performance of what you already have, or find out what is the best buy for your next system. It has a game section too, so it could be a place to spread the word about SE.

Most of all, it is a bunch of real friendly people. Word of warning, leave the attitudes and off topic here, it will get you kicked over there.

Folding as Space Empires or Shrapnel would be cool, but I doubt we have the Hertz around here to make a run at the top 25.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It means that you are about 1/5 done. Check the log and see how long it takes per %.

Re: Folding @ Home
 

about 7 minutes a frame.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That's a fairly good fold rate.

Re: Folding @ Home
 

I downloaded and joined the party this morning. The software has been running for 6 hours now and I have generated 152/250 So I should have my first packet completed today.

according to the log file I'm saving a section every 6 mins or so. Not bad I guess for my AMD Athlon XP 1700+ (1.467 ghz)

I was wondering, would the program run much faster if I had no other programs running? (like internet explorer.) Also would it run faster if I went offline?

Just a few questions for you experts.

BTW: I noticed the program had the ability to insert a custom banner, so I created a "Sharky Forums Folding Team" banner.

If anyone would like it, just let me know.
