The Folding@Home Pub

Aaaah, false alarm... It was just one.
Back to 3065 :bang:

 

I just got a 2653 WU today!

Was hitting borderline 3700ppd! I like these more than the 306x's...

Should have my backup (media) rig crunching away in a week or so as well. Just ordered the cheapest case I could find, and an Evga 8800 GS Superclocked! The videocard was on for $90 after rebate! I figured...use that little card (which is basically just as fast as my 2900xt in gaming, but it can't fold ) for about 12 weeks...then "stepup" to a new GT200, whatever it may be called, put that in my main rig, and put this 2900xt in the 2nd pc, so it can do SMP and GPU all day long!

 

You can get a Radeon 3850 512MB for $130 at Newegg.

And the 8800GS isn't as fast as the 2900XT; or I wouldn't believe it to be so.


I'm currently looking at getting a Q9450. However, they are out of stock everywhere!

I don't have quite enough cash to purchase it at the moment anyway; but I will in a week or two!



Keep it up guys, we're still climbing! :buggun:

 

Anyone else getting lots of 0.0.0.0 ('work unit has an invalid address') errors?

I'm using the latest console client (running four of them as the SMP client keeps locking up for me), but sometimes I have to wait hours for a work unit to download.

 

Anyone not getting credit for completed wu's? i have completed 3 now without a score update.

 

Well, I'm in Canada, and NCIX is having their 12th Anniversary Sale right now. They had a Sapphire 3850 512MB on for $120 after rebate, but it went on sale the day after I ordered. Oh well, I just bought this card as I needed something in my other PC...

As for it being as fast as the 2900, well, we shall see!

From all the couple of reviews I read, it loses some, and wins some. In benchmarks the 2900 leads, but in games it is very close. Like I said though, it'll be going back to Evga in a couple months for the GT200 (hopefully). Then this 2900 can crunch all day long.

On a side note, do you guys think an e6400 ~3-3.2ghz is enough for both the GPU and SMP clients? I know a quad is better (duh....lol), but will this dual core be enough to keep them both relatively happy? Or do you think it will just take a crap?:3eyes:

 

Get in!
26xx units are good.

 

problem

anyone got any ideas how i can fix this problem..

Sometimes when i shutdown my pc my fold starts from 0 loosing lots of work time..

this is where i rebooted and when it started from 0 again.
I'll try remember to backup the FOLD directory before i reboot.

 

I haven't been on in a while because of school. But, one more week and I'll be on spring break!

/w00t

I'm going to get a second and possibly third job then I'll finish my PC.

Here's a pic of the so-far progress :

 

Nice.

I just installed my second 3870. I'm in the middle of exams at the moment so had it sat waiting, but I got bored and installed it. Caused the cmos to reset and I lost my o/c. I couldn't remember my voltages so I had to stress test with Prime until it was stable again. Means i'm about 12 hours behind where I was expecting with my WUs. Doh! Atleast it works now.

 

Shame there is no Fold for my SLi 8800 GTX... sat there doing nothing overnight..

 

WE / Guru3D has now !!!!!!

Work Unit Count 39999 . TADAAA!!!

 

What about those stats aircool? Explain a little bit...

 

Yay, I guess I'm serious enough... ipe:

 

Broke 1000 WU!!
