Folding Forum

Sounds more like theres an issue where they're getting errors and submitting the work unit incomplete repeatedly... Anyhow I'm on a P4 3.2Ghz with HT which for whatever reason misrepresents itself as a Pentium D... or I'm misunderstanding something *shrug* I'm about to upgrade the video card to a PC...

Bruce.. that is a great way of getting people started... and like you said every little bit helps... 3) Why not? FAH is a way you can contribute to a worthy cause with almost no investment or bother on your part. Install a single CPU client as a service and then forget about it. You don't have to do...

You know there are probably a couple places that do things similar to Adopt-A-Rig that the Overclocker forum folding group does if you're looking to specifically put your $$ to hardware/processing capability. You may want to consider contacting a group that does something similar to that and provide...

The... "success" of one of these services [even legitimate ones] would encourage ripoffs and cons to pop up etc etc... I like the coffee cup idea one of the respondants had.. if you're stretched for space etc then donations direct to the Pande group through Stanford University would be a g...

Looks like they're just turning off the tracking of work units in each project range MtM...

Ah, thanks for the alternative... After some quick calculations using our peak/offpeak tariffs for electricity it works out that running F@H 2100-0700 [10hrs a day instead of 24] would cost 1/2 the price per hour... a decent saving in running costs. Looking at some of the other threads around it see...

Hehe thanks for the suggestion will get on that as soon as I get home... points might take a bit of a hit and contribution will go down but at least I'll be able to continue

So I got the biggest energy bill of my life for the last 3 months... $950ish Australian up from 580 in the previous 3 months [and I thought 580 was bad :( ]... granted we've just seen a 20% increase in electricity tariffs in my area and a lot of the energy usage occurs elsewhere in the household... ...

That makes a bit more sense. I was just looking through some posts on the FAH Hardware side of the forum but as a layperson it all ends up looking like gobledigook Anyhow... will move my queries to more appropriate threads, cheers Bruce.

For technical dullards like myself do those links show Nvidia cards folding 3-4x faster than ATI cards of the same generations? Is this because NVidia have worked closer with the Pande group than AMD/ATI or just the technical difference in the cards? ... I guess I'm asking will it likely balance out...

Just saw this on Prof. Pande's blog... Stanford is a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity and thus a donation of money to Folding@home is tax deductible. Stanford's Federal Tax ID number is 94-1156365. Also, many companies help individuals donate to Stanford by providing matching funds. Does anyone know how ...

Seems like this would be a problem common to most if not all folding teams... personally I'd just suggest keeping up to date with the research results and advances in technology related to folding [new video cards, new cooling systems, new ways of keeping everything running smoothly]. Present summar...

There are a few F@H for dummies guides out there but it'd be nice to have one directly on the website as an "official" guide. If you came here as a layperson you'd be VERY lucky to come away with a client appropriate to your system specs and even then it would be unlikely that you'd run it...

My work units were sent successfully.
Guess it was just the fact that the servers are so busy.

Thanks for fixing it guys and girls.
