mike2h · Mar 29, 2007, 02:02 AM

Judas · Mar 29, 2007, 02:16 AM

mike2h · Mar 29, 2007, 03:07 AM

thx. its got a athlon mobile 4000+ & a gig of ram so it should add something. havent used it in over 2 months so this will be a good use.
just wished there was a way to make it work with the screen down...

mike2h · Mar 29, 2007, 08:09 AM

k the wife ysays i can use her comp(pres 3.6 & 1800xl), kinda. gonna have to install the 7.3 cats. wich is a shame as the 7.1 works great & i hate 'fixin' what aint broke.

mike2h · Mar 29, 2007, 08:19 AM

k i got dh mike2h & dh mike2h2 lol

Yousaif · Mar 29, 2007, 09:41 AM

I'm in as DH-Yousaif. I've been folding for quite some time and would prefer not to have to start over with a different username just to get the [ and the ] on either side.

Hope you can make the exception.

*edit* Hey guys, maybe this time we can more people to keep folding. Its for a really good cause. After the last contest we went from 95 active down to only 37 active. Its not like you can use your computer 24/7, right? So you might as well have it doing something useful.

It works just fine with the screen down. Just go into the power settings for your laptop and change what you want it to do when you close the lid. I have mine set to just turn off the display. All other functions continue.

Um.. mike.. you can run multiple instances of the client on different machines using the same name. In this case, you just entered twice. Bad boy (this coming from someone who did the same thing, btw.. by accident though... honest.. it was an accident).

Just remember to use the exact same name along with the exact same team number for each client you setup. Anytime a client finishes folding it will upload, and the points will get tallied together under the same name/team.

mike2h · Mar 29, 2007, 06:21 PM

lol. thx tip & yousaif

yet u have 2 entrys tip.... lol

Yep... hence the "Bad boy (this coming from someone who did the same thing, btw.. by accident though... honest.. it was an accident)" bit.

It was an accident when I was setting up the client on a machine for burn-in. It was running over the weekend at my store, and once it finished a couple WUs I noticed that I had mistyped my name. DH_Tipstaf instead of DH_Tipstaff. Embarrassing to say the least.

mike2h · Apr 2, 2007, 06:33 PM

think im going to only run 1 comp. been running 2, but they seem t obe using increasing amounts of my available bandwidth. had several problems yesterday & today surfing the internet & playinf gw on my comp. turned of my wifes & probs gone.
ill just alternate between them so that they get some of that gpu action from my wifes comp. prolly safer that way anyway - for my wifes gpu & my laptop.
bty i have 3mbs down & 256 kbs up.

GutterPunk · Apr 3, 2007, 02:02 PM

My folding comp needed to be turned off for awhile. It was heatin up the house like no other

~~hackerx~~ · Apr 4, 2007, 08:29 AM

i'm currently using my laptop which has 2.6ghz Northwood in it to fold
doing well but slow compared to the x1900 xt(which is not operational due to PSU problems)and using my prescott to fold will cause my enitre system to slow down bad(my northwood runs fine though)
hopefully i can sort out the PSU problems soon

Grave_23 · Apr 6, 2007, 02:29 PM

[DH]- Grave_23 here

SaberZ · Apr 7, 2007, 02:38 PM

Got my work computer always running it, could just make a farm or something here at work.

You have it backwards. You need to have the [] characters around DH for it to show up as part of the subteam. Unfortunately there are already quite a few established DH folders without the square brackets so unless the subteam captain (IIRC Zardon) makes [DH] official/mandatory, I wouldn't worry about it.

magnus33 · Jun 7, 2007, 05:36 AM

Got off my behind and put it on both computers as DH-magnus33.

Should have done it much sooner as i have done the cancer route myslef.

g35x · Sep 3, 2007, 04:13 AM

just found out about this a few mins ago, and I am now folding

RoyBatty · Sep 3, 2007, 09:17 PM

Winter is coming and I'm going to need some heating. My summer folding holidays are over...

Liqourice · Oct 25, 2007, 09:54 PM

Is there any point in doing this with an X850XT at the same time as my Athlon X2 is working on seti@home?

RoyBatty · Oct 25, 2007, 10:39 PM

No. And it's not even possible. You need at least X1600 card.

Liqourice · Oct 26, 2007, 08:25 PM

Ah, I see.

Well, something for the soon coming dual 2900Pro's then..

RoyBatty · Oct 26, 2007, 08:56 PM

The HD series cards are not supported either.

I heard some rumours that they are working on it. Do you have any clue whenever we can expect an update with HD2k-support?

I have read a document (fifteen slides or so, made by ATi) which tells us about the ''enhanced Folding-performance'', so in theory they can fix it. Anyone?

RoyBatty · Oct 26, 2007, 09:19 PM

I know they are working on it, but I don't know when. You'll have to check their forums for a release date (if there is any)...

Jejking · Oct 27, 2007, 12:09 AM

You have a link?

Tipstaff · Oct 27, 2007, 08:37 PM

I wish I could have kept going with this, but electricity bills went through the roof trying to keep this up. I just can't afford (literally) to keep folding. Sorry guys.

PandaZ3 · Nov 15, 2007, 06:46 AM

Yes mine are near $210 a month, but at least I don't need a heater in the winter! I knew you were done when I started gaining

Ever heard about undervolting and removing extra things out of your case? Lowers powerconsumption dramatically. My E2140 went from 1.6GHz @ 1.325V to 1.6GHz @ 0.9V. Saves about 30W at least. Go googling and get yourself back in the project!
