I think the main advantage of new stat system is that it works faster. It used to take up to 30 mins to complete the stats and now it is around 10-15. Also it is much quicker to display in my browser. That alone is worth it.

Well, if you can't keep that Xeon folding away then it looks like I can sneak past, but there's nothing to say we're not both going to be climbing the ranks closeley... Somehow I've managed to get up to 6 PCs in my room folding away, and I really shouldn't upgrade any or add to that. I am loosing s...

Is this an indication that Linux people are clieless?

I'm still in the dark. Maybe this is because I have an inferior AMD.

How's that 4x160 point shot feel CoolGav? :) I suddenly seem to be much further from you, what do you think? :) There is also this XP 2000+ coming to help. So you will overtake me, but not as soon as you'd think. :P I knew it was too good to be true, cruising right up behind you like that... Now I'...

Why did you call it double core?

I don't know how you guys are getting such high PPW on these monsters. Here are my results: gt3 - Barton 2.41 GHz Protein p859_p53dimer859 Protein Core Gromacs Credit 120.00 Time Per Frame 22 mins, 37 sec Est. PPD 76.40 (0.64 WUs) Est.

I got 1 of these on my champ 2.41 Ghz Barton and it is producing 563 PPW at this moment. Since it's been producing as much as 896 PPW lately I'd say that the way Stanford "values" their WUs is screwed, at least from my personal prospective. I hope that in near future there are going to be more distr...

One thing everyone has to keep in mind is that it takes a lot less money to add a new PC than to add a new Mac

Macs are tight, I admit. But pricey.

OK, I'll bite. How long for a G5 to "chew through" one of these 160 point proteins? Less than 34 hours? now now, we already have ease of use, UI, industrial design, and security on you poor guys. last thing i want to do is tell you how bloody fast they are and take away price/performance to boot. S...

I've been trying to catch up with Semm again and not to give up to CoolGav but it seems it is all in vain. Plus there is Dasman lurking behing. Oh well! I have however discovered a post on Arstechnica forums about dual Xeons 2.66 running at 3.4 Ghz. This is what I'm thinking of. Not likely to get it...

Hey if I upgrade my 1700 I think a t-bred KT333 it is, to a 2400 or 2500 would I notice the change or just be overheating it?

Huh?

Have an appel. Or an aardappel. Or nothing.

Found it. It is here: http://www.boston.quik.com/rph/fah.html

Seems it ain't easy in C# to read a data structure from the disk like you can in C. Bummer.

I asked a long time ago about formats of various client side files that F@H client produces, such as queue.dat. I was given a link to some .c source code. Trouble is - I forgot all about it and can't find that post anymore. Any ideas where it is? Thanks!

Yes seems to be no voltage adjustments on this board: http://forums.amdmb.com/showthread.php? ... did=301915

However you can always drop a wire into the socket. I did that and my board now produces 1.8v instead of 1.6v.

Just got 896 PPW on p824_p53dimer824. PC stats Barton 2.41 Ghz, 200 FSB, DDR 3200 single channel. Wow! Almost 1k PPW!

Oh! Now the announcement has lost it's touch

I have Shuttle AN35N (single channel model) and it's got 4 holes for 7000AlCu and it is a good budget mobo on NForce2 chipset. It's not a _great_ mobo but it is stable cheap and works.

Why our cheerleaders the best?

Just swapped a 2000+ Palomino with 2200+ Thorton, then dropped a wire in the socket to fix the vcore at 1.8v and o/ced the #*@()*# out of this sucker (stock speed 1.8 Ghz at 1.6v). Currently running at 2.36 Ghz (174 Mhz bus) and folding almost as quick as my 2.4 Barton. Ph33r m3! :twisted: But is i...

This is definatly an interesting idea, and being interested in web development myself, I have a few ideas forming in my head, but I think it's a lot of work. Do you have a website already ColdFlame? And if so what's it hosted on? I work with PHP and MySQL on GNU/Linux at home for fun, and could kno...

Don't tell me you never read www.fatwallet.com It is all there, in plain English

I don't use EMIII. Maybe I really need to dig into the format of those different files F@H client produces and write a bunch of tools to do some statistics. One problem would be that none of my tools would work in Linux

I think running your RAM async from CPU does not give you much. In any case, F@H does not seem to benefit from 200 FSB compared to 166. $50 for 512 of DDR 2700 is the going price nowadays. Just this week CompUSA had a stick for $40 on sale/after rebate. My 1 GB of DDR 2100 cost me $50 from Staples. ...

I think there are some missing pieces of info that I need to suggest something: 1. What is your budget per PC? 2. What is the intended usage for these machines (what is admin?) 3. Do you plan to overclock? 4. Do you feel dventurous? In any case, here is some raw info for you to chew on. CPU: Your op...

Yes you are right, I've observed the PPW fluctiations myself. For example, yesterday I've observed 640 PPW and then 608 PPW on a different frame.

Yea I missed on the video card and I think David Hays has a good inexpensive heatsink (FalconRock?) or something which is cheap and cools very good. However, I was astonished that a KT400 motherboard and a $65 CPU can perform pretty much at 3000+ speeds (depending on the application) with little wor...

I recently got myself a Thorton 2200+ ($65) which is effectively a Barton with 256KB L2 cache. I'm very impressed by the ease of overclocking on these beasts. (It might be related to the fact that Barton core is the "best" 32-bit AMD core in existence from o/c prospective). I had some limited experi...
