When you complete your first work unit F@H adds your name to the list.

Depends on what you mean by "better". 5.03 is the graphical client so some people find it easier to use, plus you can watch a visual representation of the work via the screen saver. 5.04 is the text-only console which takes fewer system resources and completes WU somwhat faster.

Until yesterday the X1950's worked with the graphical beta version, but no more until the driver is sorted for it to work! I am just using the console version now until it is fixed, I found the graphical version much faster for completing units

Yes 5.03 and 5.04 only use the CPU. The GPU client (5.91 beta) runs on video cards.

First for me. If I count all the points I have submitted, I have a bit over 1.25 million.




I have a few machines down though, mine at home are packed away as we remodel.

There is more info about the following at F@H forum- If you have a x1900xt/xtx, x1950, x1800, x1600, or "maybe" x1650 you can use the gpu version and fold much faster. But yeah the average cpu and average work units take like ~24 hours~.

Also I think that if you are a gamer any open gl game will fail to start if you have the graphical(screensaver type) version of F@H running at the same time as an OpenGl game.

Here is another example of how using a single core cpu with hyper-threading running two clients of F@H can slow down the progress of stanford university's work on the F@H program- This is from Vijay Pande, the head guy.
In reply to:

Thus, to get to GEN200, the non-HT machines would take (34 hours/WU) x (200 WUs) / (24hours/day) = 283 days whereas the HT machines would take (52 hours/WU) x (200 WUs) / (24hours/day) = 434 days: a difference of 150 days ~ 5 months.

Of course, the HT machines would have 2x as many simulations. However, if the minimum number of generations is high (as it is in many of our newer, more complex simulations), having 2x as many useless simulations is still useless.

I am re-starting one of the clients on my hyperthreaded PC with the -oneunit flag so it sends in the results and doesn't download another one. Then after the results are sent I will delete my 2nd console-text-only version folder and continue folding from my original folder.

Yeah, I found that out when I tried it on my x1650Pro. I wonder if it will support my x1300XT...

Just signed up. Gonna be running it 24/7 on the G5.

EDIT: Gonna be running both the gpu version and normal version on my main rig during light usage and/or sleeping

EDIT2: Nix that, gpu version doesn't like my machine. lol. Just gonna run std version in background as often as possible on the AMD, along with running the G5 as close to 24/7 as possible.

Im back online with the gpu beta after returning to official ati driver, which to be honest is about as good as any others in games!

Ive got it running flat out, 25 million iterations per work unit lol, now thats alot of data!

Its good to see the amount of people that would give there precious idle time and wear and tear of their systems on here, its good to know there are people that care about stuff like this

Yes it is very good. In fact the standard orthos testing program uses gromac cores to test stability.
