Current Status of F@H Teammates

[A Cheese Danish]

I will be back shortly. Still haven't had time to get my desktop back up and running.
Hoping to get it up by Sunday

 

[BUCK NASTY]

Get that thing running. I'm anxious to see how the i860 performs on -bigadv's. I'd rather go that route than an i920. In the long run it will be cheaper to run for me. (Besides, I really like the ASUS Sabertooth motherboard.) I have a month before I can order anything, so I'm looking forward to my fellow "Nasty" to blaze a trail for me.

Heh, the Nasty Brothers...

folding on my onboard HD3300 still working on getting the i7 rig done

 

[3volvedcombat]

Almost hit 50,000k with under 100 Wu'z O:!!!!!!!!!!

I keep getting 1888's ive only got 2-5 783's man. Just pure 1888's plauqe me. Ill be on tomarwows F@H milestones list with 50k to show the world

I bet that's even worse than the Geforce 9300 (800 PPD)

Good luck with the i7 system

 

[johnspack]

Sorry Sneaky! Gonna make you work to pass me!

 

[NastyHabits]

Just put a GTX 260 in the PC in my system specs. Should be doing 20K+ PPD for the team.

Maybe even some pie!

 

[theonedub]

pie is so elusive nowadays, im trying to get in with all I have. May get the PS3 on for 24hours for a little edge on TeXBill- he is shutting me down at the 1yd line

 

[oily_17]

Waiting impatiently for my WC parts to arrive...I just hope they get here this week.

I am just itching to get this new rig running..

Man I'm trying...
Let me get the other rig going (waiting on parts) with another 285GTX and I might make it....
That would be 4 rigs with CPU's & GPU's folding and 3VM's also folding.. Maybe I can break 200,000 in 7 days time..

Thats massive power right there. As soon as a complete guide comes up on bigadv WUs I may pull my i7 off of WCG for a little bit and put in some real F@H work

 

[p_o_s_pc]

wondering if i should crunch on my i7 or fold on it... If i fold on it i will only have a X2 crunching (MEGA LAME!) if i have it crunch i will only have a 8800GT+HD3300 folding (LAME!)

enjoy your GTX260.

Wait...aren't you going to pick up some GTX series cards to fold on so that you can crunch on the i7?

 

[bogmali]

Heh, the Nasty Brothers...

BUCK-not sure if you're folding a -bigadv WU yet but going back to what El Fiendo was saying, I suggest that you start folding the 7 core SMP since we do not know if the 860 is capable of matching up to his big brother (920). Another area that I'm concerned about is the memory capacity since you're topped out at 8GB which is more than plenty. I guess it will be "hit and miss" on your part and a learning process for everyone else that wants to follow suit

i plan to get a 5850 for the i7 but may get some 285's but i can't right now as i have alot of things to pay for

Fold on the X2, 8800 and 3300. Crunch on i7.

Ok, I'm back to -smp 7. I was getting core errors, but it turned out to be my overclock. Dropped a few base clocks and i'm stable @ 15% progress now. I'm getting 38 mins TBF as of now with 2x GTX260's folding on the same rig. CPU is clocked @ 3.7ghz with 8gb. It funny, I took out 4gb ram(dropped down to 2 sticks) and she was stable @ 4GHZ. Must be the on die mem controller, but I need all 8gb of ram. After this WU, I will try -smp 8 again being more assured of this rigs stability. Has anyone installed a Ramdisk for -bigadv yet?

 

[bogmali]

The newest VMWare build (courtesy of LinuxRouter from EVGA) has the RAMDISK, decoupler, autostart at login, and autobackup as options. Point your browser HERE and it has all the explanations as what each one of those programs do

I'm DLing it now and will give it a shot once my current fold ends.

There is also a torrent link to the builds.

With 4 sticks that might limit your memory frequency.

I'm using Linux FAH Image v0.6 and now see that he has a v1.0 available so I've got some downloading to do. Yes, he has the explanations but I'm not sure I understand!

I've started my 3rd -bigadv and still using 8 cores. This time I'm also folding a XFX 9800 GTX+. My TBF has increased about 1 minute.

Maybe in a couple of days I'll have a better understanding of how to implement a Ramdisk.

Yeah, I'm not too good with Linux and the details look a little involved. Hopefully someone can get it working and tutor the rest of us.

I came back from a weekend away from home to find the ethernet cable was not solidly connected to the PC with the GTX 260. No points. The F@H window showed 94 connection retries.

< that about says it all

Folding Heaven

All my Nvidia cards are working on 353's and my ATI on a 384. Can't get much better.

I have both my i7 and i5 with 285GTX's folding right now Plus have several VM's included with both of them also.
Bought a AMD setup from Stinger and just got the 285 for it today, That one will be folding by the weekend...

Should be doing some serious points in another week, I HOPE.....
