Well, my problem is, I'm poor on a fixed income, so I'd need to be able to make 2 payments. Right now more than $100 this month would kill me, but I could pay another $100 next month...

Aww dang, how much money did you drop on the acquisition?

Nada, zero, zip. It got it at work. It had a dead hard disk, out of warranty, and they didn't want to pay to fix it. I gave them a recycled PC instead.

Don't shoot the messenger...

How fast are those duals running? Does it recognize all 8 cores. I asume that you use -smp 8. What are your TPF?

Not blaming you my friend. You pointed me in the right direction for the software. I was implying a big "thank you" for steering me in the right direction.

Not 8 cores, just 4. Old dual-core, non-virtual Xeons running at 2 GHz. I was fooled because the workstations just one model newer have two quad-core Xeons. Also, it's a Dell, so there is no fooling around in the BIOS to get any more out of it. Fahmon reports a lousy 600 PPD. Which means it's only twice as fast as my ancient 1.6 GHz laptop when it comes to SMP folding. It's not on my electric bill, so I'll just let it add a dribble to TPU's total.

As for my Xeon scenario, I must apply logic to save my bank account.

8 real cores @ 3.2GHz is still likely less than 4 real and 4 virtual at 4.01GHz. For about $700 I could get an i7 (similar level of components as in that ad) that'd do the same so it really wouldn't be cost effective to get this. Yea that sounds right. I hope I believe me.

The problem with Xeon's is they use really expensive, really slow ECC memory. Most server motherboards are optimized for disk access, network throughput, and stability -- not processing power. Your money is better spent elsewhere. I hope this helps you save your bank account.

What's up with the new 450 point WU's? They make my GTX 200 cards look like GTS 250's. :confused:

thebluebumblebee · Feb 10, 2010

I don't know about the 450 point WU's, but I just got a 375 point WU that I'm getting 7,535 PPD on my 8800GTS/512! TPF of 43 seconds! Project 5799

mstenholm · Feb 10, 2010

Had them both. Hate them

BUCK NASTY · Feb 10, 2010

the 375's run like crazy on Fahcore11 v1.19, but are so-so on Fahcore 11 v1.31

theonedub · Feb 10, 2010

Ive had the 450s-> not a fan, never had 5799 yet. At least not on my 275s, Ill check the other later.

Now that... I couldn't stop myself. It's got the 16 threads man! 16! 2 bigadv at once. Need to see PCI-e configuration but ...

What about a Westmere or two? I have no idea if bigadv can use 12 treads.

Update on my SMP (mis)adventures

I don't know exactly why, but I got that dual Xeon workstation working better. It was only using about 25% of the CPU. I stopped it, deleted the work folders, restarted it and it downloaded a new core. It now has all 4 cores pegged at 100%, but still only putting out 1200 PPD at an attrocious 22:15 TPF. :ohwell:

Are you using FAHMon or HFM? HFM will include the bonus points so you may be pleased with how many points it's producing. Did I remind you that it was free?

I get bonus points at 1200 PPD using the a1 core?

I was hoping someone else was going to answer this. I think the bonuses only come with the new a3 core. I think.

No, no bonus for a1. It´s maybe not fair to the project but I delete the work folder when I see a a1 in progress.

So the HD 5670 arrived yesterday, and it's both cool & quiet at load & idle, so I want to fold on it. I'll try and get F@H set up this evening or after school, anything I need to know about folding on ATi cards?

View this tutorial ati setup

And add these environment variables. They will minimize your CPU usage.
BROOK_YIELD 2
CAL_NO_FLUSH 1
CAL_PRE_FLUSH 1
FLUSH_INTERVAL 128

FLUSH_INTERVAL can be set anywhere from 128 to 256. Lower number for stability, higher less so.

Man down, man down, sorry rig down, rig down. My 3G internet solution for the rig in my workshop had problems so I moved the rig (my 2 week old X58 open rig) inside to connect to the internet. All fine untill my dog got a bit excited when I dressed for the late walk. He got entangled in the power cord and MB, HD and PSU landed on the floor.

Status is that it will no longer boot. Seems like an insulator at the 1336 socket had broken off (picture to follow). It keeps restarting and never get further then 88 in the boot sequence. Any suggestions for what to check?

digibucc · Feb 11, 2010

omg that's horrible. i remember my dog jumping up on the table holding my 22" apple studio display - when they were $2,000. out of warranty. bad day.

i'm sorry i have nothing constructive to offer, i just feel for you horribly.

sorry :-(

[Ion] · Feb 11, 2010

So I got F@H set up on the HD 5670 using Buck's excellent guide (thanks! --- everything worked fine). I'm currently folding away @ ~60c (I love this cooler, it's silent and the 8800GT idled higher than this). I currently have one of those lovely 511 pt WUs, so I doubt my PPD is going to be very good, but we'll see

Just a quick questions. This is the first time I have been able to Fold for more than 16 hours straight. I have been playing a console RPG, so the card has been folding for like 3 days straight and going. As long as the card is well cold it should shorten its life or anything, right?

I have not noticed or had any problems after running any of my cards for weeks and months straight. My cards are all OCed to boot. I dont think there is anything for you to worry about esp if your temps are under control. Fold on :rockout:

What game are you playing? Is it ME2?
