Where can I find that version of Ubuntu with WCG already on it? I got a Socket A machine around here I want to put to work...

Are there any stability testing programs for Ubuntu? I intend to overclock the machine, but I want to make sure it's rock-solid stable before I start crunching on it.

You can install BOINC in Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 using the Synaptic Package Manager. Select the 3 packages - boinc, boinc-manager, and boinc-client and it should install OK.

Not sure if it installs the latest version as mine is running an older one, but works fine on my Ubuntu server.

I think that it is a round up of our current status, not what we actually earned. In some project we have more gold then silver. Anyway a good representation of our efforts. Thx KieX.

Socket A? Nice. Won't put out high numbers, but every little bit helps.

Oily's method will work fine, but there is a diskless Ubuntu solution.
I believe this is what you want.

I'm not Brandon, but here are the numbers you want: http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=user&proj=bwcg&name=670861
His 7-day average is 2,397 but yesterday and the day before he had a bit over 4000.

well my client says over 2K but yesterday it shows over 4K so it varies i guess. oh and BTW!! the evercool transformer 4 is keeping it around 80DEG full load 1.35V @ 4Ghz

Chicken Patty · Mar 25, 2011

Thanks Binary :toast:

Brandon, glad it's still going for you! You should be averaging about 4k PPD now.

Chicken Patty · Mar 25, 2011

I gave you two only? I swore I had all four, or maybe I'm thinking of the clipsfor my mega.

The mega keeps me X2 at 19c load, PASSIVE! God I love that thing!

Wow, that is incredible! You could probably overclock it quite a bit, with those temps.

Chicken Patty · Mar 25, 2011

I'm going to put the mega on my X6 rig and the Xiggg on the X2, I'll benefit both ways from that. Just don't have time, hopefully I can do it today.

A little side-sticker: how do you get the Folding Member besides the WCG Cruncher sticker?

Enter your F@h username in Miscellaneous Options in the User Control Panel. You may need a certain number of credits, though.

Chicken Patty · Mar 25, 2011

I believe you need a minimum of 100k, the same as in WCG. If I'm not mistaken that is.

VulkanBros · Mar 25, 2011

The site says I have: 123682 (certificate) ..... guess I will have to fold a bit harder

VulkanBros · Mar 25, 2011

By the way ..... how much is the WCG/BOINC influenced by the Folding@Home client? Performance wise......

Chicken Patty · Mar 25, 2011

Are you sure you put your username in your user CP identical to how it is in your clients?

As far as performance it slows down WCG a bit, noticeable but not huge

BinaryMage · Mar 25, 2011

Make sure you don't use the GUI client, it eats up resources. The command line client is much more efficient.

Username is exactly the same as on the folding@home website - case sensitive it is....

I use the latest Nvidia GPU console client/command line client - performance: 712 ns/day it says
