Welcome to the new F@H section

[Castiel]

I have 6 rigs in total. Four of them are Quad 8800GS/9600GSO rigs. I have a dual 8800GTS 512 rig and lastly a dual 9800GTX+ rig(my main rig). Pulling juice from 2 addt'l rooms with 12/3 extension cords. This folding thing can be detrimental to the addictive type personality. I know mmaakk has several rigs running also. He should post up his farm cause' I know it just got a new addition.

Can you post pics or your farm?

Well when my board gets back form RMA (Foxconn a7da-s) Ill start putting together a folder...but not sure about what GPU ill use...it will have Phenom 9850BE, 2GB of 1066Mhz Ram and not sure what else ill use but I just need to know what to DL and how to set it up

In the mean time ill fold on my current system when im not using it.

This is not mean't to tell you everything, I'll wait for Buck_Nasty for that. But....

• Nvidia cards are the fastest at this time, and their low CPU usage allows you to run the SMP client on your CPU virtually unaffected, unlike the ATI cards.
• The sweet spot ($/PPD) seems to be somewhere between the 9800+ GTX to the 216 core GTX260's. Buck's twin 9800+GTX rig uses ones similar to this
• The old thread had lots of good info, you might want to read the last 10-20 pages especially message 4266 @ http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=13038&page=171
• You can go to Stanford's Folding site and gets tons of info, such as the Wiki that it points you to for the SMP client
• XP seems to be easier to use than Vista

Good news but i wish i can fold

Why are you not folding already? You have the hardware just sitting there going to waste.

That 4870x2 can be put to good use. and if its just one card the electricity bill doesn't go up much. Just dont watch tv and read a book instead!

ok ok... i like that OR, OR we DO watch tv AND fold.

if you REALLY feel guilty, invest in solar panels on your roof later in life.

Who thinks we need Team TPU F@H sigs?

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO!... lets make a thread jbunch to design sigs and such... we can do sigs and/or somthing in out avatars like a stripe at the bottom that says "TPU FOLDING TEAM"

My F@H siggie below is in TPU logo colors, maybe we can do something like that too. That would be so bad*ss if we had all team members with an official sig/avatar strip.

Yeah that's what I was thinking...Everyone having a team sig. That would be very bad ass!

ok so we (yeah i roped you in) started a poll and thread about new sigs: check it out: This can be the start of something very cool.

Thanks to W1zz for the new sub-forum and to Buck for the extreme effort he has put in to get everyone folding.

Also a big thanks to all who fold in the name of TPU and especially those who have folded for years now without stopping and have contributed lots of help to others looking to start.

The timing of this could not be better as we pass a new milestone and enter the top 100 folding teams.

Hopefully we will get a few stickies, to help take the pain out of setting up Folding@home, for anyone looking to start folding.

That made me

And if anyone wants to post up their folding farms then pics are always welcome
EDIT: Just seen the gallery ...so post your pics here

Hello all! I just started folding about a week ago using a different name. I thought I would use Folding as topic for a research paper. I also would appreciate a sticky guide for more efficient folding.

As soon as i get another GPU cabable of folding ill jump right bk to it.
