Howdy.
Hope all is well in your world!
Just joined
Yup, thanks to the PS3...I almost feel guilty taking FOLDING off line to play some golf!
It’s become an obsession to get into the top 100!
Nah that’s not me.

I’ve been slacking off. I used to be way up there for single processor folding.
I’m looking at building around an X2 5600. I’m waiting for the DX10 crap to come down a little before I build.
I've already uninstalled it...I'll reinstall and let you know later....I'll check the main forum for a hint in the meantime.
I just upgraded to Vista (got a new Dell with it on it), and it is a strange animal indeed. SimCity 4 refuses to run on it, but Ghost Recon works like a champ. Folding is the only important program (for me) that it has choked on. As far as internet goes, I like it, once I got past all the queries to allow programs to run.
Thanks for the help!
Went to the cemetery this morning to honor pop.
BBQ pit is churning out meat left and right. Watermelons cooling in fridge. All kids and gk here.(save one gc)
God bless our military on this their day.
All is right with the world.
Hope you and yours have a great day as well.
Welcome to the folding club!!
Proud to b foldin’ for the Gipper.
BAH! I hit it last week (or the week before ;).
Thx for your help!
If I could find a way around the Deep Freeze program in the computer lab where I work, I could have 26 more computers folding at all times. Still, I’m happy with the six processors I have running.
Thank for the help.
Please ping if you have any questions!
My fault for not noticing that you and several othesr hit milestones. Its been a month between threads, way too long.
Deep Freeze is a tough nut to crack...I was once at a sysm admin conference (geek out) and the vendor had it running on a new system. *IF* you could crack it, you won the computer. After 3 days only three people had been able to circumvent the protection.
Are you the sys admin and have just lost the password?
Well, you could slipstream Folding@home into the Deep Freeze image so that it gets reloaded each time. Maybe a better way is to keep F@H inside the Thawspace so no work units are lost between reimages.
Do we need to have a bake sale to raise money for beer and brisket to ummm ... create an attitude adjustment with the sysadmins?
I think you two are among the oldest FReepers still folding.
I know your names surface on those old threads from Dec 2005!
A special thanks to you both for generously helping new folders for a very long time.
OK. Just set my P4 3.2ghz/2gb Ram and Dual PentiumD 3.4ghz/2gb Ram for the FR team. If you have a ping list, you can add me.
Will do. You will find that F@H is addicting, and helping researchers find cures for disease is what it is all about.
Blessings!
You can run either the console or the GUI version on the P4. You have plenty of memory so it will fly.
On teh Dual CPU system, I recommend that you start with the GUI. You can run two instances of the GUI, just start them from different directories and mark them as Machine ID 1 and Machine ID 2.
You can also take a look at the Windows SMP client here:

if you want to try a faster work unit. You certainly have plenty of horsepower.
No, I’m not the system administrator. I’m sure the head of our technology department has the code, but I don’t.
I’ll mention it to the system administrator and see what I can do.
