We're back at the #400 spot in Folding!

This is all thanks to some returning members along with the folk that stayed throughout the summer! The way things are going we'll be at #395 within a week. It's nice to see such a small team making progress again. I finally have my new quad core running all four cores to the hilt and when I get an 8800GT or better then that should really help out. Good going all! ^*^

I need to get my desktop (and the two spares I have :oops: ) going on this. I just have the family computer (Athlon XP 2600) running this.

I got my Gentoo system running it on both cores at boot now. Took a little bit to get it running properly as a service though. If anyone else is running a Linux system and would like to start it up as a service, I can post the init script here.

Well, as it turns out, the 6.20(and the 5.03) client was taking between 36 and 48 hours to get a new WU which was unacceptable. So I then went ahead and installed the 6.22beta2 SMP client, it automatically loads all four cores and has behaved well this last day or so that I have had it loaded. It has since finished a 2.1K PPD WU and has started working on a new 1.5K PPD WU. There's no more waiting for WUs! ^*^

A couple of things to note, as the deadlines are quite short(3 to 6 days) one would have to basically run the rig 24/7 and needs an always on pretty fast internet connection as we're talking about 5MB results and similar downloads. This client also needs lots of RAM 550MB, so my RAM load is now at 1GB out of 2GB total. So far so good, I'm just waiting for the EOC results to be posted at 12 PM EST, about 1.5 hrs. from now.

XPx86, but it works on XPx64 along with both Vista flavours too as per F@H. Somewhat different installation procedure but not complicated. I found a nice and simple install guide here.

Ya, that would cramp your style for sure.:( I hope at least you're getting back to some normality.

I got a couple work units like that at the beginning of running the new client on Gentoo and also my FreeBSD system. They are 500k steps and they took forever to complete. My older/slower FreeBSD system is still working on the second one and I started it up a few weeks ago. My Gentoo system is quite a bit faster, but it still took 2-3 days to complete the WUs, though they were worth almost 600 points. Lately I've been getting assigned stuff that finishes in 8-12 hours and isn't worth so much on the points scale.
