the 550 is off to the races. started on the WU the 520 left off on and looks like its gonna finish it off in an hour.
so far it looks like a WU that took the GT 520 18-20 hours will get chewed up in about 3 1/2 by the 550. mikey likes The new power supply is very nice. Gold box and bag for the extra cables. partially modular so the cables will tidy up nicely. |

My stats
Does anyone know why I jump up/down so much in points per day? I have both the GPU and the quad core folding. In my history, I had to stop folding in Nov due to getting a new graphics card that wasn't supported in F@H yet, now I'm back folding with it but I fluctuate between 4k and 6k points per day. 
I really need to play around in Linux more and get my Mythbuntu box folding whenever it is not doing anything... Kharn |

I'm in.
Threw it on a few of my computers, having some issues with the linux one tho... I installed it and when it finished I closed the install box... now I can't find it ANYWHERE! Tried re-installing, same thing... Anyone running Debian who installed it that could point me to it? Also, I put it on a computer running a pair of AMD 6970's that are NOT crossfired... is it going to be faster if I crossfire them? |

I had a problem when I installed it on my mythbuntu box and couldn't find it again, but I'm a total linux n00b so I was doing it with step by step instructions.
I keep forgetting to unpause F@H when I stop playing BF3.  |

Currently have folding@home running on my ps3, and using my over the hill 260gtx on my desktop. I also have boinc running milkyway and seti on the laptops and the cpu only of my desktop.
I have a few other computers hanging around I'll probably get set up and running over the next little while. I'm currently around 100th place on the arfcom folding team  |

If you want to tweak it a bit you can set it to advanced setting and play with it a bit. You may also want to consider the boinc client, you can choose what cause you want to contribute towards. There are plenty of astronomy, physics and health related jobs. |

I just downloaded the client and started running it, I may have an old laptop but it's something.

I noticed the new client handles multi core, single core, and gpu all in one installation
although it doesn't seem to have options to reduce it to less than 100% usage like the older versions did. I prefer to run it at less than 100% for heat reasons, although right now even with it being in the high 80sF in my room my cpu's hottest core is only 53C and my gpu at 65% fan is only 62C I am getting some lag in open apps though due to the cpu usage edit: found it, you have to set the drop down in the upper right to expert and then go to configure and it has additional options |

I like the new client. I have found that I can run almost anything without interruptions. FAH is pretty good about stepping aside...

On my Crunchbang10 install which is Debian based, the folder is found in ~/.folding In ~/.folding, use ./fah6 to start (with appropriate flags!). Hope this helps! #! machine is running the SMP client on an C2D for about 2K ppd. ETA - I dislike this behavior, but with the SMP client on #! I found that the CPU process (via conky) uses only half the processor when using the internet. CPU usage drops to 50% max while the Iceweasel browser is open. That's not good when you are running SMP on a dual core machine! Close the browser, and utilization climbs back up to ~100%. Now I have to keep the browser closed all the time on this laptop, which is also used for streaming music through Subsonic. Not a good thing. Anyone ever see that behavior? |

Any chance I could talk some of you into helping team 33 make a 1 Billion point month?

Glad to see the Team moving up in the rankings, I should start up the dowstairs heater...
Well that didn't last long, Thought I would upgrade with P5N-T so I could run multiple GPUs and spent 8 hours with one problem after another and it's still not up yet...We'll see if we can get it going again this weekend :( |
