    New Year's Thrash.

    Thanks Pat, I'll take a look also. Look at the latest update, looks even worse than before. My guess is the chips heating up? I have another board I can try, it's an Arima NM46(1?) I believe, it's the original board for the server. I can't look at the moment to see what board is in there for the...

    Looks bad too... :( No time for any kind of tinkering or outage. :eek:

    New Year's Thrash.

    Congrats Kat and Tom. :D Thanks again Pat for your help. Finally got a 6900 to try out. Not doing real good at the moment but at least I know where I stand with it. About ~50:00 tpf. :o

    I haven't seen any bonus points for GPU. I've only seen then for SMP work. Uni-processor and GPU seem to be point for point so long as they are completed on time. I'm sure someone will correct me.

    Running BigAdv on a budget:

    Thanks for the reply. Delete as required. It is taking 11:50~ per fold with 8 cores at 2.3ghz and only a 6701 wu. May be better off waiting for the other processors before I try it.

    Thank you Pat, it's been fun and nice to play with a computer again. Thank you also. Without you, I wouldn't have got my nerd back. :rofl:

    Running BigAdv on a budget:

    It looks to me like this could have worked for me. I may just try it, with a few changes ( cpu number ) when I get my other two processors. I wonder though, will 4 2.3ghz opteron 2356's do the work one of these AMD x6's will do? Sorry for the jack. Your opinion needed. Thanks

    Ok thanks.

    New Year's Thrash.

    Thanks Pat. I'm also a bit unclear about the -bigadv and -advmethods switches, I read where one cancels the other or could. Do you use the -advmethods switch or click the square for that in the console? Just curious, thanks.

    If I'm doing the math right and adding a little guess, it should take about 19 hours to complete this WU.

    You're too funny Kat. You know how to keep him in line. :D

    New Year's Thrash.

    Pat, in regards to avmethods, is there and easy way to tell if you have one running or not? I had two processors bad, or not properly setup or who knows. I removed two of the opteron 2356's and have a better tpf with only two and 8 cores. Still not so good but Starting 8 threads Making 2D...

    New Year's Thrash.

    That settles it, I'll never get those kind of points. :rofl: Thanks for a better understanding of the extra points. Most of my computers only finish WU's just-in-time before a big fat 0 is earned. smp that is. :spit: So, smp is not worth as much as smp with -bigadv selected correct...

    New Year's Thrash.

    I think I got my 12k points for the day. :baby: I'm about to give up on my old server. It just can't make the ppd with the 2 quad cores at 2.3ghz. Tried the 2.8's but they are only slightly better and way more heat. Time for some gpu tests. Easy points :rofl: I'm far from having the...

    Do a good deed with your computer.

    Looking through " Terminal " -tail of the process for folding on the linux box I came across this. Also, I fixed the unknown argument, I had a fat finger in there. :D Anyone have any ideads? 10 percent is an hour saved if it's repairable. Writing final coordinates. Average load...

    List the specs of your Duramax Diesels folding rig

    These seem to be kicking out steady ppd judging from your stats. Just curious if your athlon x4 puts out more than the gt 240? Or, is it the opposite?

    List the specs of your Duramax Diesels folding rig

    There are a bunch of computers as part of this team, only some have posted there builds/computers. I'm pretty sure we could all benefit by everyone posting, we could even use all specs to pick and choose new builds or fluff some of our closet processors. I have a bunch of oldies myself, but no...
