and didn't I get a 15k tiffy?

you know i could have sworn i gave you your 15K tiffy today


think i must have missed a few 7.5Ks too that i would normally have awarded - must be feeling in a scrougey mood

i'll edit the tiffy's in a mo - gonna check who else i've missed out

edit: ok sorted the tiffy's - sorry about that
think i got a bit confused with which scores to recognise as tiffy's

i've decided on
1K 2.5k 5k 7.5k 10k 15k 20k 25k 30k 40k 50k ..... 90k 100k 120k 140k ..... 180k 200k 225k 250k 275k 300k etc
as it should keep most people happy i would hope

My production wasnt great this week I must have got some low scoring units. Quick question. I upgraded to 2Gb of ram but I have my console set up for 1GB how can I change the settings. Also should I make the full 2GB available to each core or 1Gb per core?
Thanks
Scott

To change the configuration of the client first stop the service running (Right-Click My Computer and select Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services, scroll down to the FAH service and stop it)

Browse to the console and make a shortcut to it and then in the shortcut properties add the -configonly switch to the end of the shortcut target so it reads

"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\FAH502-Console.exe" -configonly

run the shortcut and you will get a client window with the config options in it

After you have finished the window will close automatically (as you used the configonly switch) and then you can restart the service.


As for how much memory to allow for a dual core system you should really only allow half the total for each core - of course if if they do release something that looks for over 1Gig you may want to reconfigure the clients again (currently i don't think there is anything nearly that large).

Anyone got an idea what's happened to the stats in my sig????

Yep just noticed those myself. I have just tried the update link that Garp gave me in case of the sigs failing - no change yet but maybe it takes a while to run whatever it has to do

they'll be back soon enough i'm sure

 

[rich99million]

you can always do as VeNT has done and give the EOC stats siggy's a go


linky

just be sure to use the &bg=1 on the end to keep well within the 400x75 pixels siggy rules

edit:

seems simple enough
