I cant' find mine, its not in the default windows favorites place...

Its a html file in the C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla Firefox folder (far as I can remember)
 
Found it. Cheers.

Thats actually much better than the way ie manages them.

Edit: I want to import some favorites ina folder and it only lets me do them one at a time. Any idea how to import them all at once?

Edit2: Anyone who's interested, i've been playing around with the google browser sync and it works rather well. I have it synronising just my bookmarks so they are the same on my desktop and laptop.

I was just posting that! Been messing about with it...

No one minds a little off topic natter, saves a few threads with a hundred people all saying the same thing...
Not much else happens in this corner of the forums so we might aswell use it.

Edit: Solved my problem, set it to import from ie and put the favorites in the ie favorites folder.

How can it?
It can only run two instances at a time and two will be idle.
I find FAHmon a little unreliable at teling me which ones are idle and which ones aren't. Check task mananger/processes to check that its only working two (although you can't really tell which two).

The logs are saying its working on all 4 at a good pace...eg 15 min per frame on a pair of 200 pointers, 7min per frame on a pair of 90-something point units
 
I could be, and if it is then the switching between each one will slow it down a little. If you set the priority of one set to ide and the other to low it should only work on two at a time.

I think its slower than normal, but the fact its doing 4 cores seems to at least partly make up for it...

As for what task manager says:

Instance #1: 45%
#2: 45%
#3: 5%
#4: 5%
 
Mine does 50% each and 0% for the other two. That seem ok tho. Now it will never run out of work, and if it does simply add two more instances.

The quick and easy guide to folding at home phrases:

Stomping is overtaking.
Dumping is submitting points.

;)

So top stompers are those who have overtaken the most people and top dumpers are those who have submitted the most points.

Ahh i see.
Looks like i can stomp(for now) but cant dump high :(
Shows how good the Celeron D is doesnt it :rolleyes:
 
Ah dunc, I thought I had you this week whilst watching the EOC stats. I forgot that rich takes his from Friday and EOC takes their weekly stats from Sunday. I thought I had a 400 point victory. :p

I'm crunching on Windows Vista now and it's not going so well. I fired it up using my mounted XP partition's WUs. It instantly deleted them and downloaded new ones. The service install function doesn't work and it seems to have trouble connecting every once in a while. FahMon doesnt work, AFAIK. However, I want to stick with it a bit longer becasue with the new NT 6.0 kernel supposedly memory issues are much imporved and methinks FAH might run a bit faster, even with all the system bloat.

I thought you did too. I have probably another 1000 to dump before the EOC stats roll over to next week :D

Hmmm... I had toyed with the idea of installing Vista too. Perhaps I will wait until you work out the bugs, and tricks with it ;)

Dunc

I've not had any of those problems. I'm doing the same as you, running both instances from my XP HD. I fired them up using the configonly switch and it installed both as a service with no trouble and after a restart carried on crunching. The only thing i had to do with fahmon was add the clients again.

Did you log on as administrator or were you using the account you set up?
