Folding Question

I 'retired' from DC quite a while ago, around the time BOINC was introduced. I then drifted around between projects (Climate Prediction, Predictor, and then Rosetta) but never really settled. Main reason is I always give in to the noise of leaving machines on 24/7.

I've decided to have a tinker (pun?) with F@H though - not being so dedicated as before though, which means if I feel like switching the PCs off at night I will. Better slow but steady I think. Will have to see how it goes and see if it's sustainable. Anyway, my question is this; I've installed F@H on my main rig (P4 with HT) and have FahMon running. I'm currently 55% through both WUs with an ETA of 2 and a half days :eek:

is this normal? I downloaded them both on the 11th.

Not sure what you're saying; is this normal?

According to FahMon the cores for both are Gromacs, projects 2051 and 2052, for 267 and 266 points respectively. Machine is a P4 3.0E, 512mB ram.

edit: Is it possible to change teams once you've started crunching? I never said before but I did quite a bit of F@H for CustomPC at one point and it would be good if I could move it over to TOcUK

Ok sounds good thanks

. Also do you know anything about the question in my edit? I guess you replied while I was typing lol.

Well I used the same name in both teams so they should contribute to the same account. Shame I can't transfer the points to OcUK though

.

One more question: What are QMDs? I keep seeing people mentioning them but I would like more info.

Thanks, null

I take it QMDs don't run on Pentium Ms then? Just thought I'd make sure. Also, how can I make sure that I get QMDs on my P4 since the first 2 are Gromacs?
