Hi,

I would really like to try folding, I just don't know if it is worthwhile doing it with my current rig.....I have read the quick start guide & got most of it into my noggin (kind of), I just don't know what to expect of my rig & really what I should be running to make the best of it.

The parts of the PC that matter are:

Q6600 @3.6, watercooled.
MSI HD5850 Twin Frozr II

I downloaded the FAH Tracker app in the guide Biffa made & it is running on SMP right now, currently saying 4% complete & 6.104.9 PPD.....is this normal?

Should I be running a GPU client too? I have been reading that some/all current ones are pretty much pointless on my card right now.

Thanks for any help in advance, sorry to be so dim....

Thanks for the comments, more or less what I've read but it's better to have it confirmed.

The PC I use is my main one, I know it's far from the best but I really would like to think I'm doing my bit in this noble cause.

Right now the PPD section says 7,986.4 which according to what I've read seems quite ok for my rig.

Cheers guys, I really appreciate the welcome & the help.

Yep, just though lol.......I can't seem to check what I have done PPD wise but I guess I just started so maybe I have no records yet.

I'm confuzzled (easy done I know)

When I run the folding prog it says my PPD should be anywhere between 6,000 & 10,000 but when each job is done I only get the points in the other box (something like 585 etc).

Am i doing something wrong again or is this normal.....I just want to be normal......just once.

Thanks all, again. I'm sure it's not the last daft question from me.

Takes me more like 10 hours to do one WU rather than 1 per hour though lol.

Flaming xspc and their smelly tubing, the Mrs says the pc can't run overnight because the new tubing reeks, she is right too.
Ordered some new stuff, hopefully stink free this time, won't be here till wednesday at best now.
