Welcome to the team. :)

Have you put the extra code for folding using regedit?
Get fahmon this will tell you about the folding and will give you a log. Check the log, it should say Extra SSE boost OK. If not check the regedit codes.

Do you have a dual core cpu, if so have you set it up 2 clients?

Out of curiosity what spec do you have?

Yep, the log says Extra SSE boost OK.

The spec isnt that impressive.. its just something a friend lent me, and it hasnt really been doing much. Its a P3-500mhz, 256mb ram.. :p

Welcome, Mr. Benjo! What you see when FAH is running is a process called FahCore_xx.exe running at about 100%. This is a scientific core and there are a bunch of difference ones, each identified by the numbers in the xx bit. Each core is for studying a different type of situation and that sort of thing. So what it does is download the WU, a set of points and information about a potien or a series of proteins. The core is the program that processes the next movements of the protein as it undergoes whatever process they're studying.

Oooh i see :)

So how do i actually check its folding? It doesnt seem to be doing much at the moment.. (maybe i'm expecting too much) And also, how do i join team ocuk?

:eek:

Thanks :)
 
Ok cool, yep its using about 95% of the CPU, i chose team 10, and its been going for about 20minutes :)

The rig is gonna be running 24/7 hopefully.. and its just dedicated to folding.. shame its not a brilliant spec :p

So i should see my name on the team list by tomorrow?

Cool.. :)

edit: Ooh, and yeh i'm using FAHmon
 
oh.. seems pretty pointless then :p

The ETA is still at N/A after about half an hour :/

edit: Its just done something:

[05:37:48] Completed 50000 out of 5000000 steps (1)

woooo 1% \o/

Whats the ETA on the WU in fahmon. You will see your name on the list when it is complete and is uploaded.
On my X2 3800+ some WU's take over 24 hours to complete so a P3 500mhz must take forever. Just wondering as some WU's have deadlines where they have to be completed by a certain date so your's might not complete it in time.

Lol.. well it did 9% last night.. the ETA is 4 days :/ Maybe the P3 is more suited to seti@home whilst my athlon xp 3200 at the moment would be ok for folding? If so then i might switch their roles around

Righty, i've got my XP3200 crunching now... but i still think it takes ages :p

Its doing about 1% every half hour :/ This seem about right?
 
Ok, my AthlonXP is doing avg of 97ppd, and the P3 is doing..36ppd.

One other thing, the P3 machine says "Time checkpoint triggered" and its been like that for about 10mins now :/

Sorry, i dont really know what to expect.. only started running this yesterday.. so expect a few more questions later :p :(
 
well guys.. i'm folding my first WU on both rigs now, this machine will finish its first WU tomorrow \o/ and the P3 in 3 days time lol.. not bothered because its well within the deadline as its running 24/7 :)
