According to the Extreme Foldy Stats we've done a good bit of trampling today. :D

The boot was well and truly placed on teams
newz.dk and Gentoo Linux Users Everywhere

We're now comfortably a top 40 team holding cell 38, and I suspect, despite the forthcoming Christmas output drop, will claim at least one more scalp this year. :cool:
 
Hands-up all the peeps with dual core boxes!
Dont just sit there, install linux and windows as a dual boot and enjoy the SMP Client.
No need to be trashing your graphics card.
A Work Unit completes in under 14hrs on an X2 @ 2.6GHz for a minimum of 587 points.
If you want to play FEAR or whatever, just stop the client in linux, boot up into Windows and play your game, simple.
Come on peeps you know you want to see that magical 1,000 points per day. :)
Come on peeps you know you really want to.

(The above is said in jest, but if you would like to do this and need a hand, feel free to get in touch)
 
I've missed this SMP thing completely! Surely if I run 2 WU's on my Athlon X2 it works out the same.? Or is this SMP client in someway better?

It's much much better as the WUs have some hefty bonus points - though you do need to be running Linux-64 or have one of those Mac-tel thingies for it to run. :o
 
Good going with the stompage, team :D

Can I run this on a dual 1Ghz PIII box running Debian Etch? It hasn't got anything else to do...

null :)

Not at the moment as only 64-bit Linux OSs are supported. In the future, though, probably.

And kiss goodbye to my GPU :eek:

Just as a quick example:

Opteron 165 @ 2.6GHZ running one normal F@H client working on the 1167-1166 WUs and one GPU client working on the 27-- WUs will net 950ppd approx.
Opteron 165 @ 2.6GHz running one SMP client will net 1,000 to 1,200ppd depending on the WUs.
I know for certain my PC will run at 100% for years.
I do not know if my graphics card will run at 100% for one year.
I have had graphics cards die, even ones that are not overclocked.
I have never had a processor, memory module, or motherboard die using normal overclocking, ie: CPU-2.7GHz, Mem-250-280MHz, FSB-250-300.
Though I did kill 2 motherboards with extreme overclocking using a Vapochill when I fist got it, (suprisingly the procs and memory survived).

Running the SMP client on Ubuntu 64bit is quite easy to set up and installing Ubuntu and Windows to dual boot is a dodle as long as you install Windows first. Whilst I do understand that this isnt everyones cup-of-tea it is worth a try especially when the nasty, horrible work units come back.

At a guess the way Stanford is going with multi-core and GPU clients I would think that the normal client hasnt got many years left before it is pulled.

I am only trying to help you guys with my own experiences from five years of overclocking and nearly three years of folding.
Tom. :)
 
Have a E6300 at stock atm because of the usless case and stock cooler (to be rectified after Christmas), An X2 3800 at 2.5ghz, and will get my E6600 a motherboard, memory and well just about everything else needed to build a PC :p and get that overclocked as high as possible.

Unfortunatly I don't know wether I can put linux on the E6300 or the X2 as there not mine ones my girlfriends and her dads and the other is her brothers.

Though theres no reason my E6600 can't have dual boot.

Really we need a brief guide in the sticky perhaps for the new SMP client with Linux and when they release it for Windows that too. :)
 
*downloads 64bit Linux*

:D

Although I am not actually sure if I have anywhere to put it :eek:

EDIT: argh which .iso to download! Trust ANY bloody linux distro, no matter how nice the website is, to always degenerate to a list as long as your arm of about a million different files :(

Do I get Ubuntu-6.10-alternate-AMD64.iso or Ubuntu-6.10-desktop-AMD64.iso??
