as soon as I've got the system recognising the other core and everything else is stable.
GFX card is already geared up to go, has an aftermarket Zalman cooler on it which should help loads.
Then just gotta get the SMP going on the dual cores.
THEN get the old box up and running and churning back through the units
(gotta work out what the random beeps are for too!)
not so interesting if it's another component on the way out, but heyho.
No, got the core things being addressed in another thread on here.. got some things to try tonight, or it's another reinstall... not yay.
righty ho, giving this a second crack. seeing as tho it didn't work the first time
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO, it seems to be working this time
folding for heXus here i come
i would be folding, but as all the tiny miniscule work units seem to be taken up, the smallest i can get is 1500 frames.. my comp takes around 40 minutes per frame, so it's no wonder the estimated completion date is 28th june... so i think i'll give this a miss untill I upgrade..
you might say - why don't you just leave your computer turned on
my answer - it's falling apart, things are breaking in it, can't leave it turned on for more than 2 hours without it getting problems, and its noisier than an elephant singing in the bath..
so i will fold when i upgrade... unless it runs faster on a 486? i'll go check...
edit: forgot to add, this was with NOT ticking that 'allow units bigger than 5mb', using the basic single core client.

heh, go for the quad core when you do that upgrade mate!!!
HEXUS FOLDING TEAM It's EASY
finished my first WU and halfway through the second
every little helps
righty, righty, righty...
so does the SMP client provide more points?
and as such would it be better to run that than running 2 instances of the single core?
cos i saw webys points calculation thing and it says summin like 100 points for single core and 1000 for SMP....
should i be trying the SMP again? (seeing as though i've found the download for it now....)
*BUMP*
C'mon guys, we need more points
all ye registered users not folding
for anyone just checking this out, the link to the beta software that is smp can be found at http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther
Hey, just joined (well i did join a while ago, but the pc was tooooooooooooooo slow, but now i have quad core ) so downloaded SMP, and have it running, but it seems to be using very little of my CPU and i don;t know why.
Here is how i have it set up: (with CPU usage next to it, while folding)
Is it ment to be like that, or have i done something wrong??
