Folding @ Home

[Chris_PC]

Just started folding, Its a good excuse to convince my parents to let me buy watercooling and its for a good cause! One thing I have to say though is if you made it more obvious(eg puttin a sticky in places where more people look, the overclocking forum etc) that Tech-Forums had a folding team then I think more people would join. One day I just decided I was going to start folding and the first team I thought about joining was ABIT. At first, It didnt cross my mind that TF may have a team. But I Used the good old search button

Whoever asked about the Linux executable earlier, yes, it is an EXE file (only God knows why they did that), but if you change the permissions of the file as it says to on the README and then ./ or sh it, it WILL work.

Ah, you are right. Thanks for that, I will try to start folding soon

I'm climbing up the ladder now:

I seem to have found a good setup and location for my wireless antenna. I also put one of these reflectors on the antennas to my router, and my wireless network card.

anyway, with my Sempron hitting an absolute maximum of 29ºC (at 100% load), I can run it almost 24/7 now.

Keep those WU's rolling... but don't get too close to me.

I can't keep mine running 24/7 but it runs a good chunk of the day; my parents get mad if I leave it on ALL the time.

Also, I have it on my dad's machine, and he's been using it a lot lately, so I'm getting a lot of my WUs from there lately.

It's only named as an EXE file. Basically, an extension, which...don't make a difference on a *nix system.

so far I'm going at a rate of about 2 WU's every 3-4 days on my system
