wow, TF folding seems to have increased in popularity since i did it, all that time ago. I came accross this thread and thought i would take a look.

sorry to leave you guys... but I now do World Community Grid, as crunching for cancer means alot more to me.

I was wondering if it is ok to run a game while folding. Because I was playing doom 3 and I forgot that I had Folding@Home on. I didn't experience lag or anything.

Folding sets itself as lowest priority, so you're good.

BF2 doesn't play well with it, though.

yea, it should be fine, although i remember it depended what game were you playing, some just dont like it.

that stuff i run at the moment uses alot more ram though, some units can take up to 400MB, so i have to close it when gaming. what does F@H use up normally?

whatever your CPU has spare.
if your CPU isn't being used, folding@home will take up it all
if you're running a CPU intensive program, running at 90%, folding@home will only use the other 10%

 

[joshd]

no, ram wise.

 

[Apokalipse]

it depends on the work unit.
I'm not on my own PC right now, so I can't check how much it's using

ok, so I just got this an I'm trying to get the screen saver to work. I cant seem to find it under display properties and when I choose the screen saver option on the folding at home program, my windows screen saver still comes on. For example: I set my folding at home screen saver to come on after 5 mins, but my windows screen saver comes on a little while later. I need the windows screen saver because it automatically locks my comp.

Thanks
