congrats people, though i just tried a game of civ4 without running it and civ4 goes so much faster!

Well yeah, you're supposed to disable it while you run Civ4.

It ought not to though, the program is supposed to downprioritize itself if another task needs the cpu..

thats what i thought, maybe it was just coincidence

I experienced no "downspeeding" in Civ4 while folding.

 

[Blazer6]

I suffer no slowdowns as well.

 

[Abaddon]

[BCLG100]

well congratulations all of you

i do so

Hey I just joined this thing. Two questions:
1- How are points calculated?
2- Does IglooDude have a 200 computer LAN?

Hey I just joined this thing. Two questions:

2- Does IglooDude have a 200 computer LAN?

1- I think they base points roughly on the complexity of the work unit downloaded to your computer.
2- I'm running it on somewhere between two dozen and three dozen machines, all of which are on 24/7.

...How are points calculated?

Here is the boring technical answer. Basically the longer it takes your computer to process the more points you get.

And welcome.

Welcome Rhymes!

I've switched of F@H today, because the blazing heat here is putting my cooling system to its limits. Turns out that without F@H the cpu runs at roughly the same temp!

 

[BCLG100]

F@H is running now but its been turned off for a bit the last few days.

Regarding Civ and folding. Folding will release the clock cycles, but it keeps the memory allocation, at least as far as I'm able to tell. That's why Civ may run slower on some systems.

On another front, I am replacing my current desktop (1.57 GHz Athlon w/266 MHz frontside bus, 512MB ram) with a laptop which has an Intel Dual Core at 1.83 GHz/667 front side bus (I think..maybe 566) and 1GB ram. Yeah, I know it's not the fastest processor in the world for laptops, but it's still faster than what I have. The dual core is what I am excited about as I should be able to play civ just fine while the second core is still crunching away.

Anyone know what happened to Speedo?

Hi Guys

I've folding for a week and have done two projects. Unfortunately, my first project was credited to "administrator" because I'm an idiot when it comes to configuring things. I got it right for the second project. How can I get the points combined?

 

[IglooDame]

I've got some good news, and I've got some bad news...


And welcome to TeamCFC!!

Unfortunately there's no way to combine the points once they are posted. We have fun with the points but the really important thing is that we are helping to find a cure to some of these nasty diseases.

And welcome to the team.
