I referred a friend to the hardware forum for a new PSU the other day, and obviously had to come check on my old folding buddies over here. Just reading a few threads got me itching to go at it again, and within 10 minutes I had the SMP client and GPU client going on my new machine. Checked my...
Hey guys. Saw something about folding and logged back in to see how my borgs had been doing, and decided to start up again. Its been a while and I'm just curious what the state of the program is like nowadays. From what I've been reading it seems like most people that are serious about it...
Even more frustratingly, I just installed the SMP client on the computer next to it, same OS (vista home premium), dualcore isntead of quad, and it worked perfectly. :(
one thing I've seen in other posts about the smp is something about a process calls mspic or something of that sort, I don't have that running, is that something that usually only starts after the cores have been initialized or could that be my problem?
Still nothing. Here's my log
# SMP Client ##################################################################

still trying. I tried putting it not in the program files, and i ran fah.exe -config only from an elevated command prompt, we'll see what happens this time
I feel dumb cuz I used to be the one helping people, but here's the deal:
Tried to install SMP console client on a q6600. Followed all the instructions on the FAH site. When I check the log, it says it loaded que successfully, but it isn't downloading anything. fah.exe is allowed by the...
Wow. I just was comparing my badge to aldamons, it really shows how far the clients/WU's have come lately.
i have over 3x as many WU's as he does, and hes got more points than me. I need to upgrade and get some GPU/SMP clients going! :(
To help get me back into the swing of folding, I'm gonna need some form of competition. Anyone here on the forums around me want to throw down? I'm all about competition, and I'm all about finding a cure.
:)
Yea, I have a few dedicated linux boxen running, I was just curious about a quad core with the vmware running along with other things (mainly games). Ill probably run the windows smp client. I still have a few months to go before i get it anyway. Thanks
ooh, I remembered how to post my badge...
For the setting up of vmware and linux, im assuming thats recommended for use on a dedicated folding machine, not one you'd use for daily use, correct? I'm wondering because I'm getting a quad soon but its going to be used as my main computer.
I've been having problems with my computer lately. Randomly, it will just shut down. Not a windows shut down, it just goes down like someone pulled the plug. And it doesn't restart, it just shuts off. I've done memtest, I've pulled the MB out and checked for shorts, I've swapped video...
Wow, much larger response than I thought. Ok, I'll get started probably Sunday afternoon, since I'm a little busy tonight. First I have to figure out how to get teh info from EMIII, so there's still time for feature requests. I'll try to squeeze in as much as possible! I'm also going to edit...
How many people here have a Logitech G15 keyboard? I was thinking of trying to write a program that gathers data from FAHlog or from EMIII to display on the LCD. I was just wondering if anyone else would put it to use. I'll probably make it anyway, because I'm selfish and I like coding...
Just thought of this, since I'm not in the race, I'll do all I can to help out if its needed. Only thing I need to do to keep myself active in the community is to get involved. Let me know if I can do anythign!
beleive me, if I could, I would borg every single comptuer at school. We've got lots, all P4s. Viper would want to get in on some of that action though, hehe.
Viper, we should make some sort of genious plan to hack in and borg them all!
I've got to get my "every three hours" internal clock back up and going. I used to just click the FAH stats bookmakr on my browser right around update time, without knowing exactly what time it was.
Allright, I'm looking for some excuses to start a borgfest. I'd like to start a little competition, since I'm out of the 1k PPD battle. Anyone have any ideas? I'll keep track of stats and what not. It'll give me a reason to keep checking the forums and stay involved. Whos up for something?
Haha. So apparently they were looking for Points, not WU? I would think that the most WU would be the winner on the side of the cause, since that smore information for Stanford to digest, correct?
On the "competitive, my e-penis is bigger than yours" community side, points matter more, and...
So, I'm trying to re-borg a couple thigns, trying to get back on my feet, and I went to a computer that I've had FAH running on for a long time, and I get an error during setup.
I do fah504-console.exe -configonly, and after the first 4 prompts, I get a Windows error. It asks if I want to...
I actually am, but I started having problems with school, and had to start focusing on that kind of stuff.
Bakc when I had 30 CPUs under my name, my 3 firefox homepages were all different Folding stats.
And yes, This is now my new homepage, so I can get back into it.
Yeah I was looking back a couple pages and I see he removed a couple people for not having their boxes on. Mine was on, just not on the net, hehe. Oh well. If its earliy enough to get back in, I'm up and going. I that would screw thigns up too much, I'll happily watch :-D
