Amazing what one can find trolling through the dumpsters, eh?

:O)

DUmmies have 75 'puters now

Well, I just added 2 more.

Also had a bit of a scramble this morning as microsoft patched that WMF exploit overnight and about 6 of mine rebooted to login screen after patching. GRR.

Could that have happened to my computer? It was running fine when I went to bed. I woke up at 6:00am, and it was off.

If you're running it as a service, you don't have to login to have the F@H client start back up...

Possible, however it's a somewhat complicated group policy change for it to automatically shutdown after installing updates rather than just rebooting. More likely your power blipped.

I read your post to Malsua.

I just have a crappy computer then, that just shuts down whenever the mood hits it.

we're up to 363 CPUs now

Multi boot machines that have no timeout on the "select operating system". I meant startup, not login. I have machines with localized version of XP(English, Japanese) as well as a few 2000/xp dual boot ones. The normals ones came back and churned just fine. I also have GUI machines, but those are my own personal machines and two in my office. 10 consoles, 4 guis.

Hooray!!!

Is the power in your house flaky for some reason?

No. It's our electric company. If there's a cloud 30 miles away our lights go out. The elec. co put in a new streetlight fuse a few weeks ago. Our lights were going on and off constantly. My husband installed a new and larger breaker box(if that's what it's called)so we would have more amps, I think that's what it's called. He did all that and then we remembered that our streetlight was always going on and off. The company man said the weaker the fuse got in the pole,(it was half burned out) it starting affecting our house.

We have the worse electric company on the planet.

We didn't lose our lights last night, just this computer shut off.

Hmmm. I'm inclined to believe you that it's the power company, but it might be worth taking a walk around your house - see if there's any large trees that might be hitting the lines when the winds blows, or some such...

Excallent - got the smurf in me sights :)

"Excallent"? Hmmmm....

I was just looking at those when I was outside. Some will need purning by our back porch in the spring. The elec. co. came out in the summer and trimmed a lot of the trees.

We've had squirrels blow the small transformer on the pole twice since we've lived here. Ahhh, the joys of country living. I talked to hubby about a battery back-up and he said he'd get me one with his next roofing job. That is what I want to do. Our company is too unrealiable.

"You have either a dual core, or Hyperthreading cpu. You could uninstall the gui client, and install two instances of the console version. Each would take up a different side, and you would reach 100% utilization"

I went ahead and did as you said , so running two folds on my Hyperthreaded P4. I accidentally stopped a long one (Tinker?) that was running in the GUI but I moved all the work files over to one of the console folders and it seems to have picked up where I left off in the GUI....wew..there was about 18 hours of work there. Frames were taking 5-6 min on that one, but are now taking 8-9 min. A little slower, but taking that other Fold I now have running in the other console into consideration, I'm still doing more work overall!

let me know if your new approach ends up with more points

my guess would be that you still produce the same amount of points/day, but work on 2 WUs instead of just 1
