I sure would like to speed up that system...500 Mhz CPU

I'm not sure there is much you can do. CPU speed is what folding is all about and the so called optimizing tricks will produce next to nothing, IMHO. Yes, you can overclock if you enjoy that type of hobby, but at the end of the day it will be difficult to tweak this old of a system and get better results.

Suggest you leave it alone and just enjoy what points you get out of it.

"Suggest you leave it alone and just enjoy what points you get out of it."

LOL - yeah, that's what I've been doing.  It just sits there with the monitor turned off, quietly folding away, CPU at 100% all the time. 

I won't mess with it without some good info (on OC tweaking, that is).  I don't really have the time to do it, anyway.  (Too much laundry to do, heheh.)

This folding stuff really is addictive, though.  I keep wanting to add more CPUs and climb the stats, then I take a look at yours and Klutz's stats and I know I could never get close, LOL.  But, I'll keep on folding - the scientific potential is just too great to not do it.

So, how are you doing?  Any system lockups or bad boys?  I hope they're all behaving.  I noticed that Klutz has a couple that may be offline.  Are you going to run Egon's script so we can all see your system's progress, as well?  His server status page is showing 13 users (Freepers) & 115 CPUs, (50 of those are Klutz's, lol).

Happy folding.
