I just looked it up.
[00:20:09] Extra AltiVec boost OK.
Is the same as SSE on X86 cpus. So it's active. No worries, you just got a big steak to chew on :)
"I'm almost certain G4's do the SSE boost if all is set up correctly."
"Extra AltiVec boost OK. Is the same as SSE on X86 cpus ..."
When you say G4s, are you talking about GeForce4 video cards? Does the video card matter in protein folding? I thought that the CPU idle time was all that was used. What actual resources are used in folding?
Just trying to understand the process better (and see if FAH may have been the reason for my Nvidia GeForce4, 32MB, video card burnout. I replaced it with an older 8MB Nvidia Riva 128 & folding has slowed down considerably (running Windows screensaver version with screensaver turned off & only tray icon).
So, any suggestions or comments?
Thanks,
