... then plug in wifey's favorite movie...who knows what could happen next?
Cheap talk. All hat no cattle. My Seahawks challenge your Cowthings to a game.

I think that for all NFC teams, it all depends which yeam shows up to play. This season is pure Jeckel and Hyde for us.
Beat Indy, lose to Wahington.
I think that the Seamolds will be better now that Alexander is back, but ...
My puter has dual processors, that means 2 right? If it does, how come it only shows 1 active processor?
thanks
You may be running one instance of F@H and not taking advantage of the second processor. But ...
Exactly what processor does your Dell have?
Intel HT? Intel Dual Core? Or just tell me the model number and I'll get the specs.
Intel has released chips that have two cores in one chip. If it is an HT, then you really only have one core with two pipelnes into it.
If you have an Intel Duo Core 2 chip, you have two CPUs in one chip and you will be able to run two instances of F@H, and get almost twice as many points.
Is there somewhere on my machine where I can find out what it is?
Look for a model number on the front of the computer or on the side (not the WIndows number though).
Or, right-click on "My Computer", scroll down to Properties, and copy the information from there. The first screen should give info on the CPU, memory etc.
Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80 GHZ
2.79 GHZ 1.00 GB of RAM?
Is that helpful?
The Intel Pentium D had two versions that run at 2.80 GHz. Both are double core CPUs.
If you press CTRL-ALT-DELETE the task manager pops up. The second tab is "Processes". Look for the process called "F@HCore_xx.exe". (xx=78 or 82 in most cases).
If you have one F@H running on a single core you will see CPU Utilization = 100% (or close)
If you have one F@H running on a dual core you will see CPU Utilization = 50% ( or close)
Follow these instructions from another thread and you will have two instances of F@H running, maximizing your points potential.
Thank you. I printed out your post and will go step by step.
You said, 'follow these instructions from another thread and you will have two....'
1)What thread? 2)Should I uninstall my old F@H first?
At the bottom of the screen it says..
processes:49 CPU usage:100%
Hmmm ...
Those instructions were from a FR thread we posted a few weeks ago.
I do not remember a true dual core CPU that did NOT come in at 50%. Let me check out one of my systems.
Go to the directory where you have your F@H. Open a file called unitinfo.txt. It will look like this ...
Current Work Unit
On the Task Manager page it says.
fahcore_78.exe....the numbers jump around 48-50
At bottom of same page it says...processes:49 CPU Usage 100%
Does that mean anything different.
Also, when I typed in the address you gave me my chioces were.download them all OR save to disk. No save it to download directory or desktop.
I did something wrong. I lost my wu I was working on. It had 28000/5000 frames finished. It was a p2126_villian_sigd3.
Firt, having F@Hcore_78 jump between 48 and 50 means that you can add another instance of F@H to the second core.
If F@H is at 50% and CPU is at 100% I am curious what else you are running to take up the extra CPU cycles. What other numbers in Task Manager are above 0?
First create a directory called F@H1 and a directory called F@H2. I would put the new directories in the root directory or under Program Files. When you download, download twice, and save the file first into F@H1 and then into F@H2.
Do not save to the desktop. If you run it from there it will create headaches eventually.
Then enter into each directory, run the F@H5.04. Directions are as before. Accept the default if you are not sure of what to do, EXCEPT one must be machine=1 and the other must be machine=2.
We may need to take this to FReepmail to keep from boring everyone.
The only was to lose a WU is to delete the files. Therefore, do not empty your trash can.
Is the original directory still where is used to be? Is there anything in it? If so, a reboot will cure most ills.
If the directory is empty or if it has been moved, then we get to ask and answer a lot of questions to save the WU. It can be saved if you want.
Or just forget the old WU like an old boyfriend, install the two new instances and commence to folding anew. (I've been dealing with a teenage daughter)
I have my f@h folders 1&2. When I enter the F@H1 directory, it immediately tries to load me another wu before I can type in the information "SET ADVANCED METHOD'S" enter "y".
Do not save to the desktop. If you run it from there it will create headaches eventually.
I'll have to get rid of that then. oops.
Too late.
Consider him forgotten.
