As always, depends on testing.

I expect that it will be Q1 before betas are released.

I have about 8 PCs, but I only have two computers running F@H right now. One has four 9800GX2 video cards, and one has two 8800GS cards. I don’t do any CPU folding. I used to also fold on my PS3, but the power usage wasn’t worth it.

I’m happy that the cold weather is finally here—I don’t need to turn on the heat in the winter because the PCs heat my condo.

Hi All,

I’m happily plugging away with the last computer I have left to run the program, my old PC that is doing nothing else. It has an old version of the systray client, and I was wondering if anyone knew:

If I download the new one, is the old one automatically replaced, or do I need to uninstall the old one? Also, if I do get the new client, do I loose the work unit it’s currently working on?

Thanks,

It looks like you will have a work unit finishing in the next week. Look here to see when it is credited:

I would leave the system on 24/7 until you see the work unit finish, probably just another day or so.

If you are running the system tray client, after this WU completes, stop the client, and erase it all. IIRC, there is a setting under Configure” that allows the WU to stop after completion. If you can't find it, just erase it all.

Load the most recent from here:

The current system tray client is 6.23. It is faster than the 5.2x version and allow you to crunch more varieties of molecules. The viewer is also great.

How long have you been folding? Four or five years now? That's great.

Please ping us if we can help!

I remember when people were hitting 3k ppd. It was like they were from the mother-ship. Like TB said, graphic cards are the only way to rack up some serious points. Even something as mundane as a 9600GSO, when overclocked, can easily produce 4k ppd. For the bigger cards, you’ll need to upgrade the computer’s power supply, but that’s a real easy change.

A while back, SazanEyes sent a link to me describing his rig. I’ll see if I can find it. It’s a freakin’ beast!!!!

Here’s the link to the machine that generates most of my points:

I don’t have any pictures of my other box online yet, but I do have various computer pictures here:

Those machines are running GPUGRID and various other distributed computing projects.

Thanks I’ll check it tonight.

Yes I’ve been folding since this project began on FR. When was that, 5 years ago already? If I had been asked before, I wouldn’t have said more than 4. It doesn’t seem that long.
