Folding Forum

Thanks, that's just the sort of useful information I was hoping to get.

Napoleon, I am just going to GPU fold on this system. I was planning to let the cpu/ram focus exclusively on running the GPU folder as fast as possible.

@OP - if you are just starting out afresh - don't bother cpu folding, get the cheapest machine that will run a Maxwell gpu, install a card to suit your budget and let it run. Its different if you have existing folding kit I'm not folding now, but was just thinking of doing this. Complete Core 2 Duo...

Example system: i5 3570K @ 4 Ghz - ~9-10K PPD. 7950 @ 950 Mhz ~ 109-110K PPD The used 7950 actually costs LESS than a used i5 chip, but gets 10X as many points. Now points don't matter to me in theory. My real question is, do the points being given in the example above reflect the value of the scien...

Thanks yall..That is just what I was hoping to hear.

I just bought this card for a folding rig: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127737&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10440897&PID=3332167&SID=u00000687 ...and have an old PC around I was planning to use it with. It is...

I am thinking about buuilding a cheap new sub $500 system for folding. I'm just wondering, as far as the science goes, would it be better to use a cheap processor and put most of the money in a good quality ($300+) video card, or would it be more useful to use a cheap video card and put the $$ into ...

since hardware info is out now i wonder if Pande approached sony or microsoft about using FAH on the consoles I really hope they do. The PS4 with it's 8GB DDR5 will be ridiculously good at folding. I will buy a few extra systems just for the purpose if they have a folding client. If anyone knows ho...

I do a fresh installation, then simply re-enter the username and passkey. You can have the same account on multiple machines as long as the passkey matches.

wow, so that's all you need to do...run an ethernet cable from the router to the switch and it automatically gives you extra outlets? That's pretty awesome. Thanks yall.

What can I do if I want to build more than five single folding machines, but my internet access is dependent on a basic router with 5 "out" slots connected to a cable modem? Is there any non-fancy way to get more slots? I've built five separate folding PC's using some cheap cases and hard ...

After doing more reading, I found something similar to my idea was already done..a Folding@home app was built in to the Google toolbar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Too ... le_Compute It basically asked users "do you want to contribute", they would click yes, and then start folding ...

For the life of me I can't get Notfred's diskless folding program working. I used the ISO maker, built a bootable image on USB disk, and keep getting the "No boot media" message when restarting the computer.

Thanks for the help yall. I'm gonna give Notfred another try. What I was really wondering about but didn't explain well in the OP is whether it would be possible to integrate F@H into Chromium as a "widget", or simple extension, similar to the Firefox extensions that are so easy to downloa...

I was actually hoping for something a little more user friendly than the current linux "live" builds. Notfred's folding program requires entering a command prompt and doing a few different things that are not clearly explained step by step. Despite downloading the correct files, I could no...
