Good news and bad news! Bad news is that I can't use the school servers that are currently being used as there would be too many complications. Good news, Apparently there are two old servers sitting on a shelf. Apparently, I can use these or at least one of them hopefully! I am going to be sent the...

Ok, I spoke to the guy who runs the servers and he is not against it but he says it won't be easy. The primary problem stopping us from using all the servers is that most of them use vmware and citrix to hold the OS. Therefore, I would need a client that works on this, any ideas? There was the odd s...

Ok, I will look into that. The chances are the school electricity bill is likely to increase a little but it will probably be such an insignificant amount that it shouldn't matter. I would be wondering whether the IT department would be more concerned about the over heating or the CPUs constantly be...

Thanks for the support chaps. The headmaster is all for it but I need to talk to the head of IT and I can't do that until Monday. I know the CPUs are intel xeon 5660 I thought they were 6 core but 12 threads. I am not sure though. Also, what do you mean by 4 processor dodeca? Do you mean you run 4 1...

Oh right, I have just paused it and put my pc in hibernate. We will see how it turns out! Will download v7 as soon as this wu is finished. Thanks for the help!

Thank you very much! Will complete my current wu, (Will be my second!) and then will upgrade.

Right, have completed my first wu! got 107 points from it Which isn't bad I don't think. Now, the v7 client, I realise that is in beta, do you know when it will come out of beta? Will there be an update then or not?

Also, where do I find the software download for the v7 smp client?

Thank you very much.

Firstly, I don't think I am on a v7 client, I think I am on the v6 because I can't seen any of the advanced or expert or timeout and expiration or anything. You saw my cpu type in an earlier post, it is 2.2GHz. I am using a single core at the moment. Also, if I select pause when done does that mean ...

Yes, have put my home made cooling stand on and have now got temps in the high 60s so should be fine! Another question would be, if I wanted to turn my pc off, would i just click pause work then turn it off? Also, how long have I got until it expires or whatever it is? Also pause when done, I am gue...

Thank you so much, very helpful! Is there any reputation system on this forum so that I can thank you for the help? It is good to hear that f@H works like that. I am spreading it fast, just sent a text asking my friend to do it...he has a spare desktop and his sister suffers from a DNA problem so I ...

I am currently using my laptop, I just joined my forum's team. We aren't great but we will get there, we design some of the most powerful specs so we are growing as more and more people find this! I will make a team for my school, but do you know whether putting fah on the server will slow it down o...

Don't worry about not knowing about the windows server, could anyone else help? Please! If I can get this going, I can get 4 Intel xeon 5660s going using probably 5 out of their 6 cores for about 12 hours each day. Edit: Do you know how long it will take to roughly complete a wu on my laptop? roughl...

Thank you for replying, I actually just downloaded a client and got on with it! It has been going for a couple of mins and says 2/250. I think it is working, I think I just stuck it on one core. When checking the task manager, the fah doesn't leave 50% cpu usage so I'd assume it is using one core to...

Right, I logged into remote desktop and took the screen prints, I hope they are good enough, if you want any more info, just ask and I will try my best. Here are the images, I hope they are good enough quality! Edit, sorry, those images haven't worked, apparently I have to wait a day so will post th...
