Folding Forum

Sorry about the lack of information. I'll be honest, most of this is greek to me so I'm just glad that someone takes the time to explain things. I'm just trying to help as much as I can with the project.

Does this help any at all...?

Hey guys, I was actually rummaging through my old pile and I found another old machine that does have a PCIe slot. It was mentioned earlier that a GTX 760 or a Radeon 7870 would be good choices to use to extend the life of old hardware. But it only has a 300W PSU in it so I was hesitant to run out a...

Only one of them has hyperthreading. All of my older computers include:

2.4 GHZ P4
2.8 GHZ P4 (HT)
3.0 GHZ Celeron D
2.2 GHZ Athlon 3500+

I can't help it--it's the nostalgia, you know?

That's amazing. I never would have thought a regular PCI card could get those numbers. Can you use more than one at a time? They have some on ebay for $45 so maybe I'll try one out.

Thanks for all of your replies! I just took a look and none of them have any PCIe slots. I remember seeing a GT430 once that was a regular PCI card. Do you think those would fold any better than just the CPUs themselves?

Naturally I don't expect any concrete answers to this question, but I was kind of wondering what some of your opinions might be on the subject. I have a couple of old Pentium 4 machines that I fold on occasionally. What I've noticed is that (I'm guessing because of the new benchmark machine) these o...

Hey guys, Thanks for all of the replies. I think I've finally got it working with ubuntu. I've never used linux before so it took some time getting used to it. When I'm folding with bigadv, the machine runs at 100% on all 64 cores. Curiously, when bigadv isn't enabled, the regular work units still o...

Hello, I've been doing a little folding for a few days a month for the past year or so, but I'm new to this forum. I recently came across a H8QGI+-F motherboard and 4 Opteron 6278 CPUs. 128 GB of RAM. I bought them only because it was a steal, and thought I could do more folding with it. My problem ...
