Updating cores on your computer
Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 1:47 am
I don't know whether I'm imagining this or not, but the other day, my laptop had a "mini-crash" and when it rebooted and I looked at the f@h log file, it said that f@h had deleted the old AMBER core, and downloaded a new AMBER core (the code is below). Now my laptop seems to be folding a little faster than on the old AMBER core. So, i'm just wondering if it is an idea to delete cores on my hard drive and let f@h update them, or just wait until f@h thinks it's time to update the core of it's own accord.
Look forward to your replies, and here is the log file after my mini-crash when it loaded a new core
:
Cheers.
