    So it folds and then sends completed data to a mainframe of some sorts?

    P4 2.8ghz
    512mb DDR ram
    225.6gb HD (like that matters?)
    Geforce4 Ti4600

    Not too shabby.

    ok i can swich the fsb, but there are othere options that it has and they are not showen in my manual... i put it up to 175 and my internet did not owrk(im not using the onboard im using a pci card i have.) should i oc nething else like chip set agp, pic i dont really knwo alot of this stuff. (now im at 170 cpu at 1.9) or is there nething else i need to change in the bios?

    what happends if i oc the fsb but then i put my memory at less (ie i could up my buss to 200 mhz and keep my memory at 166, would that be good?)than the buss is there any point to that or is it point less

    is ocing with the wire better than ocing in the computer its self(bios) ? thanks

    Try this program here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=435

    o/c won't up the temp much untell you start bring up the voltage. at 200Mhz with mult at 11 your CPU should be doing 2200Mhz, now what your really need to do is open up your computer, take the heat sink off the cpu and record the ID number on your CPU, (then put everything back of course!) look that number up on the net and find out if your CPU can be unlocked or not (the latest Bartons cannot) and some barton core versions can't be o/c well.

    WCF

    What does this do anyway? Does it do caluclations and report results back to mothership?

    I am currently done with 36% of I don't know what. I don't mind at all because it stays unintrusive with my PC power but just curious because all I see is a Molecule or a chain changing pictures and or angles.

    sargentlard,

    It does protein folding simulations, we need to know how proteins fold and what confirmations they take up. Knowing this can allow us to understand how the protein works, how to manipulated and how to treat it (if it’s a disease)

    Yes it report back the Stanford, you know private college, west coast ivy league, rich as hell, gold plated church, can't pay for a supercomputer for their biochemists, ect.

    dagr8n8,

    FSB ocing (oc both the ram and CPU) can provide much better performance jump over simply just CPU oc, it can account for 1/3-1/2 performance increase over just CPU oc. Ok thats my be something you can't do now that we know you don't really have the ram for it, what you need to do now is what I said about very important if you want to unlock the mult and oc your cpu.

    I will be leaving sciforums for a unknown amount of time, but I will keep folding for sciforums. Be a good team, I put koolmodee in charge but if koolmodee is not around I place sargentlard in charger as deputy.

    For any newbies please go to these two for questions.

    --- I'm back for now ---

    After my raid controller died... and the replacement was a bitch to work with I got a new mother board with build on raid. After much fucking with it I have my CPU and memory running really good check it out:
    http://www.sciforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2824&stc=1
    At first I thought I broke my cpu! It had a tiny chip of its top edge from the fan accidentally slamming down on it. At first I could not get it to work and figure it for dead, then I remember of hand that I had cut the L11 vcore control lines on the cpu so I could set the voltage manually (my old motherboard did not have vcore control), so I have to always manually jumper the cpu voltage or else a motherboard will have no clue what voltage to give it. I jumper it cross my fingers and with great joy got my baby working right back strait from the dead.

    I got a DFI kt-600 motherboard off newegg for $57. As you can see it overclocks even better then my old Sis motherboard made by slave labor in china. I can run the CPU-FSB totally seprate from my RAM-FSB, here I have the CPU-FSB at 209Mhz and the RAM-FSB at 200Mhz (DDR x2). I don't need to pin out the muliplier any more (though this motherboard does not have a CPU muliplier changer) as I can just raise the CPU-FSB up by 1mhz intervals (11mhz on the cpu multp. clock) get it right up to its stable limit (haven't yet)
    The memory settings are great total memory setting control got my ram running at 200Mhz 2t-3t-6t-3t-1t and a whole butch of other latency settings I am still working out.

    Had to turn off the over clocking and reinstall windows, when I was running my CPU-FSB at 200Mhz+ alot of the data got corrupted. Will not be folding for a few days while I get thing back up and running good.

    Sadly I have found that that my CPU is not stable at 200mhz, though my last motherboard let me run it at 190Mhz fine, this new one can't do above 170mhz as the PCI clock is set with the CPU-FSB instead of the RAM-FSB

    Well at least the raid works well. I have my cpu running at 2295Mhz, 170Mhz FSB and and 200Mhz RAM. Its not as powerful as it was before but atleast is stable, and I can run video games again, video games are worth more to me then Folding@home

    I just joined
    can't contribute much though
    P4 1.8ghz; 512 DDR 266mhz; running a konsole version on Linux Mandrake 10

    prior to this I was doing crunching for seti@home (sciforums team), but I found it a logical error and didn't continue
    this is a better way to donate my processing power

    update: it seems that 1% takes ~6minutes for me, not too bad
