Maximum PC

Welcome to team 11108 makoto

I added the team number to the second line of the first post.
I'll add the link in a minute, with a comment about those that might want to get right to work

When I made up the post it was more a background for those interested in how we got to where we are.

GM said the post was too long and My wife Rose says, ask you what time it is and you tell people how to build a watch

I believe I did a post on watch building very recently

If you worked your way through all the things that go on around here, I hope you have time and want to give those that look like fun a shot.

Post any questions on the main forum and answers will follow rapidly.

I'll write some simple standard / gpu guides over the weekend.

Thanks! Now if only the GPU client would support the ATI 5970. I'm currently running the SMP client on a Intel Core i7 980X.

I had a problem with it initially, it would download the work unit, but was unable to extract it. It didn't take me long to realize that it needs rights to extract to the Program Files directory, so I just ran it as Administrator.

If you have UAC enabled, make sure to run the client as Admin.

Also, it doesn't seem to take advantage of all 12 threads, only using 6 threads and only peaking at 8% processor usage.

Hopefully they'll have a better client soon.

Also worth noting is World Community Grid. Their client software definitely seems more robust and well polished, and have a variety of great causes such as fighthing aids, childhood cancer, muscular dystrophy and more.

have you tried running your shortcut with the parameter -smp 12? I believe its meant to work with up to 16 cores, so 12 should be fine. Also, make sure you have hyper threading on, since with 6 threads running it may not be using that.

Nvidia rules around this section of the forums.

i7's do also. Run a linux vm for 20k+ ppd.

Good read for a newbie to Folding. Thanks

Hello All!

I am very new to folding. I have downloaded the program and joined the Maxim PC team. My folding name is TheFATman82 which is a little different than my forum name but close.

I'm just going to look around for a while and see if I can catch on, and if not I'll ask some questions. Thanks!

WELCOME to Team MPC, TheFATman!

THANKS for Folding with us!

If you find you have questions, don't hesitate to start a thread and ask away. We have plenty of members that will be more than happy to assist you.

There is a lot to learn

More now than a few years ago, as new clients take advantage of new hardware

But that's a lot of the fun in the first weeks and months as you conquer all the possibilities.

Teams compete for ranking but they don't mind people using their helpful threads and advice.

As Dex said above, ask questions any time.

Best to ask them on the main forum where the most people will see them and you stand the best chance of the best answers quickly.

Folding should always be fun because that's what you're paid in for your great support.

The folder that has the most fun wins

We only get serious when you have a problem with folding or your, your families or your friends health.

Hi

WELCOME to Team MPC, Markitzero!

Consider moving that last post with your specs to it's own thread on the main forum. You'll get a much larger response from all our members, as not too many of our regular members get around to visiting this thread.

There are many that are here to help!

Again, THANKS for Folding with us!

I use to enjoy watching the TechTV show with Leo and the rest of them.

My son Eric enjoys the podcasts you referenced above.

He learned a few things by listening to them that helped him in a job interview.

ok can someone help me out here? i've downloaded the GUI version of the folding@home and i've configured it to team 11108, but i'm not sure how to work it... do i just double click on the icon for folding@home and let it sit there? and thats it?

As long as you're conected to the internet, yes. The client will start and connect to one of the Stanford servers to download a work unit (WU). In Win 7, the client will drop to your system tray. If you hover your pointer over it, it will show the amount of work done. When it has finished the WU it will re-connect with the Stanford servers to send the results back and pick up your next WU.

Read the guide from Stanford here http://folding.stanford.edu/English/WinUNIGuide

If you still have questions, start a new thread in this forum. Let us know what hardware and OS you're using so the other members can suggest the best setup for your equipment.

Welcome to the MaxPC Folding team, yosimba2000! Glad to have you on the team!
