I wasn't for sure which distributed computing project I would pick now that I have broadband, but after seeing that the results of folding are open source I decided that folding was for me.

Is roughly eleven hours for 5 work units decent for a Duron 943 (6.5 *145)? I plan to upgrade to a Athlon 1.4 in the next week or so and how big of a difference would that make in the times?

Is there anyway to make the console version run as a system tray icon?

Thanks,

Josh

Welcome to the Team Josh! Your times sound good for your Duron. The longer 5pt Work Units (WU's) take a little longer. Some also take less time to fold but give you less points.

To run the client in the system tray you need to download a program called Electron Microscope. You can find the link to EM here (http://www.overclockers.ws/folding/links.html) along with a lot of other cool info.

Welcome again! Fold On!

I went from a Duron 700@1007MHz to a T-Bird 1200@1470MHz, and I was amazed how big a differ there was. Under 2 min.s per frame on a 5point WU. That's how we like it! :)

Welcome to your team, enjoy! :)

Hey Josh
Welcome to the team. You'll definitely notice the diff. in times between the Duron and the Tbird.

Sweet! You're gettin' one??? Be sure to let us know how you make out. Your gonna have an on-die temperature sensor also...how cool!!!!
