View Full Version : More folders needed
Just stopped by the Ars group to see what was going on, new info, whatever. Didn't find what I was looking for. Instead I found this-

The AFS is setting its sights on FAH2. We really need some more power if we are even going to consider staying ahead of these guys.

No doubt.... a sleeping giant is awakening. We gotta push to stay with the leaders!!!
I apologize for my production dropping off, the 4 Celly900's that fold for me were defragging this weekend. They'll be back up about an hour from this post. I'm also going to figure out how to telnet over to the mail server here and fold on it :)
Anyway... GO TEAM GO!!
SickBoy
P.S., I have heard from more than one [H] friend here at school that at some point they're going to be getting their act together as well. So watch out for that too.
Time to Fold harder. We don't have that big of a lead we need pick it up we have been growing and we need to continue to expand!!! Folding for science!!!
I have a new mobo and 750@whatever-it-will-do arriving today. It'll be added to the mix tonight.

I just finished putting a new Duron 750@1000 up this morning. It'll be folding 24/7 as well.
Good job, Dunga Bee. My wife just called to say that I had a package from Crucial, too. I decided to see if I can increase the FSB on my main rig and squeeze a few more mHz out of it. The new box will get the generic ram. They're still doing free 2nd day shipping if anyone's in the market. $29 and change (I forget the exact amount) for 256mb of PC 133 SDRAM.
WTG everyone. We have some pretty serious folding power showing up just in this thread.
I'm doing my part too :)
Got my AMD stickers today and promptly put one on the PIII laptop. Hoping to fool it into thinking it's an AMD and doubling it's output ;) Put the rest of the stickers on my other machines. Should be good for at least 500 MHz. Still pimping it to everyone I can think of. Got someone who will put a couple of boxes on it. ;) and I'll be adding more when the time to buy a dual board comes around. Just waiting for some competition in that area.
Been watching [H] too. A lot of them are doing the UD thing but I haven't seen the exitement that I saw with the Genome project. I can't help thinking that they are going to want to meet Ars head on in this eventually.
If it matters, I think we are doing more than with 1.34. We were maxing out at about 3500/day and usually a lot less. That was at 5 points/protein and the proteins were going faster than they are now. It's really hard to tell though. But we are at almost 1000/day now with the new scoring.

Too funny! Maybe I'll put a Tbird sticker on my new Duron too. you never know!
:D
My plans for a new mobo and duron have gone ( :( ), I'm using the money towards a road bike, so I can hopefully do the aids ride next year. :)
OK, I'm up and folding on the new box. The Biostar motherboard/Duron 750 combination that I got on the cheap doesn't allow much in the way of overclocking ability, but it's running at 825 right now. There's no way to change the multiplier either on the board or in BIOS, but it does have the ability to raise the FSB by increments to 112.
Maybe this weekend I'll take it apart and see if I can raise the multiplier on the chip. If not, maybe I can lower the multiplier and run the FSB at 133. Anyway, one more box joins the fold. :D
Cool. This is awesome :D
BTW. If you do try to mod the chip be vehwy, vehwy cahful.
If you can get it without killing the chip it should be good though :D

Ploaf Like The New Avatar Very Nice!! ;)
T.J:
Don't break that chip!!
Actually, I'm going to try upping the vCore and seeing if I can get to 7.5*133 before I do anything radical.:D

It's great all of you have extra systems going up...I'm down one system til this weekend ( duron 750@840) after getting my DSL going on my main system for some reason the other can't send and recieve it's work. Tried to setup a proxy but it still coudn't send recieve it's results. No ideas left other than awaiting Thursday and buying a DSL router that I've eneded for weeks now. hopefully I can figure something out sooner, but if not sorry my production is down. :(

Look at www.freesco.org might save you a few bucks if it will work for you works great for me on cable. And I run it on an old junk 486/33. Its a great way to put them back to work :)
I hope I did that url correctly

AHHHH. What happened? We were doing so good for a while and then all of a sudden we dropped down and oc.au jumped up! What's going on we can't seem to get past 150 sometimes 100 each update!
The servers were down at Stanford sometime this morning for an hour or two. Looks like it was the entire U. Caused some lost work. It should be back to 'normal' now. ;)

I hope so otherwise Ars Technica will pass us really soon and oc.au will be leaps ahead.
Ars is the team to watch out for. They are probably going to be ramping up in a big way very quickly. OC.au is only about 1000 points ahead of us right now. We can catch them. We are just getting started and I think that once the rest of the bugs are ironed out of this client we will see more coming from the rest of the team.

I think I lost some WU's this morning to a power outage while I was asleep. They were both villins too :( I cheated a bit to keep my other system working by cut & pasting it's folding Directory to my system to upload and download new work...then transfered it back to the other system to work on. Now that I ahve the DSL router I'm hoping to make my folding life much easier. Need a bit of help setting it up though...well actually just a bit of info.
Right now I only ahve 1 crossover cat5 and 2 striaght cat5's.
Right now I'm networked using the crossover with a NIC card attaching my DSL modem.
I need to convert to the DSL router.
I assume I'm short one piece of striaght cat5 cable...am I right?
DSL modem : striaght cat5: dsl Router WAN
system#1: straight cat5 :dsl router LAN port 2
system#2:striaght cat5:dsl router LAN port 3
Bought the Linksys BEFSR41 V.2
DSL modem : striaght cat5: dsl Router WAN
system#1: straight cat5 :dsl router LAN port 2
system#2:striaght cat5:dsl router LAN port 3
yep that looks right.

hey all, tonight I added a friends 1.4 P4. It won't be run overnight, but it will be run during the day.
Hopefully I can find a few more computers to install it on in the next week or so.
fold on!

I'm not 100% certain, but I am thinking that you may be able to use that crossover cable with the router, but only on the network and not directly to the modem. Some routers will automatically sense that and correct it. Might be worth a look anyway, but then if it's only 7' or less a new straight cable isn't that much anyway.

This is correct. Not sure about what Ploaf said, never tried that.
That Linksys box is a sweet unit. Have one myself. :D

Thelemac(sorry if I miss spelled it) helped me set it up...You can use a crossover cable to connect one of your systems to the router...thru the uplink port....it's already twisted or something and by using a crossovercable in the uplink port it makes it like a straight...least that what he said and since I'm working at 95% right now I suppose he was right. I'ts just that *&^* 5% that's annoying the h*ll outta me. I got internet on this system (the one using the crossover/uplink port) but my other system still can't get to the internet. Right now I'm suspecting it's IE's 4.0 fault since it crashes everytime I fool with it. I can't find IE 5.5 on any disk i have here and the place I got my IE 5.5 won't let me download it so that it could be transfered to system #2 and installed. Anyone know where I can get a IE 5.5 file that I could do that with? BTW gaming isn't a problem as my Dad and I ahve played Delta force 2 on it so game networking is doing fine as well. Also it seemingly cured my systems EXTREMELY LONG BOOT TIME! :) I swear it seemed like it took close to 3minutes now it's well under a minute. Both systems seem to boot faster really.
So only thing I can think of is it's WINDOWS/IE's fault it's not sharing. Might try reinstalling windows....much rather not do a format, but seriously hope it doesn't come to that.
IE used to provide a small installer program that you could save on your HD that would dl the version that the installer was for. I think they did away with that. I don't know where to get ie5.5 other than through the MS site. The only other thing that I can think of would be to dl Netscrape and use that to get IE. Not sure if it would work or not.

Tithulta,
A couple things:
1) From the computer that can't surf, ping www.espn.com or another site. If you get replies, it can see the internet.
2) From your computer that can surf the net. Go to MS and download the IE6 installer. Then run it on that computer. When it launches, you should be able to select a 'Custom' install where you can pick and choose the stuff you want to install. On that screen there should be a button that says 'Advanced' or 'Other Options' or something like that. It should be in the lower right corner of the screen. Click that and it should give you an option to download the stuff for a 'Network Install' or something like that. Do that and you'll get all the stuff locally on your PC. Then just transfer it over to the other PC via your network and install it on that PC.
Now, if you get no love when trying #1, then you need to make sure the Linksys box is doing DHCP (unless something else on your network is). Then check the TCP/IP properties of the box that can see the internet and make sure that 'Enable DHCP' is on and then reboot.
You can also check your network setting in Win98 but typing WINIPCFG from a command line or in Win2K by typing IPCONFIG /ALL from a command line.
Let us know how you make out.
