2 boxes on same wu?

I thought I saw this mentioned in another thread somewhere. Is it possible to have mulitple boxes working on the same wu to finish it in a quicker time frame. I have a 200mmx working on a villin and foldmonitor is estimating completion time at 10 days which I know is outside the time spec. So is there a way to have a second pc crunching on the same wu in order to get inside the time frame? TIA and Fold On

The only thing I've heard of is people doing work on the slower box for a few days and then moving the work over to a directory in a faster box and finishing it up there. You would also need the same client.cfg for the whole protein to get credit. From what I understand the time limits have been suspended for now so you could probably finish out the work on the slower machine. There should be a setup(That's what Vijay said anyway ) in the near future that gives out smaller wu's for slower systems.

That would be great!

Hey I might be able to throw another box online then. I have a 133 that might finish a villin by New Year's

Once I get a NIC and a cable, I have a Pentium 166@200 that I'll be throwing up.... I'm kinda sad that I sold my Epox MVP3G2.... I wish I had it back now because I could take the 166 to 300 MHz with it and an Intel FCPGA P3 cooler with a YS Tech 27 fan on it.... I sold the board because I thought that even at 250 (which is what I ran it at most of the time) it wouldn't finish a WU on time, and now that time limits are gone...

Oh well, I took that cash and got a DDR board for my Duron. and I've managed to scrounge an old VX chipset AT mobo for the 166, but all I can clock it up to is 200.. might try CPUFSB on it. Anyway.... let's get those old boxes folding!!
