The evil 5 way melts...

[Sleepy_Steve]

I think one of santa many elves may have dropped a gpu wu under your tree to help you weather the temporary points drought ... as of posting time it doesn't show in EOC yet.

LOL, you guys droped presents under my tree back on the 20th. I dont need more. Spread the wealth to the other good little folders.

I turned in 2 WU's last night on the 23rd, and should have another 2 in by the 26th.
Unless there was a third WU sometime last night / today that im not reading right on EOC... In which case, thanks! But on a serious note, I dont need more presents right now.


Regardless, I'll have fun seeing if i reach my 10k by Jan 1st goal. It looks like its gona be nice and close.
I might visit my friend's X1900XT and teach him how to make it fold when his PC goes idle... Should help me get those last 500-600 points i'll need by then to hit the mark. But i want to do as much as i can from here on out with my own folders and my own borgs.

I have had so many melts, I'm going to puke. My lowly old PIII has ANOTHER one, and I just got done with one yesterday on my AMD rig. I'm never eating arby's again lol.

At times i have had half the farm clogged up with patty melts ... even the strategy of moving them to slow rigs only helps a bit cuz once the slow rigs get em they are there for so many days

This is even worse where you have fewer folding instances than I do since the probabablity of getting 4 or 5 of them is much higher than geting 15 or 20. And they do seem to come in spurts from the assignment server

but as good folders we just have to once in a while, and hopefully not too often

Finally after 5 days of eating patty melts, dessert!

My daughter's mini-mac pretty much live's on a steady diet of 2124's while
our main rig get's the same with the addition of some 996's from time to time.
Ps. btw thanx again for the help SantaFolding and Elve's !!!

A dualcore G5 at work is getting nothing but melts. They take a bit longer then 48 hours, more like four or five days to complete. Nobody is using the computer either. Too bad the Mac SMP client doesn't run on PPC.

 

[Audioaficionado]

They suck and I hate them but I have/will fold every single one of them I've gotten/get.

Anyone who deletes them is just wasting their time and screwing up the science.

 

[freeagent]

remember when all the 600+ pointers were abundant not too long ago? i guess this has to be our way of thanking them for it heheh i only have this pc to fold with, so i feel eveyones pain too

 

[Murdochs_mad]

I must be really lucky got given 'p2124_lambda_5way_melt_4_1001' as my first one (twice as well!) as I'm folding on my server to.

I am glad to be over the average!

The benchmark machine (P4c @ 2.8) produces them at 110 ppd.

I am doing P4c 2.8(@3.5) 132.264 ( Although thats an average of everything) Yippie!

So looking forward to x1950 pro's coming back into stock.

all of my macs do nothing but pattys......the odd ribo finds its way once in a blue moon

just have to get used to them

Ah, but to truly match the benchmark machine, in terms of ppd/GHz, you need to make 137.5 ppd. Perhaps you actually use yours?

Yeah. Everyone should have to fold on a PPC Mac at least a week. Then perhaps all the whining about points would decrease dramatically. Then maybe, just maybe.

OK!

I thought you supported this whole project? Surely more people folding on PPC Mac's would slow the whole FAH process to a crawl!!!!

 

[leelegend]

i run a small design and print company, so we are 70% mac based....
i have a couple of intel macs (hhhhmmmmm SMP), but most are PPC.
i wish they would do a SMP for the G5, i would rule!!!!

weee, i got an E6600 and an x1950xt -- I doubt I'll mind patty melts as much now.

Oh yeah, and i hit my jan 1st folding goal with 5 days to spare. It seems the IE settings thing was messing me up once the folders finaly got IE7 from the automatic updates, but it seems they are all returning propperly now

Hey, congratulations on the E6600 and the x1950xt, that's some impressive gear. I still don't understand all I know about the IE settings thing (which isn't a whole lot), do you just ignore it when you're SMPing in Linux?

 

[Adak]

Because SMP only works on Linux right now, the client.cfg file has no entry to use IE7.

That may be a concern later, when the SMP client is working with Windows, though.

Unless it's ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for a rig to use IE's settings, (which I've never seen yet), your client.cfg should ALWAYS say "no" to that option. That is the default, and Vijay has stated that this is definitely the preferred setting.

I agree Adak. BTW, it's nice to see ya around here every now and then!
