Is there a version of linux specially made for getting full speed out of a PC for folding? I picked up a few Migrus mini-itx workstations that I would like to use just for folding.
 
Well, I found that Ubuntu gave me the best performance. I even had an optimized gentoo build, but the performance was only like 1% more, plus the GPU performance was 20% worse.
 
There is ubuntu but I'm guessing you're looking for more speed than that.

This link <Takes a bit to load don't know why maybe its just RR being a ******* **** ***** ***

and this thread taken from this very forum.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you. Sorry I didn't poke around before asking. I just knew everybody here would give me a quick answer.:salute:
 
They see the USB stick as a harddrive, but just won't boot from it using this image. Does work when I make up a Win XP thumbdrive. Don't undestand why this doesn't work :(:shrug::cry:
 
:clap::clap::clap::clap:Well I think I figured it out! There was a setting in the BIOS for using LEGACY USB devices. Once I enabled that it was able to boot off anything USB .. WOOOOHOOOO!!!:clap::clap::clap::clap:
 
My 9800GTX+ is pulling like 7KPPD so maybe 20 or so of them would do .... Hmmmmm..... Wonder what my power bill would look like if I ran that many ??
