Getting back into folding...

Good grief, that's a huge difference. With both GPUs and CPU running, I'm consistently in the 55,000PPD range. From what I'm seeing, the R9 280 is basically 2012-era silicon since that drive the 79x0, 8950, and R9 280, so I guess it's just that old. I've also been experimenting with Crossfire...

Getting back into folding...

Been a few years but with this cool weather, I thought I'd fire up F@H again and do something useful while keeping the room warm. :) My system is relatively old (Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2GHz @ 3.8GHz) and from what I'm reading, CPU folding isn't really worth much at all compared with GPUs. Is it...

Encryption software, now that TrueCrypt has ceased operations?

True, physical access to a system is game over.

TrueCrypt Hidden volume

Seriously. To anyone on the fence about whether to switch, do a search for 'truecrypt forshaw'

Not exactly. The crypto is sound, but the windows driver in Truecrypt is broken. It'd be best to switch to Veracrypt 1.15 or newer.

OK!.........All you OLD DC FARTS! Time to come out of hidding.

Lots of familiar names and avatars in this thread.... Sadly, much of my Folding force has diminished since I manage fewer computers and most of my friends have switched to laptops from desktops. I should see if I can get a few more clients fired up. I'm kinda shocked my stats haven't been...

F@H Question - assignments and updates

quick control of your F@H service

Limited appeal, true (ok, maybe I'm the only one :))... I just prefer it because it's mouse-free. A command-line option also allows the command to be added to a batch file that can pause the service, launch a game, and then resume the service automatically. I did shorten it further so no...

quick control of your F@H service

Hi All, I've been running the F@H GPU client for a while and while it's much more stable than in the X1900 days, it doesn't run as transparently as I'd like. If the GPU service is running, games tend to be choppy and some video files will hang my computer. The solution to this for me was to...

Is there an interest for a Christmas Race in Folding@Home?

Just started two SMP clients this evening. One on my core duo LV laptop and one on a Dual Xeon 2.8GHz. Fingers crossed, I'll be wringing lost of points out of the multicore boxen. I also went through my pile o' hardware and found a couple of P4 CPUs. Anyone have a need for a P4 2.4GHz or...

F@H SMP on Dual Xeon HT?

Looks like these ones are Cranford (800FSB/1MBL2) Xeons with PC2100 ECC/reg RAM. Does memspeed have much impact on F@H? Will fire up the SMP client tonight once I can reboot the server.

Thanks for the info guys, looks like a no brainer. SMP client it is! :) What kind of Xeons are you running GleeM? Sounds like a similar setup to this machine here...

F@H SMP on Dual Xeon HT?

I have a dual-Xeon 2.8GHz box with 4GB RAM running two standard F@H clients- would it be worth switching it over to the SMP client or should I hold off for a quadcore box?

Can any Folders help?

My folders are all over the place, most are running full-time and pulled in about 25,000 points last week. Maybe 4000 ppd possible during the race? I have ~25 (P4/AXP/A64 .5-1.5GB RAM) PCs = ~2500-3000 ppd 1 dual Xeon 2.8GHz/4GB with 2 std. clients = ~250 ppd 1 Opteron 2.4GHz/2GB w/...
