hmm.... Stanford's site says that it's a Gromac, yet all the other 6xx work units are tinkers. Have you restarted that computer lately? Maybe that would help.
Ok, update... For some reason, when I upgraded to the 4.0 client, I left the -advmethods switch in there. I removed it and replaced it with -forcesse and now I'm getting ~1:42:10 .. That still farking sucks.. WTH is wrong with this thing? It works fine - totally stable. It's a t-bird 1.33 ... Why doth folding sucketh so bad?
t-birds dont support SSE, so u will need to use 3dNow!
what mobo u using?...does it have any throttle down/cpu disconnect options in bios?..it might be trying to send halt commands to the cpu to cool it down if the temp is too high, which would cause the cpu to be ~50% effective towards folding

Well, look at the project stats page, or below. This WU benched at 21 days.
The other p680 series have 200-336 molecules except for the one project after that (P684). My Barton 2500 did it in about 19-20 hours at about 2 GHz, but with switches as follows: -advmethods -forceasm -forcesse (yes, ALL Three) set. Do yourself a favor, look at the logs, see how many steps per "frame" or percent of WU, ok(it is a 100 frame or % WU, logs should show % and in this case 1% = one folding frame entry on project stats page)???? AFAIK, this might be one of the 2,500,000 or 1,000,000 step WUs. I do not have the times for it on the P4 available right now (logs sitting in aLinux install that does NOT run on the IC7-Max3 motherboard I am now running and was not running when I got one), think that one ran about 18-19 on the P4 at 2.4 GHz. T-Bird might like the -forceasm switch, AFAIK, or the -forceasm -forcesse combo, on client 4.0 (I never had one to look at hands-on, skipped right from K6-2 series on AMD chips to a Barton 2500).
Basically, your T-Bird bit off a big thing to chew through-- unusually big. IF you leave the -advmethods switch off, you will get Tinkers. Right now there are LOTS of Tinker projects being tracked. Don't feel too bad, this WU is a complex thing to calc.

Well, it's ramped up a bit. Frame times are down to 47 minutes.. I guess that's bearable.
It's definitely not a cooling issue - I have a huge, overkill SLK900 on that bad boy. And it's running stock
On a side note, I followed that link, John... Looks like all the proteins "around" it are between 200-500 atoms. The p683_TZ2_NAT_EXP is, for some reason, 6426
Maybe that's why. But all three of my home machines have this exact protein right now. My 1.3ghz Pentium M Centrino is doing them in 15:46, and my XP 2400+ is doing them in 12:17.

Go back to using the -forceasm switch with that Tbird, prime. The -forcesse switch turns on SSE optimizations and the Tbird doesn't have SSE. It might be running without any assembly loops running.

were u doing anything on that box like playing a game and it just shows that time for the last frame completed?
It's a 1.33ghz t-bird... I dunno.. It runs fine, but that is just a crazy frame time.

just a thought.
