I only get small work units.

My Abit BP6 system is folding pretty good. It's got 2 533 Celerons overclocked to 600 Mhz, Windows 2000 SP4, and has been running for about 3 weeks straight with no problems.

I have each processor working on its own work unit.

But according to Electron Microscope, I've NEVER had a work unit worth more than 47 points. They seem to be all in the range of 28 to 47 point units.

It may be just as well since these are only 600 Mhz processors, but I'd like to see some variety. If I had bigger work units, I wouldn't have to switch the ethernet cable back and forth between computers so often to let it upload / download its information.

I'm running the CONSOLE version of 5.02 for both folding programs, monitored by EM3. I have them listed as Thread_0 and Thread_1.

I've looked, but I can't figure out how to get into the thing where I can reset the parameters for folding. I'd need directions, starting with the Start << Run screens and what to type, if that's the way to do it.

Is it set as a service or not?

Tim

Yes, I think. Folding starts up when the computer starts.

mmonnin

As a service or no? Can you see the clients? I mean you can put a shortcut in the startup folder and have them start when the computer starts but they arent services.

Medlock

Click Start > Run...

Type "services.msc" (without the quotes)

If you see two entries like this one I've got highlighted, then yes, they are running as services.

Tim

Yes, they are both in the services list. Each one has its own line.

What does that mean and how can I make changes?

It seems to be working fine but you're probably getting only tinkers. That machine would be better served if you were getting gromacs IMHO!
