Yes, you read that right. I finally started folding and doing it under "Angel Heather". Too bad I had to turn down my machine because my A/C is out and it is just way too hot in here to keep it turned up very far. Right now I have it running @ 10.5x200 (default volts). What can I do to increase output as it is running very stable and I haven't had any probs so far? Let me know what kind of tweeks I can do (especially if I'm not on and it's just running. Also, how do I set up my other rig to fold under the same name. I am on DSL behind a firewall.

    :clap::clap:

    To fold under the same name, just type the exact same name on the other computer. :)

    As for tweaks...
    run the shortcut as

    "X:\directory\fah3console.exe" -forceasm -advmethods


    Forceasm will tell folding to use the SSE extensions, and Advmethods will tell folding to try to get you gromacs, which will benefit from SSE.


    Edited to fix definition of switches

    You can give folding extra parameters if you modify the shortcut to the program and put -[parameter] after the quotes. If you don't have a shortcut just make one (you could also run it from a command line if you really wanted to).

    BTW, do you have those parameter definitions switched shwaip?

    In your StarUp directory off of your Start Menu
    Create a shortcut to the F@H executable that's like this . . .

    OK, I created the shortcut. Sorry for sounding dense.

    Hi mtgoat.
    Yes, that's right. But if you're running that on an AMD that's capable of running SSE, you'll want to run version 3.25.
    You can download it here

    Do I want to complete my current project first?

    I'm thinking it will just pick up the old WU when you start 3.25, but I don't recall for sure, so you can let it finish first if you'd like.

    Kudos to you for folding.

    Be sure to get yourself a folding sig here

    You'll have to wait until your name shows up on the list, though.

    Ok, thanks a lot. I will let it finish for now and have it stop when this completes since I am at 370/500 right now. Then I will start fresh and do the shortcut mod. So I will start with the new shortcut to enable the mod. :)

    Usage - When in the shortcut command line -
    "X:\Path\to\FAH.exe" -switches

    -advmethods
    Downloads Beta work units which are normally worth more points but are potentially unstable.

    -forceasm
    Forces 3DNow! boost on the 3.24 client and the SSE boost when using the 3.25 beta client.

    Glad to have you with us Larry.

    You can use the name Heather if you wish. I folded, as well as some others, under that name for awhile. No one from SM folded under that name beforehand. The username is yours if you wish.

    Mtgoat, let me know which ID you'll be using. I have a folder I'd like to dedicate to Heather.

    Since I like to stick with what I start with I will stay with "Angel Heather". Thank you for asking and thank you for dedicating folding to her. :)

    Consider it done. :thumbsup:

    It's not a real fast folder, but runs 24/7, and it's now folding along with you.

    I'm about to turn in a WU on my main rig.
    I'll switch to "Angel Heather" (even though it shows up as "Angel_Heather" on stanford's web-site) and leave it folding for a few days. It's a 2.3GHz Athlon XP so that should give you a boost for a little while.

    It does fold 24/7, so it will be working around the clock for the next few days for ya.
