Firing up some old systems

I'm thinking of adding some of my old systems to the mix, a 800mhz PIII celeron and a G3/350 iMac (slot-loading). Would they be able to handle some of the deadlineless WU's?

Also, since they would be hooked up to my router, would I be able to have the same username on each system or would I have to assign separate names to each one?

    Bad news the deadlineless WU's are no more, they ran out of applicable projects a while back and no current project would benefit from this type of WU. The celeron should handle normal WU's if left on 24/7 if it has SSE chipset.

    Unfortunately, the mac G3 is past it's usefulness as a folding machine at this point :( but we appreciate the effort :thumbsup:

    No matter how many computers you have on a router, you can use the same Folding name for every client spread across your LAN/work group.

    However, each needs its own unique machine number specified. Folding uses BOTH, and since many people fold under one ID for all their machines for points credit and Folding wanted to allow that, the work units are given and tracked by number within ID. That clear enough???

    Stanford automatically assigns that, so don't worry about it.

    Straight_Man is partially correct. If any of the machines have more than one client per machine, each client (per machine) should have a unique machine ID.

    Well I'd only have one client running on each machine.

    So if I'm following all of you correctly, each of my systems should have a unique machine number assigned by F@H. All I have to do is input my username on each one so they're all being recognized as processing under my account.

    Exactly. :)

    Don't forget the team number is 93 :D

    That does clear it up. Thanks guys!

    On a slightly off-topic note, I peeked at the DIMES board and started up that program to run alongside F@H. Nothing like pulling double-duty. :D
