I just downloaded the folding program, looks pretty cool. I registered aas team 93, hope ya don't mind... What do I do with it now? How do I get all the cool bells and whistles that everybody else has? I have looked at the threads but could use a little guidance, I want to become the number one folder ever!

    Welcome to the team! This is definitely the friendliest and most helpful team around, so you chose wisely :)

    AS for the number one folder, there's a couple hundred of us that also want that spot, but mr. csimon isn't going to be letting go any time soon ;)

    Good luck there man, half these guys that are high up are running multiple machines but if you stick by it you can get on up there.
    Welcome aboard, I assume you added your name to the program.
    Set the core priority to slightly higher and cpu usage to 100% and set it to perfered client as F&H.

    What do I need to do to be a good folder? How can I get better? How is it competative?

    Where do I make these adjustments?

    Get as many machines as possible folding for you and make sure they're turned on as much as possible. 24/7 if you can.

    EyesOnly ponders the possibility to run f@h on the short-media servers in his name.* :p

    In the taskbar you'll see the folding cog, right click it and go to where it says configure then go to advanced and that's where you'll find it...

    I figured since he said it looked cool he went graphical...I may be wrong though.

    Done and Done. I got 3.4 I think....Not sure. It looks really cool with all the molecule things though. What determines score?

    The number of wu's you do and the point value for said wu's...

    IF you have an AMD CPU go back to the download page, go to the bottom of that page and click on the beta clients link. Get that and install it overtop the old client.

    Do that and we can tell you how to make it go even faster.;)

    Marc, he's running a Celeron right now, so the 3.25 client is unnecessary.

    Thanks for joining the team, and welcome to folding!

    Bah where did he say that?

    Well anyway, does that Celeron have SSE?

    It's a 2.5GHz, so I'd assume it's got SSE. But I don't know that much about Intels, so I could be wrong.

    Welcome aboard. It's a great team, very supportive, any question you could ever want answered about the project will be quickly and ((in most cases ;) ) correctly.

    Welcome to Team Short Media, home of the 1337proc...a prized possession that all of us hope to hold in our very own hands some day.... :D

    OK well then he can use advmethods since it does have SSE. The Celerons are P4s with less cache.

    Go to the properties of the of the shortcut inyour startup folder. On the target line type this " -advmethods" w/o the "" but with a space before the - and that will help you out a lot.

    What are "wu's"? What determines score and all that? Like any gamer, HOW DO I WIN? (Although, helping out a worthy cause I guess we have all already won...)

    If you go into the "User CP" then "Edit Profile" here at S-M you'll find a box to add the nice Folding stats box to your signature. Your user name won't show up on the list until you have turned in your first WU.

    WU's = Work Units

    You'll work on one WU at a time (until you build that HT Intel comp, which can do two simultaneously). When done, it sends the results to Stanford for further number-crunching; their research is looking for certain patterns of behaviour during the "Folding" process. The points are based on the complexity of the particular protein your machine just worked on, and how fast your computer finished the job. Complex protein + fast crunching = most points. There are ways of upping the odds of getting the big-pointer's, depending on the capability of your computer. Our man w/ the plan mmonnin, has written a great FAQ on the subject.

    Sorry I cant take credit for that. All I did was post it. Follow the link in the thread to the folding community to see the original writer.

    http://folding.stanford.edu/psummary.html

    That link has points for each WU, the server its on, the deadline and more useful info.

    You're still the "man w/ the plan", even if it wasn't your plan... :D
