First of all I started folding again and this time for the [H]orde. I have been folding for a few weeks on my home PC. It doesnt get used for very much except the few hours of gaming that I am able to do and few other things. Basically it folds 95% of the time or more. I do most everything off of my laptop. (they will end up prying it from my cold dead hands). My Home PC is a Athlon 2600+ running at 2306mhz air cooled and stable at 43 degrees C. It has folded everything thing so far. I have 3 other units folding as well. One is and old AMD 500 with 128MB of SDRAM. My wifes PC, a P3 450 with 512 SDRAM, and the machine at work, a P4 1.6GB with 256 ram. My question is for the smaller machines they are taking a very long time to complete a unit. I switched over to nondeadline WU's, but it is taking a long time even for the small Tinkers. Would I be better off running a different DC client on these 2 small machines? F@H just seems to be to much for them. They have yet to complete a unit. So basically they are just wasting electricity.

 
The smaller WUs will help, and you should get some production out of them. Marty9876 may drop in, he has an entire farm of machines of that caliber. FAH will still make some good points on those machines. It helps to have more memory.
 
Yes. UD will give you points for "effort" as well as accomplishment. We also do UD DC. Look into the FAQ for guidance. You might want to move the 2 slower units to UD.

The 400 and 500 MHZ units should be (over time) be producing 15-30 points per day, but may take 10-20 days to produce a completed WU.


 
Welcome to the [H]orde!!!
With those system specs they should be turning in at least one or two timeless units per day. I have a p3 550 that takes on average 5 days to turn in WUs. Even the small ones. However all 4 timeless WUs are tinkers and those don't take any advantage of SSE or any other floating point optimizations. Check out FAHlog.txt and see how long they are taking to complete the steps. Its located in the same directory as where you put the FAH exe. Timeless Tinkers have between 20 and 100 steps.


 
yeah, my crappers take around a month to churn out a 241 point tinker :eek:
one of them will complete it's first unit in 11 hours LOL I'll tell you thou, my PIII450 does a good job on the ambers, less than a week for a 123 pointer :)
