Okay, this is the text only console version running on a p4 2.8 w/ 512 RAM. The first work unit on my work PC. All options were checked "NO" during setup. fahcore_82.exe is using 99% cpu when running alone.

Completed 405000 of 500000 steps <81> after over 24 hours.

Isn't this ridiculously slow?

Not at all... Proteins will vary greatly in the amount of time it take to crunch them... It's 81% after about 24 hrs, and should be done soon... I've had proteins (on my P4 2.4C @ 3.0) that took as little as 6 hrs..... and as much as 90 hours....

p1805_Collagen_POG10_ref is worth 130 points.

So at 2.8 Ghz it should take around 130/110x24 = 28:20 hours.
So you look like your folding at full speed.

Luck.........

Ahh, I see now. Ok, just finished my first WU from work.

Due Time is the time required to finish. I thought that was the expected time to finish.

 

[OSUguy98]

It's the deadline... If you use something like EMIII to monitor your boxen, it can keep track of your WUs and tell you when you won't meet a deadline,etc...

Can't do EMII for this one. Got this one running from my thumb drive on my work PC. No admin rights at all either.

Dang thats a singy IT department if they let you fold on it but dont' allow you to keep the client on the hard drive. Or do they know about it at all? Permission first!
