quick F@H v4 question

[towert7]

Hello all, at one point a few months ago i said i was going to get into hard folding, but sadly i had some computer issues and other things.

Anyway, im in it now!

Quick question: my pentium 2 @ 350mhz and my dads 1.6ghz amd XP both got a WU of 400. Then i put it on my pentium III @ 800mhz and it gave me a WU of 10000. can anyone explain this? is there a reason? is it a problem having such a large WU on my 800mhz computer? (ive seen how long it takes for my dads to work on a 400WU).

Does this have something to do with the "points"?

Edit: i noticed with the 400WU, it goes up by 1 each time, but for some reason my 10000 just went up by 100 in its first jump. Is this normal? (100/10000 = 1%)

Last question, i have the graphical client, and it has a option for "Molecule Draw Rate". Does this have any impact on the performance of F@H? And for that matter, is the graphic just for "show", or is it really processing it?

~Thanks

actually, looking at http://vspx27.stanford.edu/psummary.html the project summary, i think that answered my question.

Now i noticed a few people talking about the gromacs and tinkers... what are these?

Also, there is a Dgromacs.......

~Thanks again

Tinkers and Gromacs are two different molecular simulation models (you'll see you have
two different core files in your F@H folder). Tinkers are DAMN slow, and so give more
points, Gromacs are faster but yield less points.
