E-Goat Folding Team - Using their PCs spare capacity to find medical cures

[wobbly]

Ive just bought a new ATI 4870 graphics card and bloody hell.....the thing eats FAH. The Graphic card version is better looking and much like the ps3 one. Now ive got to find out if you can run the cpu one at the same time.

 

[Ex-Bay]

Thats the point though.....you don't need a new PC......almost ANY old PC will do......just leave it chugging away in the background and you'll probably never know it's there.

However if you need a good excuse to get a brand new spanking machine......well

Fold on...................DT_Xtremez_09:

Well, the interim Mobo is working (after a lot of stress) and faster that the old one. The problem with "any old PC" is that the huge work files I get take a week!

A new (and faster) machine is on the cards for later this year.
I'd like to understand more about Wobbly's new Video card. . . .

Time our Folding Team had a bit of a BUMP!!!!

We're down to only 24 CPU's working on it in the last 50 days - surely we can do a lot better than this!!!

We're ranked 1561 of 155640 teams, which is good - but we're slipping down the table a bit now...

For those new members of the Goat - why not join in, the program takes a minute to download and install and works in the background when your PC/PS3 is on - it doen not degrade performance....

Our team has been going 2 years now, but could always do with more members...

See here for more details

As of a quick glimpse this morning, we now have only 23 CPUs on the job.
A PC running F@H does not consume much by way of energy, so come on Chaps & Chapesses, do try and get going.

 

[blanketstacker85]

downloaded and running now. Like to do my little bit for a good cause. especially when it doesnt cost me anything!!

 

[Ex-Bay]

And a warm welcome to "blanketstacker85" for pitching in.

As of this morning, there are (only) 20 CPUs on our team.

Come one chaps & chapesses, have a go!

[Ex-Bay]

We now have 21 CPUs running.
Come on Goaters, get Folding, please.

 

[Ex-Bay]

BUMP

There are only 19 CPUs at it.
Please, folks, just leave your PC quietly working in the corner and let it get on with it.

Well we are now down to 17 .........something so simple and useful and people can't be ar$ed......says it all really.

Come on guys, thats a pretty poor show. It doesn't affect your PC and it doesn't slow it down - how can it possibly hurt?

Lets get the team climbing back up the stats again!

Well said, Fomz.
I think you missed one item in the Vote- one computer is always running.

It's not like you to be moaning there Tashy! I thought that would have stopped now you're out and earning a living! DT_Xtremez_14:

I just realised though that I don't have the folding software running on my wife's laptop yet so I am off to sort that out.
Happy Folding all! DT_Xtremez_30:

 

[Ex-Bay]

Well said, Edzar.

Unfortunately, my B machine has decided to stop working and just sits there, bleeping and making strange noises, so I'm down to one working CPU.
I'll fix it ASAP (anyone know anything about Hewlet Packard PCs?)

 

[PVRisthefuture]

I'll fix it ASAP (anyone know anything about Hewlet Packard PCs?)

Yes. They're exactly the same as any other PC, with different pre installed software.

 

[denthemen]

Where are all the Goaters??

Where are all the Goaters??

Have just been on Kakao 'cos it shows much better stats and there is only 7 people folding out of the 59 people who have registered!!!!DT_Xtremez_25:

I can't believe that the other 52 do not turn their computer on these days.....

Just let it run automatically from start up guys and you'll never notice it.

How do you think all these gene discoveries are being found - lucky guesses.

/rant - Happy New Folding Year DT_Xtremez_30:

 

[Ex-Bay]

There was a bit of a "I'm cutting back" when the fuel prices shot up, but I really think it's time some of the team got going again or more joined in (?).

Come on chaps & chapesses; get folding please.
It's not exactly expensive.

 

[Edzar]

Just got back from my many jolly jaunts around the planet these days, none of it at her majesties pleasure either and I have noticed that the Folding software's not been running.

I have an HP machine which had Vista but I updated it with Windows 7 around end Nov and never noticed it wasn't running - too busy doing other stuff.

I'm going to try re-installing it but and see how that goes but at the moment if I open it, it seems to start then just closes down.

Anybody any ideas, cos I think if I uninstall it I will lose any data that it's already been working on?

 

[wobbly]

I'm not sure mate but if its not running then a re-install be in order. Have you tried running in compatibility mode and running it as admin?

 

[Ex-Bay]

I noticed I've had trouble with my A machine and the programme not communicating. I've re-installed it (don't care for this new version). And the B machine is trying to work now I have a new PSU.

Come on chaps, get Folding !
