I'm new to 2630

Tue Jun 24, 2008 11:18 am

Thanks to notfred's addition of proxy-handling features, I can now fold at work on idle machines without getting in the way of their legitimate uses. Bring-on the Quad-cores!

A few years ago, I switched from team 0 to team 32 because OverFoldix totally improved my folding situation. Today, I'm switching to team 2630 because of notfred's diskless folding tools.

My personal workload is negligible. The best box I own is a Celeron with 256 MB, overclocked to 300 MHz. At work, I can borrow a machine or two when they're not busy doing "real work," so a folding client like notfred's where all the work stays on a USB stick is ideal.

Constant:
1 instance on a 3 GHz Prescott with 1 GB of RAM
3 instances on a 3GHz Dualie Paxville with 2 GB of RAM (I may replace this with a single SMP client shortly)

Variable:
Today, I've got 3 GHz x 8 cores and 16 GB of RAM I can play with, but I've gotta give it up tomorrow. Tomorrow, who knows what I'll have?

Thanks! And thanks for bugging me enough in PMs to go do the proxy folding access - I know others have asked for it over the years but there has always been something else going on.
