Hi folding expert around
Since i have a spare Atom330 running for some good reason for 24*7 , can i fold also ? It is using a 945GC which i believe not much of GPU power going to contribute.
Will it be ok ? I'm using a bunle Vista -Basic ..is it ok or enough to go ??
1 more thing to ask , will it occpany my broadband bandwidth ?Since now it already narrowband due to poor ISP ??

2630's production sure has dropped like a stone in the past months.

Welcome back mph_Ragnarok! Are you also folding with the GTX 280? I think they are good for about 8500 ppd.

I definitely am folding with the GTX 280 as well. It is also overclocked around 15%.

Take a look. I read that the 280 would get about 8k ppd, but with my quad core ( which has yet to turn in a work unit since I started 2 days ago) the two have only put up between 4k and 5k ppd ?
mph_Ragnarok wrote:Ahh, if you take a look at the link again, it says I have now churned out about 7k total in the past 24 hours.
I guess the earlier low numbers were just low because it took time for my units to roll in and my average production rate to wind up. Yay !
You know, if I was on UGN, I would be increasing their production like 15%

I've been a TR "regular" reader since, well, about 2000-2001. I picked up the bug through college and stayed with it after graduation. I was more active about 5-6 years ago than I have been recently (AMD64 heyday, Opteron 1xx cores and all that).
I've since come back to Folding@Home via an unlikely avenue for me - PS3 Folding. It took me until now to finally get a PS3, and what do I do within 48 hours of firing it up? Folding!
So, I've rejoined team 2630, although my previous stay on the team many years ago was short-lived (I folded for a couple of years for the old AMD corporate forums - team 34106).
Now that I'm back and active in Folding@Home, I might distract a couple of my boxen at home to join in. They're currently running S@H, CPDN and Rosetta@Home via the BOINC client.
So, I just thought I'd drop in and give a wave.

Also, do I need to track down that neat imagecfg.exe tool that allows you to hard-code which core each process runs on exclusively?

TR has best comprehensive and unbiased news coverage and articles. So I fold here. We need more attention for this forum, though, to keep up with the big teams.

I guess this means A1 just goes after 4 threads. I'm only running A1 WU for now.
I tried setting affinity for the 4 worker threads restricting them to even-numbered cores. In task manager this leads to those cores' CPU usage being pinned to 100%. But it doesn't look like it improves the PPD.
Thanks for the help.
