Post Your Folding@Home Rig Details

**TheMatt** · 12-11-2007, 09:43 PM

I have been interested in seeing what kind of rig(s) people are running FAH on. Post your basic rig details so we can compare.

I am running two. Here they are:

Desktop #1
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz 4M L2 cache LGA775
NVIDIA nForce 650i Chipset, 1GB Dual Channel DDR2
Running about 18 hours per day

Laptop #1
Mobile AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.8GHz 128k L2 cache skt 754
SiS Mobile M760 Chipset, 2GB Single Channel DDR
Running 24 hours per day with little interruption

I am planning on seeing if I can get two threads of FAH to run at the same time but have them be different calculations so I can stop one but not the other if necessary (if anyone has any info on that it would be appreciated).

Sorry this is very slightly off topic but a ps3 can finish a work unit in 5-6 hours....

**mattlock** · 12-11-2007, 10:02 PM

Rig 1 (This is my main rig)
Asus A8N Sli deluxe, FX60, 2gb DDR400
Running 24/7, SMP Client on VMware and Ubuntu 64bit

Rig 2 (Dedicated Folding rig)
Epox NF4 chipset, A64 4400+ @ 2.6, 1gb DDR400
Running 24/7, SMP client on VMware & Unbuntu 64bit

Matt here's a little info on running multiple clients.

You'll have to run a GUI and a Console client, or two console clients.

**grumpygit** · 12-12-2007, 10:11 AM

I'm running graphical client 5.03, 24/7 at 100% on the rig in My System.
Not very quick but seems stable enough for an old computer.

The WUs allocated to PS3 are designed to finish in under 8 hrs, so you can complete a WU overnight and carry on playing in the morning.

Can you spare one? I've only got the one and that won't run F@H properly.

Thanks, that worked out great. I am running on both cores now.

Many thanks, Matt! I'll do the changeover this evening.

JohnthePilot · 12-13-2007, 03:22 PM

I was only joking, but if you are serious, I'm very grateful.

You don't know how frustrating it is not to be able to take part. After all this time, although credited with over a thousand WUs, I've only actually completed one. I've tried all the tests I (and others) can think of and still can't find out what's wrong.

ebackhus · 12-14-2007, 09:09 AM

Last night I put you on rig #2.

JohnthePilot · 12-14-2007, 09:13 AM

See "My System" for my computer. I also have it running on my wifes: an older P4 3GHz with HT and my daughter's - a lowly 1.8 Ghz Sempron (I think) without issues. So John, I can't see why you can't fold? Must be pilot error.
