Sorry. Dry sense of humor and poor execution... Yes, I scoured the forums and picked a couple of people I thought might know.

For what it's worth, I am also trying to revitalize the folding union since unions are available again. I am soliciting the PS3 users as well.

Yeah, if we could get more people to fold, that would be great!

I can bring a bit of activity to the union, and answer some questions I think regarding to folding.

One of my clients is stuck on sending. The time to next attempt keeps getting larger. Is it worth waiting hours or should I drop it and start over?

Nothing wrong with the connection? I've had that happen and I had to restart the computer. Check the server to see if it is down.

yes, I tried restarting. If the smp wu doesn't transmit in 3 hours, I'll know if it is a server issue.

This is kinda sweet. normally got my CPU at 4.2. Thought I should see how it would if I have it running at 4.7. So went into bios and changed voltage and multiplier. Now my unit which normally takes 9min 33 seconds to finish 1% has dropped down to 8min and 40 seconds. I wonder if it will drop down more too. Also note that I am giving my GPU a rest from folding, so my points will be lower for the coming days. And I won't have my CPU running at 4.7 more than today. Edit: Time is now down to 8min 32 seconds. Roughly a minute less, so a bit over 10% decrease in time, the OC added another 500MHz to the speed which is a little over 10%.

All you have to do to help is download the program and run it on your computer when you feel like it. You can also pause it and come back hours later if you want.

So yeah, I have no idea how I'm getting these numbers. Surely upgrading chipset drivers wouldn't have this much of an impact.

Lucky you. I am going down since I don't fold as much with my GPU as I used to. Anyway someone wants to help me configure the folding client on my laptop? It says I am missing Open.CLL or something.

Post the real error and someone might be able to help :)

On the state of the [folding] union, I've submitted the request to support for leadership transfer. I'm going to clean it up so it doesn't look stale ^.^ Also it will be nice to have topics on topic, instead of one long thread about everything. :)

Well it was giving me an open.cll error. But if I turn of the GPU from folding, it works fine. Though it didn't show any progress before I hit the first %. So I didn't know whether it ran or not. It's not exactly fast. I guess it will give me an additional 2.5K points if I let it run 24/7. Processor is an first generation i5 450M. Running at 2.4GHz. Wonder if I can OC it.

Cool. The video card might be too old to use anyway. By the way, we have regained control of the folding team. I wrestled it from the original owner since he has been out of touch for several years.

I took the top team rank.

Let's take a moment to give shakes the respect he deserves.

Shakes, you've folded consistently for years. You, Calkulon, and a few others kept the team going. Since the first day I started folding you were there. Today, I take the #1 rank from you.

You inspired me to keep going. Seeing you at the top of the list, leading the team, you silently encouraged me to keep on folding. I have no idea who you are, we've never met, we've never talked, but you've earned an honored place on this team.

Three cheers for shakes.

If it is only one person then it is not so bad. His/her score will start at 0 again if the names are switched. Oh and since my CPU just won't run at 4.2 anymore, only 3.8, expect less contributions from me. :(

Hey, I broke our team into the 5 million by a team member milestone!

Can you believe it? We're rank 390. I remember when we were 455 and desperately trying to get back up to 450. Look at us now!

Go Team!

I've been folding 24/7 to stay at 30K 24h average. There's some PC games on the horizon that is going to significantly cut into that average.

About the only time i dont fold is when I'm going to sleep since it is kinda annoying to hear, the heat it outputs, and the lights of the case. Also some of the GPU WU's will make netflix stutter a bit so if i want to watch it, I'll have to pause the folding. Back when my PS3 was the only real folding i did i never thought that i would break top 10. Now i see how useless and a waste of time and energy the PS3 is for folding compared to my CPU and GPU. Hopefully the PS4 and maybe even the 720 will eventually get folding and will be a huge jump up.
