I'm running smp on my iMac running V7.2.9. I know I can't get any smp wus on my mbp using V6xxxx and I can't get V7 to load correctly on my mbp. So maybe that's why I can't get v2 to work on my 2008 mbp.

Yup. V6 only serves Macs from some ancient server that is dying (and maybe dead already), and V7 requires a core 2 duo chipset. Won't even open on the core duo machine. My old MBP was one of the last made before they went c2d (It was in that first generation of Intel based MBPs). So I can only fold on my Mac Mini, and I7 MBP.

Our MPB's are Intel Core i7's. Will this V7 program work for us?

Been playing around with the client a little.

During the first day, I just let it run on default and I notice micro freeze times when I'm gaming. Started googling and looking at the client and realize that the default settings are 2 processes. 1 x SMP and 1 x GPU.

I changed it to 3 x SMP and no GPU while I'm at the computer and turn on the GPU when I'm away. Everything's been working great so far.

Yeah they should really add the turn off/pause the gpu in the post so people are not turned off/away from this because of the huge lag it causes.

You could leave the gpu set, right click and pause it while you are using the computer and if you have not embraced senility at an early age like me...... remember to unpause it when you leave the computer. :)

I took a look at the team stats and as far as I can tell by checking other large teams only the top 1000 members show on the team stats. I'll have to get with thrasher and see if there is a way to pull a full team roster in case we ever go over 1k members. But this in itself tells me that I'll have to implement a form for members to request the title. It is just going to become too labor intensive to scroll through the list looking for a new name to appear and trying to remember of that person has already gotten their title on ECF... Especially because the list changes on every update as people rise or fall on the leaderboard.

When I have everything in place I'll edit the OP to include instructions on how to request your Team ECF (folding@home) title.

Just heard about this for the first time and signed up immediately! This is so cool, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Guess the F@As must think I've got a great computer. I'm on a job that ends in....1.97 days with a final deadline of 72.10 days. Seems there are generous points on this one. "Estimated credit: 8855.31"

Welp, 9.74% progress and I'm watching it with true joy! Thank you for letting those of us who were not in the know, know!


Go Team ECF!! :)
