Andy-2004 Posted May 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 just found out for ya moon...the F"H programme...collects a work unit form the internet...works on it for a few days and then sends it back...therefore only using internet at the begining and at the end of a WU for no more that 30 seconds i woud say....so its up to you from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intratech Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 It doesn't have to be a day mate.. different WU take different length of time to complete. On average I finish big Gromacs in about 8 Hours and i've had tinkers that take 29 Hours (those are the really bad ones) to complete. Alot depends on the speed of your CPU and having tight RAM timings help to shave a fair amount of time off your WU time.Sorry both my CPUs are dedicated to the PitCrew :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-2004 Posted May 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 i was using that as an example to keep it simpleAnd why not use one for the pit and one for us? :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 When you get the time , intratech, how about a RAM timing tutorial ? It's one of those things I know I should know . :) OK, Andy, I'll use the ol' gal for folding here and my new box for SETI at the Pit. I promised jazzy.

Andy-2004 Posted May 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 so yur joining the team.....Well...do you leave you PC on all the time or turn it off when your not using it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I disconnect from the 'net between sessions but leave the machine running all day. I turn it off at night as I'm environmentally conscious and the power supply round here is worse than Baghdad's. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intratech Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 And why not use one for the pit and one for us? :wub:Erm.. I'll think about it. I'm planning on building a Athlon FX-5x system soon, provided I have enough money, so I may just put the faster of the two P4s to fold for WF.
