Hmmh, so does anyone use the GUI or console one? If so, does anyone has a guide with pictures (console one). I killed the GUI one for now as it said it would use extra cpu...

Hi Yourhighness,

Way back on page one of this thread,under "Tips and Tricks For Folding", it says to Slide Molecule Draw rate all the way to the left.
This is so that the CPU/GPU aren't spending time drawing molecules when they could be folding.

Folding@Home~Wiki has alot of great information.

Technically # 11 but #1 w/ you guys.

YourHighness I used the teminal (textbased) one for along time and I perfer the GUI version b/c it is easier to control the the amount of CPU used.

Good to have you on the team BlackSpyder :thumbsup:

Yourhighness, I use the GUI with no trouble. See my sig for equip comparison. I've even played Doom II & III (Resurection)without a glitch.

How do I get help? Who is helping me?

On mine, I have the CPU percentage about 95% so I can still do normal activities while having F@H running. When I go to sleep I crank it up to 100%.

Also if you close out of Folding@Home a lot reduce the amount of time it waits before it does a checkpoint. It will increase the amount of time it writes to the hard drive, but it will save every little bit of work you do.

Does the less 5% make that big of a difference?
I keep it on 100% while surfing and have not had any trouble.

I need the 5% because when I "normally" use my computer I do a lot of things. I have music playing, GAIM, Firefox, Anti-Virus, Gtalk, and sometimes other programs... (word, flash, picasa, etc..)

The only things I can't do while F@H is running is check my Virtual Villagers and play Yahoo Pool. (Based on what I've tried :thumbsup:
