Strykers idea and post is a good, but I think a fresh listing of all the gear we have folding could be nice? :) So another chance to show of all the fancy stuff you got running! Any updates you have to your gear PLEASE do it in the SAME post, so do an edit not a reply-post. All other posts will be deleted.
To start it of, here is my setup:
1: Core 2 Q6600@3.2GHz, 2GB PC6400, afternoons and evenings, maximum possible output of ~2,500 ppd
2: 8800GT 512MB@675MHz, whenever my main PC is on (running as a service), maximum possible output of ~5,000 ppd
3: Athlon XP2500+, 1,5GB DDR400, a few days a week, unknown ppd
4: Core Duo 1.66GHz, 2GB DDR2-533, some afternoons and evenings, ~300ppd
Update:
1 and 2 are back in action after a while (PC running too hot, hope to have solved this).
3 and 4 are sadly out of action. 3 has been decomissioned and 4 is being spared the load, since the fan is starting to fail and the maximum possible output is a mere 300 ppd.
- Hope to have 3 replaced soon, will be a high spec Atom dual core (FWIW, hope to equal the Xp2500+)
- Hoping to add another laptop running sporadically, but output will only be around 500 ppd.

PEN
Pentium Centrino 1.6GHz 512mb (XP - Work Laptop)
P4 2.4GHz 512mb (Debian - Always On)
P4 3Ghz (XP - Home Rig - Always On)
Plus a few borged PC's that are still running somewhere.
Work:
1x Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 (2.4Ghz per core), 4GB RAM, running the SMP F@H process under the latest 64bit release of Ubuntu Linux. Running 24x7.
1x Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (Centrino mobile, 2.0Ghz per core), 2GB RAM, running the SMP F@H process under the latest 64bit release of Ubuntu Linux. Running almost 24x7, but I turn off F@H for max 2 days 9-5 a week total, when I actually have to go out the office with the lappy, as I want to conserve battery.
Home:
Currently I don't run F@H on any of my machines at home, because i'm cheap and already use enough electricity there without running my computers all the time at full load. My mahine only normally gets turned on when I want to game (and I wouldn't want to run F@H while gaming). All the other machines in the house that run as file servers/NAT gateways and such tend to be of the 486/early Pentium variety, so I try not to load them too much in case they go bang ;-)
@Home:
1x Intel Pentium III 500MHz with 128MB RAM (Debian), running F@H 24/7
1x AMD Sempron 1.8GHz with 512MB RAM (Win Home Server), running F@H 24/7
1x Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz with 5GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 with 1GB RAM (Win Vista) running 2x GPU F@H processes 24/7
Will perhaps add ordinary CPU F@H processes left these two running at schosdo
@Work:
1x Intel Pentium D 3.0GHz with 2048MB RAM (Win XP), running 2x F@H processes 24/7.
@School:
I left these two running at school when I finished there last Summer, but now only one of them are running. I have no idea which one, and I don't know for how long it'll stay active either... 17/4-2009: some of these are obviously still running, as I have more processes listed on Stanford's page than what I can make account for...
1x Intel Pentium 4 3.6GHz with 3320MB RAM (Win XP), running 2x F@H processes 24/7.
1x Intel Core2 2.4GHz with 3008MB RAM (Win XP), running 2x F@H processes 24/7.
Currently I just have the one box running F@H. :sad:
Intel Core Duo X6800EE running two instances of F@H.
TL.
OK
1. POS server P3x2 800MHz 1Gbs RAM 24/7 2 F@H Processes Win2003 (Very slow)
2. P4 2Ghz 348 Mb RAM 24/7 1 F@H Process XP
3. P4 3.2EE 2Gbs RAM 24/7 2 F@H Processes XP
4. P4 2.6 24/7 512Mb 2 F@H Processes (Work) XP
5. P4 2.4 when its switched on XP
6. P4 Core2 Quad QX6700 4Gbs RAM Vista Running SMP core (when it works) Kicking out around 1700 Points a day
Soon will be adding a P4 3.7EE with 2 F@H Processes
Currently running
AMD x2 6000+ @ 3.8Ghz 2048Mb
But hopefully ill get my hands on a new Phenom Quad again soonish (i killed the first oops)
Um, lemme see...
1 x HP Proliant (bring back compaq) dual 3GHz Xeon, SMP client.
About 12 x P4 S478s, 2.4, 2.8 and 3GHZ HT, console client on one core.
2 x IBM X226s, single 3GHz Xeon, console client on one core.
1 x Opteron 2.8GHz (broadcast video server:norty:), console client on one core.
1 x Dell C2D 1.8GHz latop, working hours, SMP client.
1 x C2D E4400@3GHz, playing hours, SMP client.
I think that's it.
Bump for new users to add (and present users to update) :)
All I have running is:
1x AMD 3200+ - Running 24/7
It's on 24/7 so I thought I'd use it. I don't fancy leaving my other computer one 24/7 because I'm a student and don't like the idea of the bills.
Bump! Please update :)
1: Running GPU client with 8800GTS 512
2: PS3 with the "life with playstation" folding
Oh and I have Xerator folding also under my name with Gigabyte Radeon 4850 1GB RAM.

Going 'Whoosh' :D
Would you guys mind updating your equipment lists? Cheers :)
Both the kids have new PCs arriving for christmas (courtesy of a recent Boffer), so I will be getting F@H running on those again a day or so after when they are properly connected. I'm afriad my main PC is not running F@H at all atm, I have had such an awful year for hardware issues that I am loathe to run anything on the PC that is not absolutley necessary as I rely on it for my business work. So apologies for slacking, but hopefully there should be some new GHz coming very shortly.

Well, I've disabled my CPU folding and moved into the realm of GPU folding using a Powercolor ATi HD4670 1GB
ok, in the right thread :rolleyes:
1x c2d e6600 @ 3.4 4gb ram cpu folding with a gtx 275 896MB gpu folding
Currently:
1 cpu folding c2d oc'd @ 3.6 GHz 32 bit 3 GB ram running 24/7
1 cpu folding c2d @ 3.0 GHz 64 bit 4 GB ram running 24/7
Hope to add 2 more cpus in the near future and maybe some nighttime gpu folding

That would be wicked!
Mine is likely to drop in a couple of weeks as I'm moving to a new flat where I will be paying all the bills for electric etc. Currently I pay an all inclusive rate which means my two PC's can be on 24/7.
Hopefully I will get back into foldong after a fast start. Been a bit busy lately.
1. Q9550 @4 gig and a 4870 X2 Cpu client and gpu client.
2. C2d @3.6 and hopefully a 275 for gpu client only
Both these should be good for around 400 points an hour when running oh and a ps3 when I switch it on.
So when I get sorted hopefully will add around 8000 - 10000 a day!! :D
:crying: Just need to get organised and get new gfx for work machine number 2.

My 3.2 GHz Q6600 puts out around 2600 ppd, if run 24/7 so that 4GHz quad of yours should really kick ass - something like 3500 ppd!
Same as previous just add in 3 GPU's folding.
OK - so I added GPU folding with 8800GT on my c2d @3.6 GHz pc.....running both cpu and gpu folding 24/7 (except when I'm running LFS). Still running the c2d @ 3.0 GHz on my son's pc 24/7. He has a Radeon 4850 gpu so may do some gpu folding there too.
And whoaaaa - that gpu folding cranks - really seeing an increase in productivity! And was surprisingly easy to get going.
Well after about a week of down time due to a fried 8800GT gpu, i'm back in action temporarily with a ATI Radeon 4850.....Hope to replace that soon when I figure out what new gpu to get. Thinkin' about a nVidia GTS 250 or maybe GTX 260..... but for the 260 I'd have to get a new psu as the 260 and up require 2 x 6-pin supplementary power connectors .... more bucks :g:
Interesting to compare the 8800GT with the 4850 in the same system. Not news - but the 4850 is doing about 1/2 the ppd (2,000 v 4000). But more interesting - I can't really run the cpu folding client with the 4850 folding -> both cpu cores stay at 100% and performance on anything else is hurt badly. Even without cpu folding the 4850 uses over 50% of both cores (nothing else running). Didn't have that problem with the 8800GT.
Anyway, as the 4850 does actually give an improvement in LFS performance, so I'm not in a big hurry to choose a new gpu. But sooner or later it has to go back in my son's pc :rolleyes:
omg - triple post :norty:
Long story short - I'm up and running gpu folding with new card ....
BFG GTX 275 OC 896 MB
....on a oc'd 3.6 GHz c2d E6850 with Raid 0 hdds
Won't be running cpu folding on this machine.
Still CPU folding on another 3.0 GHz pc.
Still on the first wu, but looks like it will do 7-8,000 ppd (about twice the 8800GT) :taz: Like the 8800 GT, it runs about 82 C when folding - quite warmer than the ATI 4850 that only hit about 60 C.
Figured my system was 2 years old and in need of some improvements - so I went with a Thermaltake Black Widow 850W modular PSU. Long evening switching everything out (first time replacing a psu). Scary when I realized I wasn't sure where the 2 connectors from my Raid 0 hdds fit into the 4 SATA sockets on the mobo ..... afraid I'd wiped the hdds when I got "no operating system"....... Switch conncections ........ "Raid error" ......... Switch connections ........ "no operating system"...... got smart (ha) and entered the raid config and set the Raid config to match the sockets ......... we have lift-off :blink:
For about a week now -
1 gpu folding on GTX 275 OC'd (24/7)
1 gpu folding on Radeon 4850 (about 12/24 hrs)

nice one ed :thumbsup2: i have a gtx 275 and get around 7,000 ppd ( if run 24/7 which i rarely do) mine ran around the same temperatures in my old case but in my new one temps have dropped to 78 C max, but then again my card is not clocked ( YET !!):norty:
yeah my CoolerMaster case has the psu on the bottom - right under the graphics card - so gpu ambient temp of 63 C is prolly fairly high. Glad to hear my temps not way out of line. Not that I'm gonna to replace my full tower CoolerMaster Cosmos, but what's your current case?
My GTX 275 was OC'd out of the box - it's what they had in stock locally. Ever use RivaTuner? Right now, I'd be a bit timid to oc it myself - RivaTuner looks scary .... :eyebrow:
Hope to have a c2d GTS 250 running also within a week :)
have just installed my rig temporally into a silverstone fortress
it has the psu under the gfx card aswell, but am working on a mod for it that will
compartmentalise it ( is thats a word ? ) and have a extra fan blowing cold air onto the gfx intake fan.
my last card bfg 8800gtx was oc'd out of the box to so haven't played with rivatuner yet but have read that the gtx275 clock's to
gtx285 levels quite easily so once the mod is up and running i might just have a play :norty:
Just installed the SMP part and GPU part on my new PC.
GPU is really fast compared to CPU.
Running on Phenom II 955, GTX260.
Hey Thulsa Doom, glad to hear you're back in business ..... but I noticed I was closing points on you and no points showing yet for you :g: Any probs getting going??
I'd be curious about the ppd for that GTX 260 - that was the card I was first thinking of getting.....
delankster - here's a link to a great review/benchmarking of the BFG GTX 275 OC that includes a good comparison on the overclocking. I might have to check out the utility they used .... EVGA Precision Graphics Tuner. The link is to the page on Temps/power consump/OC, but there are quite a few other pages on the dropdown menu near the top.......
http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1554&pageID=6787 (http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1554&pageID=6787)
Might be a help when you get to OC your card :) They compare quite a few 275 benchmarks to many other cards. From the review, 82 C under heavy load is par for the 275 OC and in a healthy range. Clever adding the extra fan though mate - any extra cooling will prolly keep it living longer.
gpu folding on 3 pcs now....
BFG GTX 275OC 896 MB (8200 ppd)
ATI Radeon 4850 (2000 ppd)
GTS 240 (5500 ppd)
The ppd are the rate each folds on a typical WU when pc is otherwise idle. So theoretically, could do as much as 15,000 ppd. The GTS 240 is in my son's new pc that interrupted my Thursday race to sign Fed-Ex delivery :rolleyes:
right got the new rig running now :D
i5 750 @ 3.0 Ghz 4Gb ddr3 cpu folding (on stock cooler, will clock it more when i get bracket for my Thermalright Ultra-120)
gtx 275 896 MB Gpu folding
not sure if it'll make much diiference but 4 cores has to be better than 2 right ?
even if it doesn't should ease the load while multi tasking :)
