Started my old Athlon 500 folding 4 days ago on Redhat 9.1.


69% through a WU as I type, processing about 25,000 every 1.33333 hours. (5 day WU turnaround)

Is this normal, I wanna really contribute to the No1 posl

May have to "borrow" some old machines from work and linux them.  ;)

I think 30 seconds of bandwidth every few days is nothing anyone should be too bothered about.

A bit more wothwhile than the SETI project! (Soz Aliens!)  :huh:

On older cpus the folding rate can be fairly slow, but be assured that every extra bit counts towards the total!  Stanford benchmark the points you get for each WU based upon how long it would take their reference system (a Pentium 800MHz) to complete the WU, so if you have anything slower than that then yes it will seem to take an age to finish a WU.

WUs come in different sizes and it sounds like you have got one of the bigger ones and they can take a while.  You can check the reative sizer of the WU by reading this thread (http://forum.deadmen.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2840).

You can fold about 33% faster if your cpu supports the SSE instruction set.  You can learn how to do this here (http://forum.deadmen.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2993).

Faster cpus also make a big difference!  If you use a 2500 Barton then it should munch its way through the biggest WUs (like the one you are doing now) in about 21-22 hours.

Hope this helps.
