question for you guys. what are you running your 'puters at ? i mean i let my main go most of the day yesterday and i saw that my cpu usage was maxed out at 100%. should i maybe be dialing that back some? right now i left everything at the default setting. what are some of your recommendations? thnx

I'd leave it at 100% unless you find that's not working right for you (problems with other apps, CPU temps too high, etc...).

and apparently there are bonus points awarded for lowest energy structure also

What's the main reason for doing this over FAH? Just curious...

Similar to Stanford's F@H, Berkeley's software is much easier to set-up and use, plus you can choose which projects to run. Project Rosetta's goals are similar to F@H, and a few of us kept having WU issues with F@H.

It's a stable platform. Much more stable... and no WU problems.

srry Unklmo for the late reply but i also set mine at 100% cpu usage Unlike FaH I find I can run this client and do most anything BUT high end gaming and thats easily overcome as the BOINC client has a freakin pause button :) which I love We've topped out at 98 so unless we gain some more recruits this is where we're stayin which isnt too bad considering we have 9 folders atm and we're just a couple places back of team Australias OC club and my old Overclockersclub.com another great thing about BOINC over FaH is that you still get points if the WU fails for any reason and you can divide your cpu usage between different projects so you could fold for Rosetta, Einstein, Seti, or any number of projects at once

Mine hasn't been folding the last couple of days as I'm in Moncton buying a house, and my wife mucked it up trying to get E-mail up and running.

Hmmm... This is intriguing...perhaps I should convert to BOINC...I have both my systems folding 24/7 for F@H right now. A Q6700 and QX9650. Can it be run as a service? On the "family" rig (where I put the Q6700) I run F@H as a service so even when my brother reboots it just starts right back up and I don't have to do anything.

Yes, BOINC has that option to run as a Service. Never tried it myself though.

It works well for me, starts up automatically on boot.

I'm really liking this BIONC- I can't beleive tha Stanford is so far behind on user friendliness. I'm only able to fold when I'm home on weekends, but it's so stable and even works on dialup connection without a problem.

yes I have my wifes pc on service so it starts automatically and I've shown her how to pause it when she plays Oblivion lol funny thing is she forgot to pause it yesterday and ran Oblivion without a hitch on the E6300 while folding

is there a way i can login, load and connect to Boinc as soon as my pc boots? or do i have to continually login and attach to a project each time. atm, i'm running it when i'm on the pc, or nearby. not running 24/7? sorry, i just read the above replies. so how do i set it up as a service and autoconnect to a project?
