|  Folding on a downward slope Our folding progress seems to be slowing a bit  - its showing a bit of a downward slope hereWe've just had 5 members of the team become active again, so hopefully that will make a difference, but 65 are inactive at the moment. Anyone else going to join us, or re-activate their folding efforts?

| Re: Folding on a downward slope I won't be folding again. It slowed my computer down and heated my room like a radiator. Best thing I did was turn folding off.

| Re: Folding on a downward slope Still running flat out, strange as none of the three pc's at home are affected by performance issues, including my HTPC that uses a lot of CPU power itself when viewing TV. they get hot but thats it.

| Re: Folding on a downward slope My PC has stopped folding as it can't communicate with the FAH server. I even deleted my folding in services, and started a new folder with the exe file, and it cranked off and also couldn't communicate. Well odd, but since this time I've not been folding either. Bit disappointing really and i don't know how to get around it.

| Re: Folding on a downward slope I've had major issues communicating with the FAH server then also had to remove 4 cores to do some real work.

| Re: Folding on a downward slope Two of mine are doing units with 20,000 frames/bits/whatever. It's taking some time! Talking of folding - does anyone know how it handles dual CPUs? Does it use both or do you have ot do something clever? I ought to read the instructions really!

| Re: Folding on a downward slope You have to do something clever to get both cpus going. Details are on here somewhere, but basically you need to use the console client and not the graphical one.

| Re: Folding on a downward slope Yeah Rob, to run on multiple CPU's you run two console apps and no graphical clients. Before you set them running you need install each client in its own directory (eg folding, folding2, folding3 etc) You also need to configure each client so the machine ID is different on a single machine. (Now a bit off topic) Also how are you finding the aero wipers, finding mine are great in the downpours that have been around over here recently Hope that helps.

As for the wipers - well worth doing I think. They're rather good and look ace ! The local dealr couldn't understand why I'd replace my wipers and arms unless someone had nicked them!!

| Re: Folding on a downward slope Mine's dropped way off. Left my PC ticking over whilst away in Bristol during the past 2 weeks, and it seems to have crashed after just one day.... Plus its working on some unit which is taking about 2 hours to do 1%..... Shocking. So, despite me being greyed out on the overclocking scores, it's still going.... slowly.
