New to Folding

[blackdat510]

Hi FAH team,
I think I have started folding with your team 98860

Hey man, welcome to the team. If you want to add a F@H signature similar to mine go to this thread:

Bear in mind that you will need at least one completed work unit.

Thanx Mate
I have about two hours before I finish my 1st complete work unit.

That's good news

What are you folding on if you don't mind me asking?

 

[blackdat510]

On a old intel LGA775 with Core Duo2 2.1Ghz with a GTX650 OC 2gb GPU.
One of my old work computers.
I'm about to do a new rig for my work/game desktop next month, so I will use the old one for F@H and for the kids to play on.
What can I do to make the old girl a better F@H rig?

You can try overclocking it. Which will give you some extra points. You could also buy a cheap graphics card (like a 460) and have it fold alongside the CPU.

After you complete 10 WU's you'll start getting bonus points. Which client are you using to fold?

 

[blackdat510]

The power supply is a 430w and I dont think a GTX460 would fit in the case.
Thats why I have a GTX650 in it.
The intel boards is locked up and no overclocking can be done.

 

[yassarikhan786]

Ah, I see. Are you using a passkey? You need one for the bonus points later on.

 

[blackdat510]

No passkey yet

 

[yassarikhan786]

Ok, you need a passkey in order to get the bonus points.

Go this website to get your pass key:

Once you have the pass key you will need to enter it into configuration page of the client you're using.

 

[blackdat510]

Passkey done
Thanx Mate.

 

[yassarikhan786]

No problems

My 7950 clocked at 1100/6000 is only getting 2980 PPD. What am I doing wrong?

AMD cards are not optimized for the Work Units I'm afraid. You need an Nvidia card for the higher points.

Aah man

Well I suppose 2900 PPD is better than 0 PPD

Yeah, very true.
