I'm sure more people would sign up for this if they knew about it.

Another group (newz.dk, team number 34688) were moving along at a rate lower than our group, in fact we had passed them. They were getting just under 1000 points per day. But they did something a few days ago and they now have over 800 processors and are now getting just short of 20000 points per day, and rising!

I feel sure that if more of our users knew about Folding@Home they would happily take it up. We need a link ON THE FRONT PAGE - something as simple as that could bring in loads of new participants.

Yes well done lynx congratulations ...erm what was the team number again?

ok i came back from school early....toaday turn over day...so u could skip classes so i came early...

ok ill expain gromacs

There are 2 cores (FAHCore_78.exe and FAHCore_65.exe) you can check which core you are running by pushing CTRL+ALT+DELETE...

CORE_78 is gromacs the new fast one...
CORE_65 is the slow one

most of you probably have core_65 so u want it to be core_78

Method:
Either make a shorcut or use the startup shortcut (which is already there) from "winFAH.exe" which is probably in your "folding@home directory" (in program files)

now go to your shortcut and RIGHT CLICK>PROPERTIES then change this:
add -advmethods -forceasm at the end of the target after the (")
just copy and paste this.... "C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winFAH.exe" -advmethods -forceasm (if ur using the default directory..)

PIC:

it should look something like tht

then click ok and when the WU ur working on right now is done the "winfah.exe" will AUTOMATICALLY download the new core_78 and you will be folding gromacs in ur next project
u can check ur LOG file to see if it is using the gromacs are not at the beginng of a project..
but sometimes you dont always get gromacs....so then u will get the use the old core...

remember the old core projects are usually out of 400..

but you will see a big difference in the folding speed with the gromacs for sure

i hope this explains it well....
if u still have questions feel free to ask...
