Just thought it would be interesting to know how long everyone keeps their computer on each day. My computers ususally on for about 12 hours a day as i leaveit on when i go to uni and work, so folding at home does a fair bit. |

You know precisely how long I leave mine running, Authur! 
And what happened to never posting on the site again?
Anyways, for the benefit of this thread, the length of time I have it run for varies really, depending on if my sister goes on the computer or not - she always turns it off. 
I've "only" had folding@home running for 5 hours today, although I had it running all yesterday and the day before. So that means my current range is anything between 5 and 24 hours a day. |

Dual Athlon 2400+ MP system: 24-7 Athlon X2 3800+ @2.6ghz system: about 19-20hrs avg / day (due to actually using it) Computers are never physically off, except for a fast reboot.. |

Well I haven't got a clue what any of that stuff means, Ringold. 
You know more about my computer than me though. Will it help me in any way?

Dont try it, Trekboy. They'll be fighting for the same cache and access to RAM, so it'll degrade performance all around, for you the end user and for the clients. Unless you've got a hyperthreading p4, in which case, with good RAM (512 or more), you might eek out a slight boost in ppd, at the cost of extra ram being consumed. Also, HD doesn't matter much, it initially loads in to RAM and then records its progress about once every 15min (or if you have a console, however long a period as you select). Just can't be in the same folder, and with more than one running, -local flags need to be called either on the service entry or on the shortcut you use to launch it. Otherwise, they start fighting for registry access, if I understand what the -local flag does exactly.. I just know running without it with multiple clients causes problems. |
