March Folding Contest: XFX GeForce 6600 PCI Express GPU

Make sure you shut it down (not paused) prior to starting BF2 - it will cause it to crash or quit to desktop. I believe it's set to 100% by default.

is there also a way to have it set where when the cpu is idle it will run 100%. but when there is activity it will hault or reduce automatically?

and still have the sys tray icon question

How do I fold for two teams at once? I do MaxPC but would do LR too if this is possible without owning my CPU....

there is no easy way on a single core CPU or if you only have one PC. you can create two client.cfg files one with LR one MaxPC and switch them every WU if you wanted to.

If you have more than one PC folding then you can set one of your other PC's to fold for MaxPC and set your rig to fold for LR.

well considering i said i wouldnt fold, i guess i can start because i am in need of a video card

ive got a BFG 5200 OC PCI card here, and its doing no justice to my 650 and P5WD2-P

**HINT** If you want to increase your odds of winning, get friends to fold under your name

Did any of them actually finish a work unit yet? Some work unit can take DAYS to finish.

Since I also fold for MaxPC, how would I do that?

do you have more than one computer?

if you do set the team number in the config.cfg file to 38296 on 1/2 of the computers and leave the other half the same.

If you only have one computer... its realy too much work and i would either stick with maxpc or legitreviews.

Yeah, so far I only have 1 pc folding. My dad's pc always restarts WUs right in the middle...
