Just a few questions

Post by Jacobjacobjacob! »

Okay. So I've recently got into F@H, and want to start earning big. I just have a few questions. I understand the concept of protein folding, and have got my client (NACL Chrome Client) folding fine. I just have a few questions:

1) I'm only getting 125p WU's. Each WU only counts for 125p's, and I'm assuming this is because I'm running the NACL Chrome client, but are there any bigger work units to anyones knowledge or do you just get these small ones?

2) I bet its an age old question, but are there any simple ways I can make my computer fold faster? I leave it on medium when I'm using it normally and full if I'm afk, or just decide to leave it on to fold. Are there any other methods of making it fold faster?

3) How can I get my F@H in my signature for the F@H forum?

4) I'm looking for a good small but active team to join, or to co-create. Are there any such teams out there, or someone interested in starting one?

Thank you :P

Ad 1) if you install the full client on your PC (see: the Software in the Forum Header) you get a much bigger selection of projects to work on, many of them utilize you graphics card (GPU) yielding higher points. It require a nVidia or AMD Graphic chip (as newer as better). If you only want folding with CPU the NaCL is not a bad thing.

Ad 2) have at less as possible other software running at the same time; else upgrade the hardware ;-)

Ad 3) you can change your signature via User control panel -> Profile -> Edit Signiture Many here using the graphics provided by Extreme Overclocking (EOC) -stats site. See link above, Go there, get your personlied link and copy that I it your sig. What is your donor ID ?

Ad 4) we are not allowed to talk about or suggest teams. You can go into the statistics (again see links above) and look for active teams fitting your requirements)

Ok, as per FAQ from EOC site (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/?nav=FAQ ) you still need to wait a bit to show up in the stats and getting a sig.

In order to show up as an individual in the Extreme Overclocking stats, you have been folding for a while or belong to a tteam that is ranked at 800 or better or 1200 and moving up quickly.

Here is a link to the FAQ:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/?nav=FAQ

You can look at the team rankings on the site to identify an active team (ie producing points every day) that is near or at the threshold.

If you need more help, you can drop me a PM
