Exclamation fah-database

I have been workin on a project for the FOlding@Home project. Its a database that will include many different computer systems and how fast each system folds specific WUs. I want to have a program collect and send the info to the database, but I havn't gotten that far yet.

For now, use the basic form at www.fah-database.com/enterdata.php to enter data about your system and the WU. This is mainly just a test run, the data should be correct but if not I can clean it up. Use CPUz if you don't know something about your system.

I will also be posting in the general forum asking for help with making the program. If we have any programmers out there, I could use the help!

www.fah-database.com - Main Site
www.fah-database.com/enterdata.php - Enter Data

Comments/Questions/Suggestions, all welcome...

There was a guy on the EOC team that was doing almost the same thing a year ago, I dunno if he's still at it or not.

/*/*/ UPDATE \*\*\


I have added a lot to the site since I posted last. I started a "get ready" thread but I think the title threw people off so I'll just continue with this one. If you want to help beta test by entering some data goto www.fah-database.com/test create an account, add your systems and add your work unit times. FahMon is an easy way to collect the data and CPUz will give you your computer specs.

Please tell me any and all errors you might run into, anything you might like to be changed, or anything else! I need feedback to get this to work.

btw, I know the search doesn't work right, I'm trying to get that fixed, but its not on the top of my things-to-do list right. I have to get the work unit points table working right so that the PPD and PPD/Ghz will be correct.
