Too slow to fold?
Hi guys
After what feels like months of having my spare computers being cannibalised for parts and not being dedicated to folding, I finally have a system set up for a steady fold. With all this talk of Dual Core / HT optimisation for the folding client, I wondered whether this lowly Celeron 800 would be up to the task? For instance, running on Ubuntu, it's currently working on a protein with 400 steps, and is taking an average of 20 minutes to complete each step. Obviously, I personally am in no hurry, but I wondered if these individual proteins had deadlines after which the info submitted would become useless? Thanks, Freakitchen

Yes it will fold, just not as quickly as the newer chips. You should be able to folding regular units within their deadline on that but might get more ppd from tt (timeless tinkers). I am currently working with and testing a client that will only get the 241 point tinkers and is designed to work with systems with less than 512mb. Running this client a user can get more ppd with their sower machines.
Whenever its finished I'll post a link on here for it. Until then I would just set it up to run timeless tinkers. I have a 500mhz celly running them right now.

I agree with Eric. I'm running some oldies too. A PII 266, a PIII 850 and an AMD Athlon 900. They're all running on Win2K with 256Mb of memory. I'm still running the Graphical client on them with the Deadlineless setting.

Thanks for the info guys. I've now set my client to request deadline-less WUs, hope it works!

I had a PII 400mz. that ran the client and regular WU and it would take about a week to do. Never had a WU go past a deadline.
