Bummer, looks like work doesn't want me running FAH on the server anymore. Oh well... was good while it lasted.
Ah Phooey!
Those were pretty good points while it lasted.
The HP workstation with the beta 7 software seems pretty stable. The old HP PC with the ATI HD3750 card has been getting VPU errors lately, so I have to keep an eye on it. It had been pretty rock-solid for months and now in the last week I've had to reboot it four times. As a result, my points production has been erratic...
Just a quick heads up. V 7.1.33 of the FAH client (beta) is out. Notes and a download link at Folding Forum • View topic - FAHClient V7.1.33 released (3rd Open-Beta) . Loaded without a hitch and is running smoothly for me on two machines.
Just DL to one of my boxes. Now says my Core 2 Duo E8500 is getting over 2500 ppd instead of around 600-700. Apparently it fixed an inaccurate credit reporting issue.
I had upgraded to FAHClient V7 .1.33 and was having issues with the completed work units be recorded. So I uninstalled the 7.1.33 and installed the 7.1.34. That cleared out the old WU's and production has really picked up. When you install the new FAHClient, make sure and add the advanced option to the GPU and bigadv option to the SMP. Instructions are here, go to configure.
Pretty quiet here in the Folding Forum. My Mac Pro has been facing a shortage of WUs lately, and then I picked up the Beast of WUs and I couldn't get 1% done in over 36 hours of Folding. I posted it up to the FoldingForum, but now I'm back to being out of Work (Units).
Just upgraded to v7 beta4. This time the installer recommended GPU+SMP, so I'm going to give it a try... I only have a Radeon HD 5770, but it should be good enough.
The monster WU came back again, so I went ahead and upgraded to Lion since my Mac Pro wasn't doing anything (useful) anyway.
After I got Lionized, I was able download a more crunchable WU. My Mac is back to productive Folding.

I haven't been able to get any A5 core WUs since the 8th. Anyone else having troubles getting bigadv WUs?
I just got a monster A5. So I guess they are back online. Looks like this one will take me just under 4 days to complete on my i7-2600! I'm sure my points will be down the next few days until this one finishes...

Doh! Looks like that bigadv WU didn't finish by the preferred deadline, so no bonus. Oh well, I'll probably turn off bigadv with the changes coming anyways. As of Jan 2012, they want only 16 core CPUs to fold the bigadv WUs. My i7 (4-core / 8 virtual core) won't cut it.
I guess running the GPU slowed down the bigadv just enough that it missed the bonus deadline...
