The SMP beta for Intel Macs had a similar problem with some pesky WUs. I found that if I canceled Folding at a point before the Cores exploded, then restarted them, they actually made it through the blow-up point. Now, I don't offer any kind of guarantee that this will work on the Windows version, but you might give it a try. The key is the WU failing at the exact same point. Causes could be stack corruption that finally pushes the Cores over the top at the same point every time. Starting at a point closer to the problem may mean the stack is cleaner, and the Cores can Fold through the problem area.

That's my theory, anyways...

Hey SamPatterson, welcome to the 100K club! I guess I lose my great parking spot now!

I see the Team passed 3,400 Work Units completed! That's mighty impressive.

Well 2651 finished no issues so was a bad WU i think. Doing another 2610 so that will take a couple of days. Added my sons machine running the command line client so that will do some smaller WU's as he spends hours gaming on world of warcraft.!

Since I'm doing my first WU, is 4000000 parts normal for every WU?

**SatinKzo** · 06-07-2007 11:35 AM

I get all sorts of WU's. anywhere from 250-20000000

**cybok0** · 06-07-2007 12:35 PM

Thanks.

Anyway to get more points per work unit? I am averaging 144.86 per unit.
I guess they don't feel the love for AMD

**SatinKzo** · 06-07-2007 02:12 PM

I get lots of love for my AMD's. Dependent on a few variables of your machine. What is your full system setup specs? Do you have it configured to get Big WU's or Advanced ones?

On another note, I'm back to complete WU's backing up again and on top of that, it's taking me forever to get new WU's assigned. Lots of downtime today for me while I wait for for new WU's.

I just bumped up to the larger WU's, am somewhat apprehensive on the advanced ones .. My issue is that it only uses 50% of CPU power, its like its only looking at one of the 2 cores, if it would go all out, it could crank the WUs out on my system.

Athlon 64x2 5000
2 GB DDR-2 Ram

and later this summer when i put a decent Vid card in it, this little doggie should fly.

Suggestions on what i should do to maximize usage?
