Okay, so I know I'm a little late and it looks like it'll take me until Sept. 30 to finish my first work unit, but I'm in!! You guys just made it look so fun!

hmm.. maybe i should put a prominent link to this somewhere...

That's probably just the initial estimate. The estimates when you first start the program are always screwy. Just wait about 30 min for the more accurate one.

what is a working unit? and why do some people have more working units than others?

I'm getting too old....

A Work Unit (WU) is the finished product of time spent running Folding@Home. These are the final proteins that you fold. Frames make up WU. Each WU can have different frames, ranging from somewhere around 300-5000 frames (on average). Frames are different for each WU, with some taking from 30 secs to 3 min.

Since WUs are the finish products, people who have more WU just ran the this program longer and have contributed more to the community.

At this point, I'm pretty sure my comp stinks. I just got to 25%.
Okay, I'm over it.

i thought it didnt work. but boooom i finished my first one and got 745 points for it...!!
and znoooop im in the list too now.
and the 2nd is going faster..

That's why I said some WU are larger than others. The larger ones of course give more points since they take more time~

I FINALLY finished my first WU! I hope Folding@Home actually recieved the data, though. I still have 'none' completed on the site. I did get a new WU, and as Lambchopsil said, its much smaller, only 1250 frames. The last one was 5000 frames. This new one is called: p3850 fkbprelative_ligand Core 7b

I have a lot of encoding to get through atm so the amount of work units i contribute is going to take a bit of a hit. Should be sorted in a few days.

I saw this in one of ps3 site. they said you can put this in your ps3 then it will contribute data.

or am i wrong?

You should definitely be running this on your PS3. That thing is such a waste of hardware, that doing something like this almost redeems it.

Life is tough......but it's tougher if you're stupid.

Anyone knows, if it's possible to restore my username after reinstalling folding@home? I'm sooo kicking out winXP.

I would like my username to remain as it is. Still haven't got back into the top 20 I was before my 3 weeks of vacation
There's nothing about it in FAQ, so I'm bothering you, sorry.

Still the bad cop.

i reinstalled the folding@home and i am using my username, but it does not show how many WU's i have finished. it's working on one WU since i reistalled it and i hope it will show things right, when i finish it

________________
whatever

You have to use the EXACT username that the F@H database has you down as (easy enough for you with "Indreju"). The F@H database will continue to add WU based on the username, but YOUR computer will not have the same number. Your computer will show how many WU were completed on that computer, not on that username.
