    This human genome project sounds great , but I myself and doing one that I feel would help more.
    Its to try and cure cancer and a few other nasties.

    ws2_32.dll is missing. Please???
    If things were easy, users might be programmers.

    Get the Winsock2 update from Microsoft's site. Are you still on Win95?

    Good man - now we will show them REAL computing

    Well . . how long does your ZX-80 take to respond to a keypress - instantanious I bet (<<200ms). How long do my Windows 2000 1.2 GHz K7s with 512MB ram take (clocking about 1.6 GigaFlOPs)- about 7 seconds at times - exactly the same as the Windows 95 K6/2 380s that they replaced . . .

    When it finished 30 itterations, it connects to the server to get more work to do. At the same time it uploads the fact you have done some work already I think.

    This is done by having each person participating install a small program on their computer that runs when their computer is idle. It is always running in the background, but does not use any CPU or memory unless there is some to spare, so it won't interfere with your normal computer usage.
    Is that actually true !!! It seems to me its working in the background all the time, may be i am wrong. But who cares , i just want to finish creating atleast one protein

    Did anyone finish the 30 by now???

    BTW: is it just me or that thing takes a lot of swap space??? before I had it, my swap file was about 100MB, now it's 255-300MB!!!

    Well, It was taking too long to calculate, so I've souped it up. I'm over clocking it from 1mhz to 1.1mhz.... initially cooling was a problem, so I got a couple of ice cubes from a Gin and Tonic and put them on the case and it seems to do the trick.

    Got one Gene calculated already, more to come.

    Do I have to leave the dos prompt open? It really bugs to see it in the taskbar. I like to have the task bar free of unused programs. Do you think it will hurt to have seti@home running at the same time? I've been running that for a while now.

    They say you can run SETI@home at the same time if you have enough memory, but I've gotta think that they're splitting a finite amount of processing power, therefore they will both run at half speed (assuming a 50-50 split)

    OK. I'll have it run one genome@home, then one seti@home, and go back and forth. Then I'm contributing to both and they will go at full speed. I have 256MB of RDRAM so I think that it would be enough. But the processor is only 600MHz, so I'll only do one at a time.

    Yeah I know that but thats like saying lets map out the entire planet first, so that we can figure out how to get to the local newsagents.
    It'd be quicker if we just figured out how to get to the newsagent, then tackled the globe problem.

    Also, the lack of genome knowledge isnt killing in quite the same way of cancer and the likes....

    Woohoo! We've hit the top 100 teams!

    Well done team...we've still got a little way to get to #1 though


    By the way, if you're running Win98, you can get Genome@Home to minimise to the icon tray: use Icon Corral!

    Talking yummy setup

    I should be able to churn through lots of genes. It takes one of my two identical Athlon 500mHz with 224 mb ram about 4 minutes for 10%. Now, I just have to have them both working at the same time, and we can really get some work done!

    Ah, the wonders of Windows. I had the whole thing totaled up (around 48 ghz), when it crashed and I couldn't submit it. Ah, well, I'll pick up with my list where you guys left off.
    Doesn't Parksie have more? I thought I found another 666 total in other older machines in the posts (yeah, scary total)

    If i gave you more mhz than you have, please subtract it in a post.

    +1000 (spetnik)
    +1300 (danial)
    +400 (skitchen8)
    +1.1 (surfdemon)
    +600 (midgetsbro)
    +266 (emo)
    +5000 (john (yeah all the servers i bet))
    +28322 (IUnknown) (is that for real, or just kidding?)
    +3050 (chenko)
    +2450 (chrisjk)
    +400 (ricmitch_uk)

    +6866 (previous total)
    ---------------------
    487551.1 mhz!

    (remember, if I gave you more (especially you, IUnknown, are you actually using all that power?) please subtract.)

    Keep this up!

    Let's try to get 47gHz, 24/7/365.24!
