I just emailed CUDA @ NAVIDA to ask about downloading cuda to my PC to see if it would be compatible with NAVIDA Ge Force 6150SE nForce430, but I don't think it will

No it will no do it, so I bought a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT 1GB PCI-E card last night on ebay. It should help, I have moved up from 37 th. to 35 th. place in the team and all most finished another WU. You guys have been a great help to this old gray headed Veteran and I want to thank all of you!

Well, Harry, if you can bring that PS3 online, you'll post nice results, and not have to worry about your computer, so much.

[harry 48]

will do

i found out twice if you have to shut down your pc by the power button on the tower you loose all your

folding so last night i had to close down by the tower but instead i  closed by the wall switch started up

again and lost no folding

I would fold but my PC is so slow and folding makes it pretty much unusable. I will fold when I get a new PC or a PS3. If I get a new PC I will dedicate my current server to Folding.

i am not sure if thats a good idea
just for a few folding points
i think it can damage hdd
because when you shutdown with the powerswitch it gives to hdd a heads up
to park the head

Turning off the wall switch is pretty much the same as pulling the power cord from the wall....careful harry.

[harry 48]

thanks for the advice BUT i have been doing it for five years it will do no harm

UNLESS  you know different , tell me , or tell me how to close down when everything is frozen solid

i'm trying to save my folding which i have done

Ok, carry on.

Any way you slice it, it takes time.  I'm sure that if you don't let your computer fold for a good portion of the day, you will run into problems making the deadlines.  I just let it run.  I'm used to leaving my computer on overnight for downloading torrents, so if I can help battle some diseases at the same time, why not? 

i cant do any F@H while doing anything else
especally C compileing
if i tried to do F@H while C compileing
i would have a thermal shutdown
and lose F@H progress and compiling progress at the same time
and that would get me mad
