At least the Quad Core Q9xxx processors use the same LGA 775 socket as the Q6600, an upgrade there should be possible for under $50.

Yes. I don't know if it should be considered a bug or a feature, but usually the Finish status setting will complete any WUs queued for a folding slot and then stop. However it does keep the slot from downloading additional WUs until the next time the slot is unpaused. It has been too long since I d...

By default the v7 client downloads a WU when a current WU reaches 99% completion. That can be configured to a value between 90% and 100%. There are some corner error conditions that can result in a WU being downloaded otherwise with a WU being processed by the slot at less than 90% done. In this cas...

At one time an older version of the stats page stated personal stats were ranked excluding "Anonymous" and something else I don't recall. Just Anonymous will account for part of the difference as there are 6 different entries for various teams including the default team 0. The other stats ...

Some research has gone into looking for "pockets" where drugs potentially could attach and prevent misfolding or keep a virus from properly folding and penetrating a cell wall. An example of the second would be research into the COVID "spike". As for possible, it depends on a res...

This most likely will not happen. They did run an app provided through SONY for their Android phones a few years ago, that ended when SONY stopped support. The code was made open source and the people running F@h said at the time they would consider looking at possibly supporting a client in the fut...

The v8 Public Beta fully supports Apple Silicon, both the client and CPU folding cores have been compiled o use the Apple native machine code. The rest of the features only would possibly be useful for the GPU folding. But GPU folding is not supported on any macOS system at this point. How well the ...

Someday -- maybe. But not soon, support could require updating the software tools used to include Metal support.

Old links in the forum were broken when it was transferred to a new host and to a new version of the forum software in April '22. That "viewtopic" is a partial link that should be https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=33296. Any of the partial links can be appended to https://f...

No, it does not have to be your username as I stated above. That has never been a requirement, and people keep putting that it is a requirement are repeating a bit of misinformation someone posted years ago. There is no registry that ties usernames and passkeys beyond the database that ensures there...

Welcome to the folding support forum. Where did you get that 20-digit passkey? They have always been 32 character hexadecimals, I am still using the one I got over a dozen years ago and it is exactly that. If you are confusing the use of a passkey with setting a password for FAHControl to access rem...

Yes, the basic search provided with the phpBB code is limited. On the previous host running an older version of the phpBB software a prior admin had added Google search as an option, but that did not carry over to the current host and version of the software. Currently I have most of the admin acces...

For the log file FAHClient defaults to entering the date as a timestamp every few hours. This is probably from the same setting. It has been a while since I checked the default, but I think it is every 6 hours, and it makes it a bit easier to determine when a WU was processed in a longer log. Throug...

I would like to see this core updated/fixed for Windows 7. The client and cores are still 32 bit so I'm not sure what the actual issue is. This is not going to happen. MS ended Windows 7 support over 3 years ago and even the extended security updates ended January of this year. F@h can't single han...

Surely they should base future WU's based on what the hardware has managed in the past. A quick speed test of the machine the first time it connects to folding@home would suffice. That would require keeping statistical data of tens of thousands different systems and an increase in complexity to the...
