This 54 points will really give us that final push

 

lol, it's changed since then http://puu.sh/8n9Tr.png (left it as link for those with slow internet)

 

lol yeah, my ppd started really low, and it has worked its way up to what *seems* like the actual ppd of my hardware

Do you not have a GPU? I mean, for most stuff like internet browsing and watching videos I leave my CPU and GPU at max. I turn it off completely whenever I play a game or something.

 

With new drivers WUs bounce between normal 104k and 42k. :\

He is running an i5 3330 with HD 2500 graphics. (His sig. )

 

i attemted to get my gpu running, it just says it doesn't exist, lol (even with auto detect)

 

You can't fold on integrated GPUs..

 

you can actually, just 1 or 2 pages before this there are people doing so (with apu gpu's, but it's still integrated by definition) just not with intel clearly (or at least not ones as old as mine)

 

Intel HD series do not support OpenCL which is utilised for folding. The Radeon cores within the APU's do support OpenCL. Thats all it comes down to in the end.

I think Intel Iris has OpenCL

 

mmm, still doesn't change anything, igpu's can be folded with, just not intels (all hati said was that igpu's can't be folded with)

 

I just installed F@H on my old laptop ... specs so you get the scale here...its from 1999 --> Pentium 3 @ 650MHz, 512MB ram @ 100MHz, Graphics are S3 Savage IX, Win XP SP2 Its brand: MicronPC (out of business since 2004), model Transport GX+.

I was planning on having this run 24/7, but after starting the program I'm getting error messages...it does have access to the internet (through a PCMCIA Wireless N adapter), I can browse webpages, etc.....
I get these error messages...

If anybody has any insights on why this isn't working, that would be really helpful.

 

There are no wus that old. Once a project gets too old they phase out the work units for it, and there are none left that will run on that.

 

oh...so i guess theres no hope for folding on my laptop?

 

Nope. I'm surprised it runs XP ok. Keep it though, PIIIs are getting rare.

 

I think it originally came with Win. 95, updated to XP Pro...
It actually runs really well for being so crappy, in fact I'd use it more if the power cable didn't have shorts in it and the battery worked.
Finally replaced it around christmas with my desktop, which is a MASSIVE improvement, now i can do pretty much anything.

hmmm, that page says my gpu supports openCL 1.2, i wonder what could be causing it not to work for folding (as amd igpus work fine)

 

Its performance folding if it somehow worked is going to be more or less the same as a 5450, which is abysmal. No point.
