InvaderTrax Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 I'm building up my old PII @450MHz as a folding only comp, but first, I need to know, would running a specific OS (Windows 98 or RH Linux 9) increase my folding speed?

Paranoid Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 I doubt that it would make much of a difference which one you use. I would stick to Windows, as I am more familiar with it, but it depends. Do you know how to use Red Hat Linux, or would this be your first time using it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 No, I've used Linux in the past, as well as other Unix based OS's, so I'm pretty well set as to experience. And it's not like I'll be doing much work. I'll just set up folding, turn off the monitor and let it run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 Then go with linux. Less chance of getting a virus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propane Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 actually windows is faster for folding <_< <--- a lot of smilies its faster because of the 3D Now/ SSE boos it provides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 I thought that Linux supported those as well as Windows. I don't really know much about Linux though. 7:43PM EST - 100th post in the last 24 hours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
