Does F@H play nicely with sleep (suspend-to-RAM)?

As in topic... I know I can just shut the machine down and it'll work upon restart... what about suspend-to-RAM?

Hi qviri, I used to use hibernate without any problem. The FAH client must be aware of the computer going into a hibernate state otherwise timeouts would cause WU failure.

I think suspend to RAM does a similar thing but am not sure... I don't recall hearing of any questions or advice on the subject here or over at the FAH forums so would guess it's not an issue...

Try it and let us know

Regards & Good Luck
Pete
P.S. If you ask questions I know the answer to... I can be much more helpfull.....

Thing is, I really can't. I think I'm risking enough by (planning on) running a Windows SMP client. I don't own the machine, so I'd rather clear up as many doubts as possible before asking permission.

Thanks for the info about suspend-to-disk.

You're welcome.

If you're planning on running the SMP client, it'll need to work pretty much 24/7 to meet the deadlines, and be a fair speed CPU from what I understand...
