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 :mrgreen:


Regards & Good Luck

P.S. If you ask questions I know the answer to... I can be much more helpfull..... :D

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. 8)

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...
