Thanks Aristide1!

I'd like to nominate Viking to the club as he is presently winning in his ppd 'war' with Bolek.

All I want is for the team to break the 100,000ppd (we're currently at 98k) so we can lose that grim light brown colour!

Thanks Seb! For info I'm an Englishman and have "just" a pair of Core2Quads :D It is a, minor, shame for me that I'll be pipped to getting to be the team's 11th millionaire but it is good to know that the team's millionaire club will have grown by 20% in just the next 2 weeks alone. The race will re...

Yeah, 2 Quads. Sorry! I made a decision that it would more efficient for me to have 2 Quads running as opposed to several Duos/X2s. The lovely little Affinity Changer has only helped improve the efficency to the next level. With regards to CPU usage a single Quad running a single SMP under XP/Vista ...

I'm glad to hear that someone else at SPCR has been able to get dual SMP's running. For info the only steps you have to do to get the dual SMPs working correctly (after installing Affinity Changer itself) is: 1 make sure that each instance has its own separate folder 2 ensure that instance one has a...

Yeah, after posting I did think that I had not made the title clear enough. Should've started 'Free F@H points..." :) 1. Not sure, but I would hope that the creator would do something to fix the 4 threads on 3 cores issue (not all of the four threads are equal anyway - just check the CPU time column...

In response to Aristide1's comment here : :shock: Hey, this info belongs over on the Folding Subject. Also - Do you know anyone else doing this. If I recall correctly some people were running SMP with P4's that have VT, but I don't have an averager PPD for them. And how many watts are you Q6600's us...

It is. Here.
However nobody seems interested in that thread
I'll try to continue this conversation over there.

I suppose it isn't really necessary but if you've got a machine that can handle the load why not simply install the program, run a second SMP client and get a free 30-40% performance boost. Saves spending money on a QX9650 etc. to get the same effect. I wonder whether Stanford would actually endorse...

Yep, the client although intended for 4 cores (so it says somewhere I believe on the F@H site) mustn't have fully utilised them. And from the Affinity Changer url How does it work? After some time interval (10 mins) utility checks, if there are 4 processes of FahCore_a1 (one FAH SMP client). If so, ...

Really? I haven't seen any difference between identical projects on different cored machines.

Per my slight hijacking of another thread here I found this little program http://distributed.org.ua/forum/index.php?showtopic=1149 which I've been testing out on XP 32 and Vista 64. So long as you have a quad core it enables you to run two simultaneous instances of F@H SMP and, somehow, the average...

Amazingly, no! I found this little program http://distributed.org.ua/forum/index.php?showtopic=1149 which I've been testing out on XP 32 and Vista 64. So long as you have a quad core it enables you to run two simultaneous instances of F@H SMP and, somehow, the average PPD increases by up to ~40%. My...

Yep, my NSK3400 (with non 80-plus 380w PSU) was more than sufficient. Also for info my current server setup with 4*500GB WD, 4*250GB Hitachi, 1*80GB Samsung and 1*40GB 2.5" Toshiba HDD along with 4*1GB DDR2 RAM, DVD-RW, G33M-DS2R with onboard VGA etc. and Q6600 @ 1.1v @ 2.66GHz uses only ~175w (peek...

With regards to PATA booting I have just successfully installed Vista Business 64 from a SATA DVD-RW drive onto a Samsung SP0812N IDE drive on my G33M-DS2R.
So PATA booting can definitely be done.

Hi, A sample of just one so far. x2 3800 @ 2.15GHz @ 1.1v dual boot WinXP and Ubuntu64 7.04 XP SMP client: Project 2609 Credit 1523 Avg Time 37m39s - PPD 582.50 Ubuntu64 SMP client: Project 2609 Credit 1523 Avg Time 33m34s - PPD 653.36 So for the exact same machine on the same project there is a ~10...

Hi, I currently have: e6300 c2d @ 2800 - WinXP_SMP (via zalman reserator2) am2-4400 @ 2700 - WinXP_SMP (thermatake ultra 120 + nexus 120) s939-x2_3800 @ 2150 - WinXP_SMP s939-x2_3800 @ 2100 - WinXP_SMP and single core @ 80% (WinXP-NON-smp) of s939 x2_3800 @ 2400 I have dabbled with vmware-ubuntu64 b...

avi_dan, minor off topic: are you personally running purely the linux smps? I'm running purely the xp smps and we seem to be trading places a lot recently on the 'leader board' and just wondered if we could clarify (for the benefit of the team of course!) whether vmware-ubuntu64-f@h is better or not...
