Hi guys,
I'm just trying it, but I cant make the affinity's in XP Task Manager work.
Do I just turn one of them off (end process)? So I can have a core for my Radeon?

I'm going back to Radeon folding![]()

Are you running the specific SMP client or trying to run individual clients on each core? if it's the former, it sorts itself out, it's what I'm running.
It does generate a shed load of heat though, as you have found! The results are well worth it though, in terms of what it will chew through (one frame every 9 minutes on my PC at the moment).
Cheers,
Stephen

How do I set the Max CPU useage. It's not a console version, this SMP one, so it's just a C:\ screen.
On the GPU one I know how to do it.

go through the normal stages, but do "yes" to advanced options. Leave the priority on idle and the next option is CPU usage. Set that to 95%. I would also say yes to scientific cores and/or work units if available, you get more points for those.

mine run's flat out as standard
Tell you waht thuogh....you NEED to leave it to properly start and be on 0% before going near the GPU client start up.
Or they conflict like Rangers and Celtic

Mines on 50% max, I have a c2d E6850 and 50% just isnt enuf. I cant seem to find out how to setup it up again and I dont want to delete the F@H folder and reload it cos Im scared of loosing all the work units. I have F@H 5.04 if that helps, I just need to know how to change the setup pls
Did you download the SMP version, or the regular client?
I'm running 5.91 which you can download here: http://www.stanford.edu/~kasson/fold...P%20Client.EXE
Also, see the Wiki for install instructions fir vista and XP: http://fahwiki.net/index.php/How_do_...ndows_Vista%3F

I downloaded the 'no nonsense text only console' ver5.04, I see most ppl are using the SMP Client ver5.91 Beta. Looks like I made the wrong choice there. If I install the SMP Client will I loose my work units?
I have no idea to me honest.
For SMP you need to SMP client, no other way to do it as far as i know.
Unless you make another installation and lanch another client manually. I guess that would work.
