Just joined F@H

Hi guys,

Just today i installed boinc and thought it was quite cool, then i saw that everyone is doing F@H here so i thought i would join that.

Well i have it running but it is only using 25% of my cpu (see screenie). Is this normal?

Also is there a way to get it working through bonic as it has a lot more configuration options?

Cheers

You are running a single-core application on a quad-core CPU. If you check your task manager one of your cores should be at full. [100% of a quarter is 25%].

You may want to run the SMP client as it will give you much higher output. See my guide here for the Windows SMP client: http://smp.aeternum.co.uk/guide/8

Welcome

Yip try the Windows SMP client for some quad-core goodness.

Is there no way of getting it to work on boinc?

I think there is a Folding@Home boinc module or whatever. It is only the standard client as far as I am aware. So basically absolutely no change from what you have now.

There is/was a beta client running under boinc, not sure if it still is but as SB says it's only the basic one which makes the work dull as dishwater

What exactly are you wanting to configure that you can't with the main F@H clients? Or is it more the ease of configuring that a GUI gives?
