His dual core machine folds like a maniac, drastic measures are needed so decided on this baby AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+ (Socket 939) - Retail (ADA4800CDBOX) (CP-129-AM) , to give me a little daylight. Should arrive Saturday.

Adding another dual core lappy tomorrow as well, gonna need to find a few more borgs SiriusB my old mucka.

the chip in my sig, which is a great chip but not a patch on some dual core goodness.

....although the SD will go in another rig I have that my kids use, and yes, will still happily crunch away 24/7 as we rarely switch off anything in this house.

Are you using the GUI client or command line for the lappy?

Console version. Not tried the GUI version. I wasn't going to because it would seem my laptop has zero temperature monitoring capability for the CPU.

Not sure I want to risk my lappy overheating!

Set your lappy to run at 80% and you should not have a problem with the GUI

I've found the GUI runs better on laptops for some reason and my centrino always seems to get 350 - 400 pointers, they do take a few days to complete mind.
