Im really looking forward to the OSX-Intel client, i hate having to switch the Macpro over to WinXP to set it folding, but im too lazy to bother signing up for the Betateam... suppose ill just wait until the client gets rolled out properly.
They've finally thrown a bone to we OSX and Linux users. I'll have to get it up and running on that shiny new iMac as soon as I can.
Let me reiterate,
!
Possibly. It's yet to be seen.joeyjojo said:

Apparently it prefers Mac Pros right now, but they're working on it.
When they're done, my Mac Mini will be going back to OSX for a while. I'll have to offload the Windows stuff I've dumped on it in the meanwhile, but that'll take no more than a day or two anyway.
Oh, and I got my FCF account back.

Right, I've got the client loaded and running on my laptop. According to stanford, the beta is designed primarily for quad core systems, but it is running just fine on my dual core. There are a few issues with the beta, but nothing major.
It's racing through the first WU too ... hope it gives a nice ppd.
What programs do people use to monitor their clients on macs?
Getting my laptop pretty hot though - 83C on both cores. I have little experience of a) macs, b) laptops and c) intel chips, but this seems a little toasty to me (!), should I stop it until a client comes out that allows control of the CPU usage?

That should do just fine.mikeymike said:
Mr. Other, though that is quite toasty Apple is well known for laughing off the thermal specifications of their chip manufacturers. I suppose since it's taking care of its own thermal management and it's under warranty there's no harm in it. It's running as it is programmed to do so.
I doubt that they'll insert CPU percentage control for Mac/Linux clients any time soon.

Currently folding on all 4 cores, it looks like its going to take about 24hours to finish this 1 WU... going off the first few frames anyway 1.5mins each(500/500000). Any way of knowing what the current WU is? ive got 2604 and there doesnt seem to be any info about it on the the stats site.

It's worth 1210 points. Holy wotsit. 
Mind you, if it takes all four cores to do that, then I guess that's fair.

Aye, im hoping for good things, under XP i was getting between 150PPD/core on most WUs and 450PPD/core on 600pointers. So hopefully 300PPD/core is pretty damn good if this is an average SMP WU. Im 1/40th of the way thru now and still on target to finish it within 24hour.
