Don't think that's a good idea. No good on the server as that has to stay responsive so must limit that the 3 of 4 cores, and even that might be pushing it seeing how flakey it is. AS for the workstations, again I want them to be responsive, and most don't have a load of RAM going spare, despite the CPUs being up to it.

You could set the clients on the workstation machines to do WUs smaller than 5mb, this would limit the machines to WUs with smaller RAM requirements. The PPD may go down, but work is still being done at a minimal cost of performance.

I mean running them consectutively not in parrallel

If internet connection is a problem (like I have at home with dial up) set up multiple (or up to 8) clients on each PC, when one finishes (or nearly finishes) set the next one going.
If your net connection is linked too you remotely accessing the PC's then this wouldn't really help, you could manually do it, but that's hassle.
Its advisable to only run three clients on a duel xeon server max (two if it's flakey or frequently used)

Damn thing keeps giving me 773 units which are worth 44 points giving me a PPD of about 100 
Stop using -advmethods and you may get a 600 pointer insteaddivine_madness said:Damn thing keeps giving me 773 units which are worth 44 points giving me a PPD of about 100

Yeah, get rid of advmethods! Ever since I did that several weeks ago I would say at least 2/3 of the WUs I have been getting are 600 pointers
