Heya, just started folding for OcUK, and moved from running the GUI client to two colsole clients, and it all seems ot be going well. But In the thread I posted in to say hi, I was told that for my E6600, it would be better if I used the WinSMP client. I checked on the F@H download page, and can only see SMP clients for Linux and OSX. Can someone point me towards the windows one, and how do I set it up? Thanks!
 
Thanks, setting it all up now. Do I need to set it up twice as well, or is it dual core ready already?

Edit: I'm doing something wrong, as its starting in a window, not being hidden :(

Start.bat:
Code:
start cmdow.exe /RUN smp.bat

smp.bat:
Code:
@echo off
echo Starting FAH for the first time
echo -------------------------------
echo.
"C:\folding\fah.exe" -oneunit -verbosity 9 -local
:restart
echo.
echo Restarting FAH
echo -------------------------------
echo.
"C:\folding\fah.exe" -oneunit -verbosity 9 -local
goto restart

Well, the site I was linked to reccomended the use of that smp.bat file to prevent it crashing, or something.
Either way, that WinBoss program has done the job very nicely. Thanks.
 
Managed to get from 1200 PPD to 400 by spending the last couple of hours playing Neverwinter Nights 2. ETA sometime on the 9th :D
 
8pm on the 7th. But now it had the chance to use 100% CPU overnight, its looking at 3pm tomorrow, 975PPD. Huzzah.
 
Single client, CPU is only stock (2.4Ghz). I've gott a thread in the OC forum, but I bluescreen if I try and change the clock speed :/
 
Thanks for your help. Going back to folding, to run the F@H at startup, I'm just coing have to stick a shortcut to the bat file in the startup folder, aren't I? Also, when I started it up today once I'd finished my clocking, its been giving me a lot of text/errors it hadn't before.

Errors start from: Opening Log file [May 6 14:40:27]

Edit: Oh **** it. its deleded my 91% done WU and started on another x_x
 
Better late than never ;)

1% done, looking forward to seeing what my new PPD is. Should be a bit more than the 1000 I had before the OC.
 
It went for one hour fine, tried to push it further, failed, and now its back folding on the same config that went 1 hour fine. Huzzah
