New A3 core (2.22)

This came out on 20th apparently, and there are rumours of increased PPD over at http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=14999. I don't know if there's any truth to them yet though.

In other news, I really should enable automatic restart after BSoD. Had one yesterday lunchtime and didn't get back til today

presumably temperature related, given the timing. Gotta keep an eye on things

Crashes on my 32bit XP box

It seems to be working as expected on mine (7, x64) but I'm not seeing any increase in PPD. I changed it just after I'd started doing a WU though so it's possible effects may be seen come the next WU *hopes*. Won't know for hours though as it's a P6701

Gonna try it on various boxes at home. Could be an XP 32bit bug or something else entirely!

I started a fresh unit yesterday and it hasn't downloaded a new version of the core, or at least HFM isnt reporting a new version

I've got a dammed P6701 as well, even with my new quad they're taking me 22 hours to fold, however 4k ppd is a lot nicer than 1.5k on them. Best I've had was P6025 with 6.9ppd

You have to stop processing, rename FahCore_a3.exe to FahCore_a3.exe.old then start Folding and it will download the new core.

Thanks for that biffa, will let you know if I see any improvements

Seems about 30 seconds per frame faster.
