Please note that there are some comments re: services and re: the inf file for drivers that are in those threads, so please read them thoroughly if you plan on using these

I will let you know how it goes for me this lunch time.

The big advantage I can see is that they have released the GPU client as a console version, which you can install as a service

This means you can log your machine off and save some CPU cycles.

I haven't updated my Linux SMP clients yet, what's the easiest way of doing it?

I do indeed

Excellent, I shall do this when I get home, thanks.

But I'm only folding on one machine...

Perhaps you should show us what you've got before laying the smack down

Very nice

Should imagine you'll be pushing 15k after all that

More points for the team.

Its odd though, whilst some people have increased their output significantly, the team PPD has stayed about the same over the last month or so. I would have expected it to go up by quite a bit

Haven't really noticed to be honest, not been watching the team output trying to get my own sorted what with all these problems.

Shame I can't borg my g/f's 9800GTX

DO EET NOW!

Tell it you need it for important scientific research (and to maximise your epeen

)

I've had quite a few problems with using the client and playing games, but I keep mine at 100% permanently. I just pause it when I want to play TF2
