Quad Core

Hey, just joined and noticed that it's only taking 25% of the CPU's... Is this because I'm using a quad core?

Also, will I be able to use my PS3 to add points to the team as well?

One more thing, it still states "Completed 0 out of....." is this normal?

Are you using the SMP client?

http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/release/FAH504-Console.exe

That's what I downloaded.

Oops. That isn't the SMP client.

get the smp client and run it with the "-smp" flag and you'll be sorted!

Also - welcome to the team

Downloaded the "MPICH" and I'm stuck where I'm supposed to enter " fah6 -configonly -smp" nothing comes up in CMD.

You create a shortcut to the executable and edit its properties to add -smp (and -configonly if you want).

Yeah I've tried doing that, once I click it a cmd screen appears for no more than a second before closing and nothing happens :confused:

open up a cmd prompt, change dir to the folder where u installed the smp client and then run the .exe

for example:

start > run > type 'cmd'
cd c:\somedir\folding
folding.exe -smp -configonly

its easier if u move the client to a folder named 'fah' in the root of c:\ instead of program files, and rename the .exe to something simple
