I've installed F@H at work and haven't edited the registry yet it still says:-

[15:20:28] Extra SSE boost OK.

at the start of a unit so I assume its running the SSE extensions?

Does this mean you dont have to touch the reg files now?
 
For the most part, the client will automatically utilise the optimisations without prompting - but occasionally, it doesn't. Adding the -forceasm flag forces it to utilise them on the odd occasion it doesn't.

I haven't used it for ages and had no problems. It's a matter of personal choice really.
 
Without the flag, the client will stop using optimisations if there's a crash or unexpected reboot. These things happen sometimes and the penalty of not having optimisations is severe, so best use the flag. :)

It's mostly a safeguard against people who have systems with badly designed cooling or who think that they have free reign to overclock their systems to the max with impunity. None of us here are quilty of such things, are we? :D

Overclock? Us? /whistles . . . .
 
You have got permission to install F@H on your work computer, right? Companies can get arsey if you run DC projects on their hardware without permission... not worth being disciplined over!
 
I work for my dad ;)

It's only a small office, one main work PC (Dual core AMD) and his Vostro laptop which I have managed to stick F@H home on aswell without him knowing mwhaha

I've also got his old laptop which is sitting under my desk folding 24/7

Still trying to pursude him that he needs a Q6600 to make 'office run better' :p
 
Depends how good your laptop batteries are. In my case, three hours down to two isn't so bad.

(I don't think the VMWare-based clients 'do' power management)
