I don't even know what flags i have only -smp i can see might have -advmethods on too.
You set advmethods in the -configonly when you setup the client
What I do now is use -configonly and then in the advanced section put the flags for the client. That way it saves it and I don't have to put it in a batch file or anything messy
Also under XP running nicely as a service

Well it's working so i don't need to know anything else, Also to prevent facepalm remember to set affinity back to normal after using 7 cores on your VM and using the remainder for GPU's and stuff wondered why mine were stalling and taking 2hrs to do a 353 
Wish stanford would update the psummary as the new 783pt GPU WU's that came out are not showing up with HFM.NET

Hmm ill guess i will have to use both then.
These 1888pt GPU WU's are killers. I had to change some things around last night. One of my K9A2 MB's was a bit doggy to begin with, and with 3x cards flaming away on 1888's it kept amping out and finally hit the skids last night. I was wondering why I couldnt' get nvclock to monitor the cards on that board properly, now I know why.
I think I've got everything ticking along ok now. Still need to re-image my file / media server, will pribably do that later this evening. Adding 4TB of storage and moving the LVM around a bit.
Now I've got 2x Q6600's and 1x A9850 that I need to find system's for. May just sell them, as keeping up with 4 boxes is enough work
.
I use the same flags on all the GPU Boxes and set -advmethods while doing -configonly and -Big WU's:
wine [email protected] -gpu 0 -verbosity 9 -forcegpu nvidia_g80
SMP, same thing for -advmethods done duing -configonly w/Big WU's but only two flags when stating the WU: (-smp and -verbosity 9 )
EDIT:
-forceasm
Instruct the core to use SSE/3DNow assembly instructions if possible, even if it has previously made the determination that the machine may not be handling this well.
I'm not sure this has any real meaning anymore but I do see "SSE Extra-Boost" being flagged out on some WU's but not on the A3's thus far.

Same here. From what I can gather from the Folding forum, they were on the psummary but, for some reason, they disappeared after a power outage. All of us will have had FahMon before they disappeared but most of us only started using HFM.NET recently.
