Now i think i can add my 2.4 single core and not have as many problems.

Can you burn DVD's and fold or is it to hard on cpu?

I can using the GUI client. But then aren't you using the SMP one...in which case I don't know.

GUI won't work with my vid card.

Anyone else know?

Also can you close out F@H and restart what you were working on? Say if you need to restart your machine?

I'm running @ 4%/hr on this, i guess that's normal for E6600 at stock speed.

I think it depends on how complex the WU is your folding. 4% seems about right. The WU's i've folded so far take between 10 minutes 30 seconds to just under 15 minutes per 1%.

Yes you can! There are some of my burns (ie create disc) where they show 100% CPU in CDSpeed because I didn't close FAH. But it burns fine, quality scan normal.

All you fast folders, I dunno *shakes head*

I'll run it when i can. I was just worried about it using all my resources. Put it on your neighbors machines using your nic Just smile and bat your eye's

well, actually, here's a real-life sample from my own experience ...
i was F@H while burning at 8x, can youu imagine what would happen if i tried 18X?!
after that one, i either pause or lower the task process priority when i intend to make a DVD burn, for CDs, i keep it Folding
CPU: Intel P4 3.0E GHz/1MB cache
RAM: 4x256 MB/DDR2.... i think.. @dual channel
VGA: AGP ATI Radeon 9550 @256MB

LOL! ....his (my upstairs neighbour) PC is on the verge of crashing often with all the crap he runs, I wouldn't risk it

Well if that's the case.........
ok it's time to build another j/king

Thanks for the tip headquarter84.

After reading headquarter84 post i thought i should try it.

Vista Home Premium 64bit
VMWare Workstation 6 (ubuntu 64 bit running fah Linux smp client)

Core 2 Duo E6600 @3.4gig (4gig of ram)
20x burn followed by a quick 16x scan and burst rate.

Nice!

Just had a look at the stats since I was bored...look at crossg go!

I just had to stop and mess with overclocking my new rig. When i went back to running F@H i had to start a new project. Anyway i need to complete at least one project before messing around again

Doh, what a pain. I think I've only lost work once with the GUI client (hehe, famous last words...).

I think when i cleaned my cache it took out my work history? I have no idea.

i had a WU end early the other night, but it says in the log that it could be normal behavior on certain projects assuming it doesn't happen with all WUs.

have you checked your log to see if it says anything about it?

i'm a complete noob to this as well so I have no idea if i'm directing you to the right place so waste your time on my advice at your own risk

clearing the cache shouldn't get rid of your work history, there is a work folder in your FAH directory, this is where all the work files are stored

Yeah i have no idea what happened to my previous work but i'll keep chugging along

an occasional EUE is normal, but if it happens regularly it could indicate hardware problems or software conflicts. the most common cause of hardware related EUEs is bad ram, which can be tested for with memtest86. another common cause is cpu overheating or instability due to overclocking and/or insufficient power supply. software wise I know Cisco VPN client will cause EUEs, but I'm not sure about any others
