Well that blows but hey your WU'ing away again.

I'm having so many problems with the client i'm about to quit using it.

I'd suggest trying the linux client in vmware, back when I was SMPing I was running native linux and the client was rock solid, never had a problem with it (except of course when stanford's work servers were down). I've never tried vmware myself, but zevia has, I'll try and find a guide on how to set it up

the only downside is the free version of vmware only supports 2 cores, so crossg would have to either run two vmwares (which would get more ppd than 1 smp client, but would suck up a fair bit of ram too) or he could run 1 vmware and 2 standard clients (probably get about the same ppd as win smp)

Thanks i'll need all the help i can get. I know nothing about linux

or just tell me how to get rid of it and i'll reinstall it.

@Rolling Me either. As for your other question I have no idea how or if I uninstalled the client. I think I just reinstalled from the install bat.

@jwill thanks for the info. I will be doing a fresh install of XP and Vista this weekend so I may just do as you suggested.

yeah i tried that also :-/

I found this pre-made folding image for vmware, looks pretty easy to set up I'll have to give it a try too

the readme file is at the bottom

Say's it takes lots of ram. How much? I can put 4 gigs in. I can handle the hdd specs.

Ooh yuck - Red hat!

I know back when smp first came out people were setting vmware to 512mb, but the newer WUs use more ram, so 768-1gb is probably optimal, but I don't know for sure

I'm going to try running at stock cpu speed and see how it goes *sigh*

ok curiosity got the best of me so i tried a different setting in my bios and low and behold it worked so i'm back to oc'ing and F@H along with Bionic. So far so good I let it run and see how it goes now.

Glad you got it sorted. I am going to shut down for a bit and swap Mobo's to see if I can't get a little more oomph out of this Quad.

Thanks for the tip Let me know if there's anything else i need to do. I'm green remember

Have fun with your new mobo

well, i almost have the same problem here, on a Win single core client... but i'm always here to do the restarting thing.. so.. not a problem for me

:edit: look at my post count!!! quite binary 1101 bin=13 dec my favorite binary :/edit:

Hehe I am. Got extra horse power right off the bat. Old board wouldn't boot over 3250 Mhz. Still have to load Vista and call Microsoft validation again. Twice in one day.

Nice crossg

And by the way i just completed a WU and it got work right after sending results thanks again

Well i'm sure your going to post some more

Ooooh that is very nice
