| Hi Keith Are you just using the rig in your sig, also do you mean that you are running 1 SMP under Linux with VMWare, and a Windows SMP on the same machine. In the past the best PPD was using 2 Linux programs under VMWare, or am I wrong. Tom

Hi Keith Are you just using the rig in your sig, also do you mean that you are running 1 SMP under Linux with VMWare, and a Windows SMP on the same machine. In the past the best PPD was using 2 Linux programs under VMWare, or am I wrong. Tom Hi Tom , you're right , in the past the best PPD was from two linux VMs running a SMP client. However about a month ago the new a2 core was released which require a lot more RAM than in the past, hence you need at least 3GB of ram to run two VM's now else the folding slows dramatically ....i.e 40 mins per 1%. 2 linux Vm's may still be better depending on you having 3GB of RAM. computer in my sig is home computr and the q6600 is runing at work with 1 linux VM SMP and 1 windows SMP
Cheers, Keith.

| what projects are you doing ? my linux VM is 14 mins and windows SMP is 16 mins per %. it sounds like you may have the new a2 core projects (2619 is a real slowcoach) and running configonly and turn advmethods off should stop you getting those or try allocating more ram to each VM if you have it available. edit ...checked your sig and you are up against the 2GB problem. when you finish a WU , try running 1VM and a windows SMP and see if it makes any difference.
Cheers, Keith.

hi. I'm somewhat perplexed why you get an E: error because the ubuntu distro knows nothing about E: . ia32-libs is installed in step 12: did you do this in the ubuntu desktop ?
