Hi all
I have the three machines in my room folding 24/7 in sig, Orion, Prometheus and Merlin.
I just looked on FAHMON and the PPD are 31.80 on Orion, 100 on Merlin and 0 on Prometheus?????
Can anyone advise me on why this is, I would like to actually contribute not just limp in?!

You could go into task manager (CTRL -ALT-DEL) and then look at the processes running to see if folding@home is one of them. Looking at your computers with prometheus you could run the GPU-2 client on your 3650 graphics card which will get you at least 1500 points per day.This could be run as well as the console version on that computer. I assume that Orion is 24/7 as well , in which case you could run a SMP client on that computer which would probably bring in another 1200 PPD. If you want to spend any money to improve your PPD , you could look at a 8800GT assuming it will fit in lancelot or merlin , or if you are looking at electric costs as well and depending on what they are used for , they could be sold(whole or in bits) or upgraded and get a q6600/mobo/ddr2 ram and possibly get 3000ppd out of the new machine. adding in a 8800GT would add about 3500 ppd on top. if you use an SMP or GPU client then it need to be in a modernish machine (dual core or better) running at least 8 hours per day in order to make the deadlines.If you are running the older machines just as dedicated folding machines then it may be more economical in the long run to upgrade to new equipment running flat out and minimise the electric use with more efficient processing power per watt. mmm Plenty of food for thought there? Thanks Kieth How do i turn the GPU one on and off as I cant have it runnning while gaming as I had to switch to the service one as opposed to the graphical one as it was minimizing my games all the time? I will get the smp on on Orion and prometheus as they are both 24/7 and Merlin is also 24/7 running the service but oledr so will just ahve to leave that on as it is. Money is tight at the moment so not sure about upgrading, all depends on how much I could build it for? Thanks for the info like. Columbo have you put the SMP clients on and stopped the console versions on those computers.?
Cheers, Keith.

| No I havent got the SMP ones on? All I have is the service version on all of them and what I though was the gpu one on two (I think however it is just the graphical version of the normal one?) Help, I need to get the best from my machines. 2x dual core for folding

Get the SMP from here and install on youre dual core machines.
The GPU client is there also.
You might find that the GPU client and a normal cient will give better PPD on Prometheus than a SMP client.

So should I just stick with the normal client onthe Duals then and run the gpu one as well?

Give it a go.
You can run the SMP and GPU client at the same time but on my old setup (E2160 @ 2.4, HD 3850 512 MB) I got more PPD with a normal client and GPU client (GPU client liked to have a core to itself).
I think Tippon is running a simlar setup as well so he might be along with his wisdom at some stage.
