    couple quick questions ... you know i love them :)

    Is it possible to run more than 1 set of F@H (CPU & GPU) and WCG clients on the same computer?

    I was just curious if you had like a quad core and set 2 or 3 sets of clients to run at the same time if it would work ... or even would you seen any extra results?

    if you run these clients on 2 different computers can you still use the same name and everything?


    and the last thing ... i signed up for both teams now (hopefully i did the WCG right i ran it for a night and still have all 0's for my stats on their site ) as soon as i get my 280 back i will be ready to get back i should be back up and running

    Boinc is mufti threaded and F@H has an SMP client http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther. I set Boinc to run 3 threads on my quads and use the standard CPU and GPU clients for two threads of F@H. I think if you run the F@H SMP and Boinc as well as the GPU2 client your system will get sluggish as well as impacting (fighting for CPU priority) the DC software.

    I don't say WCG as there is a lot more to Boinc than WCG

    People that buy OEM systems think Linux was a Charlie Brown character, a registry is something you see at target to buy shower gifts, RAM is a Dodge truck and a hard drive is DC at rush hour.

    ah ok ...

    one last thing ... i am slowly getting my new system built ... by that i mean i may have my first piece (a cpu) haha
    if i get a quad core and then throw in a crappy GPU i have laying around would it make my system completely under perform?
