Using both cores to Fold

[Rondog]

My new laptop is the Toshiba A100/R00:
Intel Centrino Duo - 2.16ghz
2gb DDR2
GO 7600 512mb
160gb ATA HDD

How do I make it Fold on both cores?

[Gizmo]

You can run the SMP folding@home client, or you can run two instances of the command-line client. We have an installer for that in AOAFiles, here that RussianMissile created a while back. It installs as a service, so that it is basically 'fire and forget'.

I tried running two instances. I copied the FAH504-Console file into to separate directories, then ran them both, I imagined that it would set itself up twice, once for .exe I ran. But it didnt, only one did.

You have to configure them with separate machine ids.

[Samuknow]

Create two folders call one core 0 and the other core 1

Copy the client into each folder. Run the client and make sure you say yes to run as service and yes to advanced options. Then name each core 0 and 1 respectfully. After they dl the cores, go to task manager to see if you have 100% load on both cores. Then reboot and recheck to see if they are running.

Thanks, I think I might have it working now.

Also, EMII doesnt save the computers in my list of machines when I reboot. They are lost. Yet it works in XP. Any thoughts?

thanks for the link Gizmo, and a big thank you to RussianMissle1 for the great work on the service installer.
all went flawlessly when setting up the newest dual core. I liked it so much I used it on another dual core. I
will use this again and recommend it to all dual core folders as the only way to insure that F@H is installed and
working correctly. don't forget to edit the client config. Ivan will take all the points he can get.
