Check your flags

This is really just a heads up for anyone who hasn't checked their boxes lately as I forgot to set -advmethods on one of mine.

For anyone wondering what this is the -advmethods flag means that you will tend to get more gromacs WU's which can give your points scoring quite a boost.

I know, I know, we do it for the science.

dod, try downloading the new Beta v3.25. You will also have to delete the old FahCore_78-exe in your FAH folder. Use both the -advmethods and the -forceasm flags. The -forceasm will enable SSE optimizations which is significantly better than the 3DNow optimizations.

Thanks Mooky. Don't you have to register for the Beta testing? I never got round to it.

No. Only for Beta team, which is something else.

I did all this just this morning and everything is running fine.

Thanks for heads up mooky!

I'm getting mine up as WU's finish but there is a significant gain. Here's a pic of my main rig. "Box 2" has the new core. Thanks Mooky

And the second box shows similar gain. This time its "FAH2"
