It will run. I don't know what your chips are, but it will outproduce two regular clients, yes.

damn it I didn't want to hear that :-P The program I use at work lets me remotely schedule machine Jobs. If you code it right you can have it put most anything on the machine by just typing in an number. I got it working with a folder with a few of the regular clients. It would copy over the folder, then run the .exe's (my cfg file for F@H is already there and everything). The SMP client throws a wrench in the works of that by requiring a seperate installer for the F@H services that need to be running. grrr Ill try and work my way around that. What would the PPD difference be abouts between 2 regular clients and 1 SMP client? here are the chips that I would be using: (a wide selection of speeds, about... 20 different machines total) 2, 2.4, 2.5, 2.8, 3, 3.2 ghz core2duos/xeons 2.6, 2.8, 3, 3.2 ghz netburst pentiumD/xeons

Prolly an average of 5 or 6 times the yield of two clients, I would guess...

First, I think 5 or 6 times is a bit optimistic... maybe 3 times for PDD, depending on the cores. However, more importantly, AOA does not endorse or support the idea of borging equipment. While we all want to contribute to science, running FAH on equipment that is not owned by the the user, or with explicit approval and understanding by the owners is highly frowned upon. A while back, people were sued for what was interpreted as theft of machines for unapproved use of distributed computing programs. It is not worth the points. Honestly, I think it should be expressly forbidden on AOA. Sorry for being heavy handed... Hopefully I misunderstand, and you have express permission from your management.... In which case, go for it.

It doesn't have to be. It's already expressly forbidden by the EULA, requiring said permission in writing. I would like to think that BR has, or will have, that permission. It would be a great thing for the team and the project ![]()

Well then! *writes an email to himself giving himself permission to do whatever I please with those machines since he is listed as the machines' "owner" in the company directory and as long as it doesn't interfere with my testing, its fine* so :-P (I think hes just sore at being passed in daily production, hehehe) Today at lunch ill work on manually installing the SMP client on all my dual core machines.

Would it be to much to say that having folding on a machine is a valid part of testing...or should be? ":O}

I am more than willing to admit when I am wrong... WTG, BigRed... More than a few have caused problems for themselves and their teams. F@H is a noble cause, but you know what they say about good intentions.... I am glad that's not the case here. BTW... folding is an excellent burn in program to verify the stability of computers. For stability, all idle machines should be tested for stability.... 24/7. ![]()

hehehe Only one spot left to grab I have a whole rack of 2U servers (16 of them) that are dual-dual cpus. But for some reason they wont install windows ![]() Once I can figure out how to get an OS on them I can get those folding too and crush your 9600gt's ![]() Edit: I just saw dabaerman's sig and I gotta mention he getting pwned by Intel cpus running the latest build of win7, hehe ![]() Edit 2: I like the spike in production in this chart http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...ry.php?s=&t=45
