When I hover over the task bar icon it says Inactive... even though it is definitely doing stuff. Dunno what's up with that. Other than that seems to be going pretty smoothly.

I downloaded v7 and started running the smp/gpu combo version or whatever, and turned off all the old stuff I had. By default it was doing smp:8, but I've turned it to smp:6 which seems to have sped the smp up quite a bit. Might have slowed down my gpu, but probably not since that makes no sense. Pr...

Awesome. Thanks everyone. I'll give that a shot.

So... I should either

• 1. Run smp -6 and the gpu
  2. Run smp (default) and turn off the gpu
  3. Run smp -6 and the gpu v7

Is that correct? I suppose 3 would be superior to 1. So it's really just down to 3 and 2.

Core i7 860 @ 2.8 GHz. The cores were running at about 78 - 79 C before. Now that I'm going with smp 4 they're average about 75 C. The CPU usage is down to about 70% average (I'm guessing 50% SMP, 12% GPU, 8% other processes), but I did just tick up to 39% pretty quickly. Something strange is going ...

Yeah, pretty sure you're correct about the 4 physical cores thing. Thx.

well, I recently made it to 38%, so it's still doing something. Probably won't make it, though, you're right, if it keeps going at this rate. The CPU usage history thing indicates I have 8 cores.

Yeah, CPU usage at 100%. The FahCore_11 from my gpu is using about 12% of that... but I agree... something else must be going on. Also, my PS3 doesn't seem to be able to connect to the FaH server to send in it's completed WU, so maybe that's related. My internet seems fine otherwise, and I'm not doi...

Something definitely seems broken w/ my SMP. Log file seems to indicate that nothing has happened in almost 12 hours. Maybe longer since I don't really know the day. [05:09:59] Completed 680000 out of 2000000 steps (34%) [10:48:13] Completed 700000 out of 2000000 steps (35%) [16:21:39] Completed 720...

I do have a passkey, forgot to mention that. And thanks for the log file location info.

I have been trying to maximize the performance on the little computer I have available. I recently installed the SMP and GPU clients, but I haven't been seeing a big boost in performance. I'm wondering if I maybe am doing the wrong thing for my set up, or if I just have to wait and some huge WU will...
