Re: Maximizing hardware usage

Thanks for the tips guys. My BIOS does show 4 cores, but one is unstable as Windows crashes right away when it starts up with them all enabled. So it looks like there are 3 "good" cores. I'll run the stress tool first though to be sure.

Re: Maximizing hardware usage

Thanks, I'll download v7 tonight. I discovered that I have a 3rd unlock-able core in my CPU so I'll give that a try as well.

Maximizing hardware usage

I built a PC for gaming, but would like to donate time to F@H when I'm not using it. Basically run F@H all night and day since I work 8-5 and just game in the evenings. Might as well put it to good use since it's running anyway wasting electricity right? I have a Phenom 2 x2 and 2 Radeon HD 5750 car...
