Welcome to foldingforum.org, astar.

Please don't get discouraged before we have a chance to read your comments. The forum has anti-spam procedures which make getting started take longer than it should, particularly when your first post says nothing about FAH. Add to that the fact that there's are very few people on the forum during much of the night (We're all volunteers here), and it can take some time to get a response.

I'm not sure what an amd 22 pc is so I'll need more information to help you. Please provide us with a more detailed hardware description. Also tell us which client you have installed and post the log that will tell us how the client is configured.

You didn't mention any lag problems in your previous posts. What's going on?

Regarding your original question of what's the best setup for your machine, I'd recommend 2 uniprocessor clients and 1 GPU client (assuming you don't have more than 1 GPU). It looks like the GPU client is already taken care of. Your Athlon II X2 is somewhat marginal for SMP units if you don't fold 24/7, but it should be able to handle a uniprocessor unit on each core.

If you're pasting a lot of text you should put it inside Code tags, which will condense everything into a scrollable window and keep the physical size of your post small.
