I want to fold in vmware, but how can I keep it from slowing my system?

Hi Team32:

WinSMP has been working fine for me, in Vista 32 and XP64, but I want to do SMP in vmware/linux (I lost two core2 borgs over the past week so I need to maximize pts anyway possible).

My issue with vmware is that it noticably slows down my system, even if I set vmware's priority in Task Manager to the lowest setting. Is it possible to make the system behave more like it would with native folding, that is, no slowdowns while using the computer? I cannot run linux native on this system.

Thanks in advance. :beer:

Set the priority of vmware-vmx.exe to low and the VM will behave like the native client, backing out quickly when a higher priority task is run.
