Alright, so the X2 3800+ in my sig was temporarily removed from SMP duty when I upgraded to Gutsy Gibbon. It's my work computer, and that comes first.
Unfortunately, when I upgraded, I got 32 bit by mistake, and didn't realize it until a week later when I tried to run SMP folding. So, I got VMWare and installed a super-stripped-down 64-bit Gutsy inside a VM. So I'm running Gutsy64 within Gutsy32. Screwy.
Anyway, so I come in to work today, glance at the VMWare screen, only to find that this thing is apparently chugging away at 4 minutes per frame. I think, oh crap, it's doing a single-core WU.
A glance at the log, however, indicates that it is working on a 2605, which is an SMP WU.
Snippet from the log
[02:23:38] Completed 340000 out of 500000 steps (68 percent)
[02:23:38] Extra SSE boost OK.
[02:27:41] Writing local files
[02:27:41] Completed 345000 out of 500000 steps (69 percent)
Do I have a mislabeled WU, or have I just stumbled upon the Holy Grail of folding? :beer:
