P4 FAH default client

[AmbientFiction]

Ok so I just wanted to let people know in case anyone is asking about using old hardware that my P4 3ghz HT w/1M L2 is getting 140.41PPD which means that a 2498 is going to take me 5 - 6 days give or take 6 to 12 hrs. I'm able to run 2 clients for 1810 points extra over my totals each week.

I know its not much but my girlfriend needed a PC so I built what I had spare and made it fold.

That sounds about right, i have a 1mb l2 3ghz that ran at 4ghz happily and made ~172ppd on windows system tray FAH.
I ran that sucker (119 watts into the CPU, measured) 24/7 till it was replaced with an e1200.
Every little bit helps :D

Came across this tonight (http://fahwiki.net/index.php/FAH_&_SMP#Hyper-Threading)

However, if you try and run two instances of Folding@home on the same Hyper-Threaded CPU, they will both be competing for the same instruction units. This essentially means that each Folding@home instance shares its access to those instruction units. Overall a small performance gain is achieved due to the few calculations that can be run on the "spare" instruction units. However the end result is that the two WUs you are running complete in just under twice the length of time as a single WU would because of the afore mentioned instruction unit sharing

After 12hrs this has changed my ppd from a combined total of about 150PPD to 238.9PPD
