Hello everyone. Name's Mark.

Using my Toshiba A500 to fold, hope to have some input to the stats. Using quad cores and GPU at present.

GenuineIntel
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz [Family 6 Model 37 Stepping 2]
(4 processors)

NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (986MB) driver: 25896

Think I've set it all up correctly. Seems to be working. Let me know if I'm doing anything wrong or can tweak some setting somewhere.

First off :welcome: to the team. We're glad to have you aboard.

Second, are you running the stock app from Berkley's site? If so, you should read through the optimization sticky here (http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=625171).

Also, SETI runs CPUs and GPUs very close to 100% usage. You should really get some software to monitor the temps of your processor and graphics core. There is a good chance it could overheat that laptop.

P.S. Just a nitpick really, but the Folding @home people "fold". SETI people "crunch". That's just the way it works around here. :)

Using coretemp and restricting the cores to 75% useage I'm getting temps up to 60c. Will tweak it a bit more as I don't really want to be doing this on a laptop long term. just want to quietly tick along and "crunch" along steadily ;)

I'll have a look at the sticky and see what i can fiddle with.
