Linux gets more points with SMP?

eddyg519 · Feb 19, 2009

So once I get my heatsink/CPU temps BELOW 90C im going to fold on the chip but I was wondering if its a better idea to do a VMware with linux just for the SMP folding and run my single (soon dual) GPU2 folding in vista64?

quick question i know :bang head

best regards team and FOLD ON :beer:

yes there's special WU's that give very nice PPD with Linux. They don't come around all the time but it sure is nice when they do.

I recommend VMware 2.0, I am looking forward to writing a guide on this eventually (too busy atm). There's a couple guides here in the folding section (one's a sticky) that can help ya out a little bit.

+1 for WMWare 2.0
I love that I can manage my VMs from anywhere, btw. It's nice to know that even at work or school I can restart faulty clients or update cores.

That would be a nice guide to have as I'm at 1.08 ATM and when I tried to install VM 2.0 it just wouldn't go. Maybe I'll try again when I'll have 2GB more memory while still running 1.08 folding. Maybe my brain was too foggy last time.

Any performance increase with VMWare Server v2.0 vs. the v1.08 release?

If there isn't I'm not going to bother as I just updated all my machines to v1.08 recently.

i was going to DL it but i download VMware SERVER 2.0?

same deal as the standard client?

there is already a massive guide on install SMP on VM in windows.

I didn't actually test it H, but could not "notice" a difference. I only ran it for about a week, then went back to 1.0.8.
Did not like the fact you have to log in with a password every time.

I am still back on 1.0.6. Any benefit going up to 1.0.8?
