Meaning if one of your computers dies can you move the folder to another computer and finish out the WU/Project?
Long shot but a thought.

Take the whole fah folder, with all the cores and machinedependant and work and fah6 and everything.
Be sure you only move it though, if you accidental turn in that WU twice Stanford will invade your house with protein SWAT teams and turn your bed into a over sized pitcher plant.

I moved it to my e:\folding directory
renamed the folder FAH1 then the application fah_cpu1 to avoid any issues with current appliation named the same thing. rebooted and started it and it gives me a file io error

In the end if you just want to transfer a wu, all you need to do is copy the work folder and the que.dat afaik

I know that this works, I fold from a USB key at work and then run from the same USB key on a spare laptop at home. The drive letter changes but the program still works.

Maybe I'll try that then
What config would you guys recommend running for a p4 2.8 HT model?
-smp 2 -verbosity 9?
what is going to yeild the most points? and then when I move the usb to the i7 I can change the config to -smp 8.
What ill effects will I have from running 2 consoles with -smp 8 -verbosity 9?
Do not think a 2.8GHz p4 will make SMP preferred deadline. It has been a few years since I had a P4 folding, but recall my P4 at 3.7GHz only beat the SMP preferred deadline by a few hours. The current SMP client might make it, but would be better to run single uni client on a part time folding P4 and not have issue with the deadline.
