Should I be selecting one for optimum points ect.... or just leave it at no preferences. Oh yea rt now I have my PC overclocked by way of FSB but I am able to run the processor at a 16 multiplier also with the lower fsb is one quicker in setup for folding?

AFAIK high FSB is better for Gromacs, but only raw MHz matters for Tinker based protiens.

If you have an SSE capable CPU (AthlonXP, Pentium 4, Pentium 3, etc) then run the client with the '-advmethods' which will get you the Gromacs proteins.

gromacs

make a shortcut to the f@h exe. Right click it and select properties. At the end of the target line, which has the directory your client is installed in quotes, add a <space>-advmethods<space>-forceasm
...where <space> is one press of the spacebar. Start the client with the new shortcut or replace the shortcut in your startup menu with the new one. You'll get gromacs WU's as soon as you restart the client with the new shortcut and finish its current work unit.
