Hey fellow Folders... a New guy here, (posted in New guy sticky already... somewhat) and just in time for 3rd place Folding!!!! Maybe the 1 WU i finished last night when i joined bumped us!! LOL!
So working with the Standard Client is really straight forward and simple... I have just a few clarification questions that i didn't pick up in the reading. When i right click on the F@H icon in the sys tray, i see a link called "Display" when i click it, it shows the spinning protein and i notice my work load increase (what i want) but when i dont touch the mouse or do anything on the comp for 15-30 seconds, it stalls to a crawl... until i move the mouse again (yes screen saver is turned off, and priorities are even high on the FAH). also, the Viewer in the F@H folder displays a different protein than what is on the "right click" selection of the F@H system tray icon. and that Viewer stalls too after a short period...
and last question, does Deino MPI/MPICH2 Clients work your processor almost like Prime95? if so, i want that one cause i want to fold faster and use more of my processor... this standard client is good, but i feel like i can do more with this rig of mine. I would also use my GPU's but i game on this computer too, and what i gather from the install guide, i would have to un link my cards and do a set up like that... unless one of you tell me otherwise.
Thanks all, and... WTF for 3rd!!!
EDIT: Ok, Downloaded the GPU tray client, now i dont have that issue with the display... also... is it ok to run the CPU and the GPU client together? Cause i am, and i see no impact from one to the other.
