I was gonna use the spare bedroom, but since we are not pulling the carpet in that room, it has been turned into the furniture storage room and I just don't have the space to get in there at the moment.

On a side note, I am now running the Beta 7 client. It was pretty easy to install. I guess we will see how the PPD goes.

So my GPU usage has been fluctuating on all of my GPU clients. I don't know why, but it just wouldn't stay at 99% GPU usage full time. I went to Windows Task Manager and changed the priorities for each of the clients from "Low" to "Below Normal" and now all 3 GPUs are running at a constant 99%. If you are seeing the same issue, you may want to give this a try.

Is anyone else getting crashes with the Beta 7 client? It crashes every time I finish a work unit and move on to a new one. I started using my older clients again...

I have been using beta 7 for a week now and as long as I let it do the default install (ie dont change the install location) it works fine. If I try to change any settings I have problems.

I've had no issues with Beta 7. The only changes I made were to accept large work units, and I added my Passkey. No issues on 2 PC's.

I ran into problems when I tried to change the default install location...it would fail to start folding. I did the default install, added my passkey and added SMP setups to all 3 rigs, GPU to 2 of them and let them run.

I have my GT 430s installed and folding. I have them overclocked from 700 MHz to 820 MHz. I will post some pics soon.

All of my clients ran for 24 hours straight yesterday and I got 63136 points for the day. This is a new record for me. Those two little GT 430 cards are giving me a nice little boost.

I am going to pull back from folding on the gaming rig a bit tonight to play some Deus Ex HR.
