My PC apparently rebooted last week while I was out of country. So there went a week of my CPU/GPU cycles.

I've been lamenting that we were down to 13 active folders, and then.......

there were 14!

Internet hooks up on Monday, should be able to get the PS3 and one computer up and folding.

Yea, I've been kinda hit and miss. I keep forgetting to turn it on when I'm off my pc or just surfing the web. However, with my new 8-core cpu I'm getting more folding done a day. And I've not even looked into whether or not I'm using the F@H the most effectively. I still don't have my GPu back folding either. I should really get on that...

Also, If anyone knows the most effective way to use my 8-Core, let me know.

Most effective way would be to make sure you're using the beta client, setting it up max-packet-size to big, and having a PassKey.

I was just about to post the same thing. And there's a new public beta out; it appears that F@H is getting close to a rollout of the final version of this client. I believe they intend to replace all of the other clients (SMP, GPU, etc.) with this one.

And be sure to get your GPU folding; it is much more efficient than the CPU.

Here's a guide for the "Slots Options" in F@H: Folding Forum • View topic - Slot Options For V7 (Pictorial Guide)

Value: big

Here's a pictorial guide to setting up F@H beta client: Folding@home - WinGuide

It's possible that your GPU isn't supported, but unlikely. Search through the forums and see if others are having issues with your GPU.
