Re: Selecting which F@H to use

Quote:
What is an SMP client?
For Dual/Quad cores. Uses more system resources, PC may not respond as fast when wanting to do something. And you wont be able to play games while its running.

Quote:
Are there any special requirements with a 64bit system?
Nope.

Quote:
How do you choose a GPU program, and would one work with a motherboard based card?
Nothing lower than the X1600 for ATI and i think 7 series on Nvidia, but dont quote me on that. However running the GPU F@H will use all system resources, you will be waiting for 5mins for a web browser to load up.

Quote:
Can you run GPU and SMP programs at the same time?
Yes, however in advance options you need to set the applications "MachineID" differently . Example SMP is configured as MachineID 1 and the GPU is machineID 2. IDs must be unique.
