Thanks Chris! I just switched over to VMware player to fold the bigadv WU's, and it netted me a cool 8k ppd increase (on a 6900 WU)! Although in your guide, you might want to mention that you have to set the VM's network settings to NAT before firing up the image, that's the only way I could get it to work. Trying to leave the network settings on default didn't work properly (I have zero Linux experience, and very little true networking knowledge).

Anyways, the rest of my machines have been switched over, they just need to be stopped and re-started (a step my dad overlooked when he did it), and I'll be rocking fully for HWC!

Picked up a 560Ti yesterday. Getting a bit over double my PPD now (hfm showing between 21,500 and 24,500 depending on WU's.

Good stuff! Those 560Tis are pretty good all-around cards.

Yea, its quite a beast....overclocking was a breeze too. I was just looking over my log files and some of the WU's got upwards of 18.5k-19k ppd (10959,11224,11259) alongside the SMP client (which only took a hit of about 2k-2.5k ppd on average.

Ok, I seem to be running into some major problems getting VMware to behave. When I first got it running, I picked up a 6900 WU, and it was reporting (through ~50% of the calculations) ~46k PPD. Unfortunately that unit was lost at 65% (possibly due to a computer re-start during the night, not entirely sure), and after that my PPD has dropped to well below what I was getting on regular windows. I'm using VMware player 3 with linuxrouter's V1.5 linux image. Right now, the image states I've got a 6900 unit, however HFM indicates a 2685 unit, with a TPF of 47:23, and 18,882PPD.

Help!!

Can you try updating the HFM database? You could also try going into preferences and change the psummary.html to psummaryC.html to see if there is an update.

That said, you might also want to set the priority of the vmx file under Windows to higher in case another program is stealing your cpu cycles. I use prifinity to set the vmware-vmx.exefile to a higher priority to prevent drops in PPD )when I used vmware)

[krazyups]

Ok, did those things, as well as update to linuxrouter's V1.6 image. So far (just starting mind you), HFM shows the proper unit (6900, yay!), now hopefully it'll complete the first percent in ~26min, then I'll know that I'm good.

Thanks for the help Chris!
