No one?

@Imma. He might've gotten the A2 cores. Those fold significantly faster than the A1 cores.

@3.0 and Chris. Mind sharing what's going on with the screenies? I'm not getting what's going on...

Chris couldn't find the -vmx file for Prifinitty, since he wasn't looking into the correct folder...

Pebkac. ID 10 T error. Basically, I wanted to set the priorities automatically using prifinity, and went looking for it in the standard install folders. Problem was , I did not install it in the standard folder, hence why I could not find it....

Time to move along folks, nothing to see here...

Crazy man! I'm set up pretty much the same, but I don't get anywhere near that PPD. Could it be that I have to install VMWare somewhere other than Program Files?

I'm still at about 1800 per.


I wonder if Prifinitty has some issues with 64 bit Vista.

Vmware is installed on my secondary drive, actually. And we'll know in a week if 64 bit is an issue....

Hmm...well I'm disinclined to go through the whole reinstall process right now.

I'll leave it as is and wait it out.

When I get another SSD and have to resinstall, I'll do it then. I might jump over to Win7, though, since it looks like SLI is working now.

Great...so I just *slightly* OC'ed my i7 920 with a BCLK of 150mhz, meaning 3ghz. I didn't bother stepping up voltage, perhaps I ought have but I decided against it, I'm really nervous about i7 OCing...

Well the sytem POSTed but it didn't boot. Windows didn't like the OC. It said that there was a driver problem with "acpi.sys" or something or other. I even set it to "Dummy OC" to see if I did something wrong and Windows did the same thing. Damn, so close but so far. It posted but now windows...wtf did I do wrong?!? >.>

How can I tell what core I have? (A1/A2) Can I check with CPU-Z?

A1/A2 are SMP Folding cores. They have nothing to do with your OC.

A1 is the old SMP core used by Windows and Linux, A2 is the newer faster SMP core that can be used by the Linux client only. To find out which one your WU is using , check the log.

I am getting 2100PPD per instance of vmware on my Q6600 on Vista 64-bit. The Q6600 is OCed to 3.0GHZ.

My vmware is not running in the Program Files directory (I try not to run any F@H stuff on Vista in the Program Files dir...
