I changed mine by clicking VMWare Player -> Troubleshoot -> Change Memory Allocation.

Now I'm getting different errror messages:
attempt to access beyond end of device
hda1: rw=1, want=2096187, limit 2088387

Does this mean that the VM has too small of a hard drive? :|

Those "errors" have no impact on the performance of the Client. No worries.

Well, I have 2 smp clients going via vmware player and they have kicked the crap out of my gpu client(GTX 275). It went from 6-8000ppd to 3400ppd. I am getting about 9600ppd combined outta this machine now. I have the vmware.vmx priorities set at low and affinity set at 2 per each with gpu related processes at normal and affinity set to all cores (Q9450). On my Q6600 running vmware servers and ubuntu the gpu (GTX 260/216) is chugging along at 6000ppd. Is this normal to have such a drop?

Back to Windows SMP I go. Turns out that I can't run VMware folding if I turn my computer off every night. It assumes that it's a new client and everything, causing it to start fold from scratch and downloading a new core.

Is there a way to make it so that the client wouldn't start from scratch every time I restart the computer?

@ geokilla. My clients keep the work done, but download a new core when restarted. It's only about 1.5mb file, doesn't hurt the bandwidth too much.

@stoanee. I had a similar problem, I found that starting the GPU client before the VM's seemed to solve it.

That's interesting. So the work is still stays there? What if I get a new IP address though? I'm trying to figure out a way to set a static IP so I can track it's progress on my computer and not worry bout losing my work files and stuff.

Yup, the work stays. I found that the clients always pull the same IP number from my router. It tells you what IP it pulls as it boots, and you set Fahmon or Fahspy to 192.168.1.###/1 (the fahlog is in a subdirectory called 1).

Gonna try killing the cpu clients to see if the gpu client will get up to speed and then restart them. thanks.
