Additional client parameters []?
You can enter the client flags here so you don't have to type the flag each time. I strongly suggest you enter the -smp -deino -verbosity 9 flag here to make things easier. Don't enter -config or -configonly or any single-use flag to avoid issues.

Did you add the "-smp" and "-deino" flags?

ahahaha I did the exact same thing! Stupid SMP client... It was running at load on all 4 cores on my q9450 but going so slowly... not sure why...

I gave up and ran regular clients on each core.... much higher ppd!

VMWare ubuntu folding works MUCH better. I gave up on the windows clients long ago.

The SMP is meant to replace the usual cpu client, you won't make the deadlines with that many clients running.

The SMP client will load all your cores by itself...

Are you running an i7 by chance ?, if so 2x then SMP client would do it. Each SMP instance can load 4 cores, just make sure the priority on your GPU client is slightly higher to make sure it gets enough cpu cycles. Add the -smp flag at the end of the target line on your shortcut.

Without knowing you system specs and OS it's hard to advise you on what clients to use.
