I agree and that is the intention as the stickies are a mess. This was going to be a priority, until the CC came along. I think I covered all the important links already. I'll wait until Monday or Tuesday for any more suggestions.

I intend to add the following:
- F@H tweaking list. This would include utilities for setting priorities, and for overclocking shaders, etc.

- alphabetize the Glossary in the first post, and add a couple more terms (ie. TPF, shaders).

I just don't want to start 'unstickying' threads all over the place without some input from the community first.

Updated with Windows Bigadv, and links to unstuck guides.

Linux -bigadv is completely obsolete since -bigadv has been disabled for Linux systems. You should remove that part of your post entirely.

I am trying to get this thing running, I installed the V6 GPU2 but I get an error message saying my GPU is not supported, Radeon 5770, running driver 11.5 under win 7u 64. any ideas?

[3.0charlie]

Add this switch to the Additional Client parameters, in the advanced section of the Client's configuration: -forcegpu ati_r800

I thought they dropped support for 5xxx/6xxx in GPU2 since the V7 integrated client came out. I could be wrong though, but even if the flag does work the newer V7 client makes better use of newer/ish ATI/AMD cards and gives better points.

[Arinoth]

You get better points if you use the V7 client for AMD cards, at least thats what i've heard. The V7 client is also an all in one type setup so that you don't have to do all these silly flags for multiple GPUs anymore

Ok, will try again at home. Uninstall the old one and put V7

[chubaka]

Does anyone know how to install the systray version on a different hdd other than default c?

I dont want to kill my ssd...

[Tim_H]

I would try something similar to how the multi gpu setup tells you to "install" a new client. just move/copy the installed folder to the location you want.

worth a shot even if it doesn't work

here it the link to the Stanford install guide
