I was always a little skeptical about the FAHMON displayed PPD.

I check my stats at EOC often and have found Fahspy fairly accurate, minus the downtime between units of course. It's just a matter of personel preference...

/Users/Gord/Appdata/Roaming/Folding@home-gpu

/Appdata is a hidden folder.

Ya... those setting are usually the first thing I change after a new install.

The roaming one is just... wrong...

Oh, I don't have any hidden files/folders on my system. I like to see everything. It was just a reminder for others reading this thread.

EDIT: Nevermind, got it to work.

Install GPU2 - make sure you know the path to the Work folder.

D/L Fahmon
Install
Run
Right click the window, clock Add new client.
Add a name for the client
Browse to the Top folder where the Work folder is situated - not the actual Work folder.
It may take a few percentages until Fahmon recongnizes the Client.

You can add as many as you wish, even over a network (just like I did).
That works for me; I'm using Fahmon, with Vista Ultimate 32bit.

Here is one question that I always wondered: will closing down my system mean that I loose all of my work done to that time if I haven't finished a WU with the GPU2 client?
