and there shoudl deffinitely be some sort of windows fix or w/e that changes the task manager so it shows one processor bar that has a 0-100 range and a different one labled "spare cpu resourses" and have that go from 100-0 so when its at 0% that means that the cpu is using 100% of the clocks and when it approaches 100% that means there is that many spare clocks being used on hyperthreading.

i agree, if you want to make stanford happy then run 1 instance of FAH but keep HT enabled! that way folding uses cpu 1 and the user will use cpu 2 and they will not slow each other down as much as with all on one cpu.
if you want the most points possible run 2 instances of it but either way keep HT enabled!! |

The guys at Stanford would like you to run only one instance because EACH WU will finish faster. The same WUs ( R C G too ) are issued to different machines so the chance of too many machines working on the identical WU increases. I haven't been keeping up with the details since I rested my rigs back in March, so I don't know if Stanford put a cap on how many times the same WU is issued or not.
At any rate, running 2 instances with HT on will increase points 10 to 25% or slightly more depending on the WUs crunched vs. the same rig running one instance. |

my opinion on my mini QMD farm ... run 1 QMD if u got the memory .. and leave HT on ... great ppd and lillte impact on run of the milll office stuff. should have min 1 GB mem for this tho.
/edit should have read the whole thread first!! ... even tho u may get marginally better ppd with 2 qmd's on a decent 800 fsb P4 ... your people at work willlllll notice ... and on my oc'ed machines ... they get unstable ... so just run 1 QMD. ....whoops why do i keep doin' this ... ur team is ahead of my team(32)! ... but then it is for the CAUSE! /edit AGAIN STUPID ME! ... also with 1 QMD u will get lower temps and electricity consumption.
