Whoever posts next will post the 1000th post in this thread!
I have had the best luck running Core 1 @ 80% and Core 2 @ 100% which seems to let my GPU chug along pretty fast. The GPU needs the CPU to poll it pretty often. As I believe it needs to CPU to help with its Scientific core. But yes stanford.edu recommends throttling back the Core 1 for the GPU to use which is why they give you extra points for using yoru GPU to fold.

Does the GPU go slower then, when you have the CPUs at 80% and 100%?

I am afrait it goes slower, because in the FAQ I linked before they recommned to let GPU core use the whole one CPU core only for GPU core.

Lol! If only I would've gotten 1 point for every partial fold I did 300 points per 2-3 hours would've been tempting

Great! Each person folding helps out, both for Stanford and our team.

I think I have everything running now, with one core for GPU, one for a CPU F@H. While I won't be having as many clients running, even this setup is better than I thought, PPD wise. Now I just need to figure out what's up with my graphics card that makes it tricky to overclock...

I'm in a Junior Achievement Program and they have a computer lab, 5 2.8 Gh P4s with 1 GB Ram each, and i talked with the coordinator, and she forwarded me on to the branch manager, but said that they do leave them on 24/7 and they do have DSL, so wish me luck...
