You also must run the console version for that to work, the graphical version utilizes OpenGL which does not allow itself to be used by two programs simultaneously.

Yes Yeti is getting plenty of work done with 3 CPU's.
Yeah, basically scavenging the computers in my lab that aren't running other simulations. Won't last long though. Moving to another lab in a few weeks that will have very tight security.

are you being serious, it cant have folded 15WU's in the amount of time you have joined up, WU's take days and even weeks to complete on systems that run at 100% 24/7, youve either made a mistake or are bullshitting....

Or you get really small WU's. I could do 1-2 a day on my old rig when I was folding for iT, others took several days.
