Here's some basic SMP installation instructions:

Not in Sacramento. Dial-up is as low as $4.95. Comcast costs $54.99 with the standalone internet package.

Can I download a packet on computer 1 (has internet), put it on a flash drive, transfer to computer 2 (no internet), fold the packet, put that onto a flash drive and upload it on computer 1???

Can I fold with my GPU along with my CPU???

I'm not sure if that would work. Are you using dial-up with the computer in your sig? If yes, just let the dial up connection handle the downloads/uploads. It will take awhile, but would be much easier than transferring "work" files back and forth.

Yes, you can. I started running both clients earlier this week and haven't had any problems. Since the GPU client uses a portion of your CPU, the SMP client is much slower. I've noticed a 500 point reduction in my PPD (Points Per Day) average; however, WUs (Worker Units) completed have tripled. I'm still unclear on whether it's better to use both clients, or stick with the SMP.

^ Some of that may not make sense.

After you run F@H for awhile, you'll know what I mean.

hey everyone , i was just wondering if anyone else had any problems with sending the packet data once it was finished folding... i keep getting
that the work unit has an invalid address apparently it is assigned to o.o.o.o

i think im kinda lost :|

**mep916** · 04-30-2008, 01:39 PM

I've never had that problem, but you can try reinstalling the client.

CopperKid · 04-30-2008, 04:04 PM

The computer I'm typeing on right now is a POS but it has a internet connection, the computer I'm going to be folding with is the one in my sig but it doesn't have an internet connection

Edit: can you download more than one packet???
