It can be a little tricky setting it up...let me know if you have any issues and I can walk you through the process.

Ok, I installed it, and when I go to Add New Client, do I select the FAH under program files in Windows Explorer?

1. Download and install

2. Open FAHMON and click on "clients" and then select "add new client"

3. You'll then see a box like this

4. As the picture states...type in a name and then paste the log file file location. To find the log file location start your client, right click the icon in the task bar, highlight status and then go to "Log File...you will see some thing like this.

Then you have added the client

****Sorry about the slow response...took me a couple minutes****

Thanks man

Appreciate it.

What's optimal CPU usage for this program that you'd recommend on a Quad core?

ScOuT · 10-07-2009, 05:20 PM

For FAHMON? I can't even tell a difference between idle and when FAHMON is running...it uses almost nothing really.

mep916 turned me onto FAHMON and I love it. As soon as my computer comes on...FAHMON is running

Oh, I didn't mean FAHMON, I meant F@H. Sorry

for maximum PPD, you want 100% CPU usage and run your PC 24/7. If you're overclocking, make sure it's stable.

Should I make it so that it distributes throughout all four cores or should I keep it to one core?

all four cores. You gotta use the SMP client and enter the -smp flag when you install the app. There's instructions at the folding forum and I think Scout wrote up a quick guide in this thread.

That looks like a good guide. I haven't run the CPU client in over a year, and i don't have any experience with the 6.xx client.
