Does folding with a screen saver running decrease performance? I run the LCARS System47 screen saver and don't know if it's affecting my folding.

It depends on how resource heavy it is.

If your CPU is running 100%, I would suggest turning it off as it would no doubt affect your folding.

Could the SMP client explain why my computer doesn't really want to sleep sometimes?? I gets pretty annoy that I have to turn off my computer now..

aviation_man · 11-04-2009, 07:51 PM

I can't even complete one WU, let alone get any points because my computer won't sleep, so I had to completely shut it off, and when I shut it off my SMP and GPU clients always restart themselves when I turn my computer back on again instead of returning to the last check point

It's doing any good if this continues, does anybody know if the SMP client is the reason as to why my computer won't sleep?

I don't know about the SMP client, but the simple client always starts where it left off, based on the units in the "Work" folder.

Not sure why the SMP would be different.

To my knowledge the SMP client does not save where you left off. If someone can prove me wrong it would be helpful. Then, I and others will most likely start using it. For now im sticking with the standard client.

The last SMP client I used, 5.91, picked up where you left off, so i can only assume the most recent client does as well. I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't. I gotta set that up soon. Been hella lazy lately in the folding arena.

Really? You're still in 5th place for 24 hr points average.

My SMP client completely crashed yesterday. I can't even get it started again. I was also getting crashes in GPU client as well. I did a bunch of driver updates and uninstalled a bunch of extra programs and stuff...kinda cleaning house. I will reinstall all the clients in the morning and see how Folding goes
