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.
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???

ok so it is very hot here so my q6600 is running at around 50-60*C. is that a problem?
like i know its probably not gonna damage it.. but still seems quite hot.
i just installed the smp client.
here is a screenshot.
i just had to reformat so nothing is on there yet hahhaah
how long does it take you all to get through 1%?
it seems to be taking me 15 minutes.
should i turn off speedstep or whatever is on?
core 1 is changing from 56 to 57 to 58
core 2 is alternating betweet 54 or 55
core 3 is at 52 constantly
core 4 is at 60 constantly
is that ok? hahaha

Well, I'm finally folding.
First one should be done sometime tomorrow.
Now I have a reason to keep my computer on all the time

It's called sneaker netting. Can be done. I used to do it all the time.
I have been folding for near 5 years, and use to not have an internet connection for the 5 comps I was running.
Yes you can fold with gpu and cpu depending on how many cores you have.

Frame time changes from unit to unit. What unit are you folding?
I have some units that are only 7 seconds a frame.

Try a number. Amber will disappear when enough time has passed to give you the number of the project.
Try this link for unit point values.

With your system specs you should be doing alot better.
I have 2 new comps that I am getting 2600 points a day average on. I don't fold here anymore. Nothing against this team but I went back to another name and team when this site lost interest awhile back

Hi, just started folding today. It took about 27 minutes to get to 1% running on both cores, (it's a 2gHz C2D E4400, OCed to 2.6). I'm currently doing project number 2665
Because it's taking so long, i wanted to know if it will continue if I turn off my computer and turn it back on again. Also, rather than shutting down, I usually put it into hibernate.
Thanks,
Matt

Hey
Hi guys,
I have to admit I have been very inactive when it comes down to updating our team folding site. However, I will do my best to update it accordingly. Keep up the great work and please help me in recruiting new members to join our successful team. Many thanks.

I am currently folding with my PS3. That thing is a power house. Completed a 100,000 step wu in about 4 hours. I wonder how they stack up against quad core pc processors?
