It's usually fairly stable as long as you run the Linux client. Just make sure the machine is completely up to full power use for weeks on end, because it will run the CPU and memory hard, and any failures that don't usually show up will often demonstrate themselves with the SMP client.

Having to use a VM is a hackjob and a hit in performance department. Hence why I ask that they release a stable Windows SMP client.

System performance. Especially non-dynamic RAM allocation.

That's valid point. But I do need some memory hoggers to use up some (I have mine set to about 600 megs, still plenty left to do other stuff) of those 2 gigs of RAM that I have.

The number in your signature is moving in the wrong direction.

Alliance Francophone is ~100k PPD ahead of us.

Athlon64 X2 6000+ with 8800GT - currently only the 8800GT is folding.
Pentium M 1.73GHz
Pentium M 1.5GHz
Pentium 4 1.8GHz
Athlon64 3400+ (which will be upgraded to the GPU2 client as soon as I get the 8800GS) - I just added this one yesterday.
