ok I have an E8400 (currently OC'ed gently at 3.4GHz) 2 Gigs of ram win xp pro and an 8800GTS 512MB OC edition
I'm Trying to think of the differnt configurations I can use with my equipment to maximise my PPD.
At the moment I'm running this:
Folding at home console client on core 0 of E8400 with -forceasm in service mode.
FAHGFX on Nvidia GPU. assigned to core 1 (trying to get it not to interfeer with the other CPU FAH process)
I was wondering Would it be possible for me to run an extra FAH CPU client on Core 1 without any noticiable slowing down of PPD? would it improve my PPD?
or would a better choice be to run the SMP client on my E8400 ( I know its really meant for quads but i have heard it can run on dual cores)
Note I am aslo running fah on my media server and family desktop (climbing to the top of the ladder !)
EDIT: My 8800GTS 512 is currently running driver version 180.48 WHQL - If i upgrade to the newest version (181.20 WHQL) do you think it would effect the eficiency of FAH?
