    It's kinda hard to tell because Linux running in a VM has a clock issue (the Linux system clock in a VM runs faster than the Windows system clock) that invalidates the frame time comparisons. My guess is that there is aprox. a 10%-15% decrease in performance running in a VM. Note, some people...

    File I/O errors should not be common, unless there is something wrong with the config or the file system. If you'd like, try running Linux in a Virtual Machine and then run the folding SMP client in the virtual machine. That way you can have Linux and Windows running simultaneously and can...

    Windows SMP Beta Testing client released

    The 1st possibility is that the default folder is the "program files" folder and both Windows and Vista really do not like that: Use a sub-directory/folder to fold from. Are you running it as a service? Don't! The SMP clients do not currently work properly when running as a service...

    cheap raid storage

    If it is cheaper, then it is not a waste: Compare prices between four 500GB and seven 250GB (1.5TB of useful space) or five 500GB as compared to nine 250GB (2TB useful space). As long as the price was even close, then yes I would chose the 4 drive setup over 8 drives for all the reasons listed...

    cheap raid storage

    I'd go for bigger drives and fewer of them. There are several reasons -- The cost of additional SATA/PATA ports; The unreliability of PATA power Y-splitters (my personal pet peeve) or the difficulty of getting enough SATA power connectors; The size of the case to fit large quantities of...

    low-end laser printers these days?

    I prefer LJ5's over LJ4's: Because a 5 is faster than a 4, the paper does not stay in contact with the heating element as much and thereby less curl which was the bane of LJ4's. Both are very solid printers well worth getting used.

    I was not trying to get you to uninstall the SMP client, but rather the GUI GPU client (if you want to run the console GPU client). I think they are conflicting with each other. The other alternative is not to use the GPU console client and go back to using the GUI GPU client and simply do a...

    I suspect that to get the console versions to run, you need to first totally uninstall the GUI version using add-and-remove-programs and you are running into conflicts having both on your system at the same time. I'm not sure, in that I've actually never run the GUI version... One quick fix...

    The GUI version has a system tray icon, the console version runs off the taskbar. I wonder if you were running the GUI version before and now you have a mixed version? May I suggest that you post your error in the F@H forums: there are people there that know far more than I.

    Low fps in 3D applications when PC not shutdown for several days

    It happens, when an application or driver requests memory, from the OS, when needed and then does not release the RAM when not needed. What happens over time, is that all your ram gets allocated by that one application/driver leaving nothing for anything else. Eventually, everything is running...

    Interesting review, but I wonder why the Q6600 was not ever used in any of the CPU comparisons as it is the obvious direct competitor. The quad CPU's used for comparison were the Qx9770, Qx97650, Qx6850, Qx6700 which is a good representation of the choices but simply missing the 6600.
