The good, is that my new dual athlon MP 2600 will be folding instead! I have two instances of folding running to harness the power of both processors.
I have a question. Is it necessary to assign each F@H instance to it's own processor? Also, how can I make a program start up with specific options (CPU assignment, priority...).
Thanks.
If you aren't running as a service, then just start up two instances, win2k/XP etc will assign one client to each CPU. Setting affinity has no real advantage in performance, and you would have to set it each time you started the FAH client.
I have noticed however when running four instances, that sometimes one client would get 50% of total cpu power, and the others would get ~16% each. Strange.
What mobo are you running those MP2600's on?
