I would recommend using the SMP client on any multi-core system, unless it's absolutely not possible for whatever reason. Kelpfries, if you ran the SMP client on all those servers, you'd probably be pulling in about 30,000 points per week. Maybe 20,000 if you run them at 60%. The work units for the SMP client are worth a lot more than the single-core client.

But I haven't used the Windows SMP client, so maybe it sucks so bad that it's not worth it. Hopefully they'll improve it if that's the case.

The SMP client will give more points, but it should not be used on a 2 core machine, it is recommended that you run it on a machine that has at least 4 cores because there have been problems and issues on 2 core machines.

All my machines are dual core and it runs the SMP client fine

I know it uses 4 MPI nodes, so it works better on four cores. But it works fine on two. Unless there's a specific problem with the Windows client that I'm not aware of?


I didn't know the v6 beta had been released.

v6 of Windows SMP client hasn't been released yet. But when it is, the install procedure will be the same as the last version. That's all they mean really.

so this:

Quote

- integration of SMP support into the standard client. Run with the -smp
flag on eligible hardware to receive SMP units.
means that you would need to also have an smp client install, or that they will soon have a gui smp client?

No, the SMP and single-core console client are combined. I don't know exactly how it will work with Windows. In Linux, I just passed it "-smp" and it continued the WU I'd been working on with v5.

This is what happens when I run 'install.bat' (only XP Pro 32 (SP2) on here) and .NET 2.0 installed beforehand buddy :talker:

What is "ddd"? Shouldn't you just press enter at account and then put in the password for "Lizzo"?

It could also be a firewall problem.
