Sorry for being away for the past several days.

Folding@Home has finally released a BETA SMP client for Windows. This is great news for anyone that has a dual core chip and is running Windows, not Linux or OS/X.

It means better utilization of your CPU to fold and advance science. It might also mean more points for you, not that any of us fold for points ... ;')

I will not be able to touch this for at least a week. If any of the gurus out there have time to install into a fresh dual core system please help us by experimenting with F@H SMP.

Chips that work are any Intel Core 2 Duo chips and any AMD X2 chip.

Remember, this is a beta and there will be work unit failures. The payback is potentially hundreds of points per day from one system, and the full potential of new chips in Windows running F@H.

THANK YOU ALL!

OK, I'm trying the Windows SMP (also running the Linux SMP on the same box but in VMWare). This will give me an easy transition to Windows if it's faster than Linux (even slowed in a VM), or back to Linux if the Windows client is a dog. Should be interesting to watch Pegasus (Linux in VM, Windows SMP and 2 single folding session to catch between WU time in the SMP clients).

I'm just a sick puppy.
