If you can't get a good video card then lets do this.

Completely uninstall your existing F@H. Use Add/remove from the Control Panel.

Download the new CPU console version 6.20 (not the GUI version).

During installation select all the normal stuff - your name, team 36120, run as a service Yes.

You will have a choice of work unit sizes. Depending on the memory installed you will choose “small” or “normal”. Under 368 MB then choose “small”. 512 MB to 1 GB choose “normal”. With slow processors I don't use big even if it runs.

When you see “change advanced setting” then select Yes. Under advanced settings:

Core Priority is Low

Checkpoint is 30 minutes

and just leave the rest as is. The guide for installing the console F@H is here, about halfway down:

Thanks for the info. I will do this on my 10 year old PC when I get home. On second thought, maybe I’ll wait a couple of days for it to spit out the WU it’s been crunching for 5 days before I install the new client. If I uninstall my existing F@H client and install the console version, will it be kill off my current WU or will it be able to resume it?

Thanks again for all your help.

I installed the console version and specified small WUs. It looks like it’s gone from 7 days per WU down to 4, which I guess is an improvement. Thanks.
