F@H considers the kernals that we download a beta programs. They have arbitrarily set a limit on the newer cores as a two month beta. That means we need to reinstall F@H every few months on some systems.
Oct 1st introduced a new SMP beta. Please reload if you are using SMP. You know who you are!
The PS3 beta changes in early September. If you have not reloaded the F@H core yet, DO SO NOW! You will see nearly 25% more folding due to a reworked core. It is this the speed boost that shot F@H over a petaFLOP, and it can be yours for a quick download.
The GPU kernals were reinstalled in August. By now most folks have already switched to the new core. We will keep an eye out for you since the new beta in November may be a significant boost in performance. beta 6 is current.
For those running Windows console or GUI (you can right click on the red flower in your system tray and see the molecule being folded) stay tuned. The first beta for F@H v6 has just been posted and should be tested by the end of October.
If you want to be a F@H v6 beta 1 guinea pig then follow this link to get the appropriate folding client:

I’m running version 5.3. Do I need to upgrade?
I am guessing that I need to go somewhere else.
When I go to the site with the choices it is not good for downloading to my Linux command window.
I hope you can help because I have a machine that is not folding right now .... yikes
