The restart issue is the main reason that O install console F@H. Not as fast, but I never miss a deadline.

The 4350 is not a great folder but it has a very sweet spot based on its low cost.

As long as ASUS didn't do something strange to the drivers you should be fine.

I am using the ATI driver 185 instead of the manufacturer's drivers here.

Action report:
The ASUS card doesn’t support my monitor at 1920x1080. Also, you apparently need a 2nd monitor or dummy plug attached to an unused display adapter to use it for folding. So the ASUS card is out unless I can locate an updated driver. I tried the ATI drivers a while ago, and I don’t recall the problem, but they didn’t work well. You mention the ATI 185 driver, do you have an ASUS card?

I installed the GPU client on the onboard video alongside the SMP client. It looks like the GPU is running about 200 ppd based on 1% finished.

I was wrong about choosing the number of cores running for SMP, the command line parameter I entered that I thought was doing this was being ignored and all 4 cores run. I changed the CPU usage to 75%, but it still runs 4 cores, but not as hard.

I am going to try installing the SMP as a service when my current WU finishes. I don’t want to lose a days work. The GPU is installed as a service, but I wanted to finsh this note before rebooting and testing it.
