I followed the VMWare folding tutorial in this thread, and had mixed success, the player version of VMware seems a bit limited, you would expect so being free though. Being on a stupidly restricted uni network, making VM work online is a bit of a fight and needs tinkering which I cant really do with the diskless VM folding. If I used say ubuntu or mint in a VM, would I still get about ~4k PPD on my Q9400 like I do with the diskless? I'm jus trying to squeeze every last PPD before the chimp challenge
There or thereabouts. For maximum PPD drop the GUI after you've installed (or better still don't even install the GUI).
Right, one last question; Do I need to run 2 instances of SMP folding in the VM, or do I need to run 2 instances of the VM with one SMP folding in each? Hoping I can *acquire* me a copy of VMWare workstation before all the folding kicks off
