    Hello,
    I have just got an HP Proliant DL380 G6 with dual Xeon E5520 2.27ghz procs...

    I want to set it up folding and assume that SMP is the way to go?

    Does anyone have a set of nice instructions on how I would go about setting this up for max PPD please?

    If it's just for folding then running the bigadv units on linux would give the most ppd

    Its a server for work. I have got it just to run SQL 2008. Currently we only have 5 or 6 small databases on it so i figured i'd use the spare proc to fold... Its got Windows 2008 R2 64bit.

    I'm currently following the SMP guide on the stanford site and assume that I go through the motions twice and change the machine ID?

    I that case I'd just install the SMP client the run it with the -smp 16 (or however many cores you want to give it) option

    Ah, so I only install 1 instance of SMP and put -smp 16 after the shortcut? That makes more sense....

    Although its not going very well as it crashes at random time throughout the install :miffed:
