    Ok so by now i'm probably bugging you guys to death...sorry about that.
    But i promise i'm also using this info to help others start folding:)

    Anywho as you probably know i was accidentally running the non smp verson, well now i am (i added the -smp to then end of the shortcut) but im still getting less than what everyone else is=/

    I read somewhere about '-4smp' or something similar if you have a quad core??

    anyway heres fahmons screenshot:

    Any ideas? Thanks:)

    If you want big points from a q6600 you have to go down the vmware/notfreds route.

    It's easy & worth 3-4k ppd on a stock q6600.


    When you say you're not earning as many points as everyone else is, what are you basing that on?

    People are saying multiple thousands? 2-3k at least. Or is this not right? If i have to VM's to do it thats fair enough.

    I've never got more that 1800ppd from a q6600 at stock, usually less when running a gpu as well (especially an ATi one). You can usually double your ppd using vmware for it though.
    3-4k ppd from a Q6600 requires a hefty OC

    My Q6600's do about 1,700PPD using the WinSMP, and about 5,000PPD running native Linux.

    I'm only getting about 1100PPD running a Q6600 at stock, Windows XP, so your figure is reasonable.

    On my q6600 and q6700 @stock speeds with vmware 3 running one instance set @low priority I get 3k-4.5k and I run 1 gpu client with that as well and that gets around 5k they are mostly used for folding but they do get used for gamimng a fair bit lucky they never miss there deadlines

    Your best bet is to setup NotFred's VM it will give you alot more points and is pretty easy to use.

    also i think 1760 point SMP's are Core A1's?
    if that's the case then points will also be lower.

    there is a guide floating around on the forum but i can't seem to find it atm.

    You can download the VM image from here and you will need to download VMWare Player

    Load the vm up in the player and look for the IP address it picks up then navigate to that address in your browser in order to change name, team, etc.

    All my rigs are 'dedicated' 24/7 :hehe: Of the ten (5 WinXP, 5 Linux), the family only really use two .....
    The WinSMP ones also run dual GTX 260's (haven't got round to VM's yet ....) and are generally stock or stock+10% (GPU shaders also OC'd). The Linux machines are all slightly OC'd as well - the OC's are minimal since running cooler/slower hardware is better for the long haul than hotter/faster dead hardware ;)

    Cautiously optimistic about the power.

    One machine went down yesterday. I'm trying to convince myself this is a good thing because a) I'm using less electricity, and b) it's an opportunity to upgrade.
