I have started to fold with this client but its just sitting on the "Completed 0 out of 500000 steps" normally on the other client it was doing one every 20 mins (atleast). Can some one fill me in with this?

Is the 805D at stock?

It's a bit underpowered to run the SMP client if it is. You'd be better off doing 2 of the console clients.

Define two of the console clients, it is stock atm just because of this shitty board, :evil: :evil:

Run 2 separate instances of the text based console client.
Change the machine ID to be different on each FAH settings, and keep them in separate folders so their work doesn't get muddled up.
(Easiest way to change settings, is create a shortcut to the FAH program, and change the path on the shortcut properties to include -config on the end.)

There you go.

Change the advanced settings on the first run so that the machine ID's are different for each console.
