I'm downclocked to 3.2 because the heat was building up (until I get my 900). I was seeing like 11 min 25 sec @ 3.4, but @ 3.2 I'm seeing about 12 min 24 sec.

Frosty twisted up a very nice how to.

Maybe we can cajole him into posting it here.

I've been running it on my main winders box for months and what's really cool is if I get a 302X wu on Linux I can run my GPU at the same time bumping ppd up a bunch. The GPU really suffers if I get a 260X it goes from about 8 mins a frame to 30 mins but the vmware perf stays good.

I've got something better I'm working on. It avoids the windows overhead that VMware suffers from, and goes direct to the hard ware. If I can get it to work I'll post a "how to"

if you guys write up a how-to and would like it posted on the main page let me know (unless you want to keep it low key).

Thanks Iceman, but no longer am I in the top 30....should fall to 32 by tomorrow....when you pass me up.

It's nice to see people folding like crazy though. We are moving on up through the ranks.

Pardon the wake as Shad and the Baitfish move through.

We'll try to keep it down to a dull uproar.
