I intend to run the machine 24/7 to fold, currently it is running an SMP client [probably not set up properly] and a GPU client [which seems to be pumping out the units quite well].
I need a little help optimising my clients, I ran the CPU-Z and it shows:
Processor - Intel Core i7 740QM (4 core, 8 threads)
4096MB DDR3 Dual Channel Memory
NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M (1120 shaders, 1024 MB Memory)
Is my computer capable of effectively running the SMP client or should I stick with a few uniprocessor clients, also what would be the best way of configuring my clients considering I want to run it 24/7
Below are some snippets of the CPU-Z log, cheers for all your help
