yep
My rig will be here tomorrow.
I think you just need to run one instance only and run "fah6 -smp 8 -bigadv". For 2009 Mac Pro use "-smp 15" instead of 8 and make sure HyperThreading is on (it is by default I think).
Make sure you accept big WU in the config (pretty sure you do already for SMP Folding), and you can delete the core to get the new 2.11 version (might do it by itself anyway).
I would not run it on the quad 2.66 but the other two should work, your PPD is going to skyrocket.
Last you need to activate the passkey, which you might already have (I did a long time ago somehow).

That's the thing that threw me, what's a passkey? If I have one, I don't remember what it is (been folding for 3+ years)

Very easy.
Thanx for the info... I might give it a whirl
the 2x 2.26 dual quad core are print production machines (at work- CS3 & Quark)
the 1x 2.66 quad core is a future print production machine (currently in my office, but will be going to another office and won't be folding much longer)
the 2.8 dual quad core is my home machine which I use for print production & video encoding (DVD & BR conversion for my aTVs)
oh nice.
well my stats are going to start going down now. i had a power outage, and now my VMs won't connect to the internet. have no idea why
Get em fixed!
I haven't seen a "threat" in my rearview mirror since the beginning of the summer

well i've got a VM running ubuntu that i finally got working. we'll see how it goes.
haha, just give me a little over 8 years at this pace, and i'll catch you
but don't count on me keeping this pace. i will as long as i can thoughwell i've got a VM running ubuntu that i finally got working. we'll see how it goes.

Don't worry about catching me (just keep at it)
You'll be top ten in no time

haha, yeah i'm not that worried. just trying to do my part.
i might try the bigadv units. we'll see
You also need to replace the fah6 executable file by this one
http://www.stanford.edu/~kasson/folding/osx/fah6
you need to download it by right clicking and change the name to fah6, you also might make the file executable (I didn't have to).
43 mins for the first frame, I was expecting 40 mins or better so not great...
Still, 3 days turn-around, should be 16.5k PPD with the 100% bonus, 20k total PPD with the other computers, enough to claim the #1 cruncher spot until Lyzardking turn on the big guns.

nice. i'm still having connection issues. hopefully they won't stay like this for long though. i might have to get a new router soon
i hate those. i've had one this week as well. in fact, my system / network hasn't been the same since the power outage here.
Almost 3 days to complete? (if my math is right)
I might have to try this out.....
Question: You had a past problem with a unit not restarting, right? I fear that's why I loose a unit every so often (not being taken down "nicely")
