ok running the client now.. seems to run without probs, was easy to install and get up and running.

It is crunching on project 2610 tho *hmm* not in the projectlist as far as i can see, i wonder how many points it's worth :P

A bit more info... seems we have some new beta projects for the windows smp client
( info found here: http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?p=2010748 )

Project 2610: 1523 points, deadline 4 days
Project 2651: 1760 points, deadline 4 days
Project 2652: 1148 points, deadline 3 days

Initial testing looks good, seems to run around the same speed the linux smp client does, so should be a very nice ppd increase for those of you running several single core clients atm if you switch.

Project 2610 seems to do 1% approx every 15 minutes on my system, which means 1 wu every 25 hours which translates to 1462 PPD.

I ran one work unit through. That is it for now, the size of the WU's to upload are 20MB or more I found out. Not fun trying to upload on a satellite connection with only 7KB/sec max upload rate!

Once I get my parts back from RMA and am running full steam again, my X1900XT running the GPU client and 1 normal CPU client gets me about the same PPD without the massive uploads. At school the upload size doesn't matter much but home it does.

Have a look at the sister thread ;) http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=137645 posts 12-14. There's a readme file in the program folder with more details too. Good luck :up:
