move wu to new machine?

[drgnfang]

Hey all,
I'm getting ready to shutdown my main boxen so I can finish my rebuild (and finally get my 8800gt running). I've an SMP wu that will take roughly another 7-8 hours to complete and I don't really want to wait on it. Can I just copy the work folder and queue.dat file over after I reinstall? I'm at 31% and would rather not loose the science (or the points for that matter).

Yes, the work folder and queue.dat is all you need to copy over. It has worked every time that I've tried it, but YMMV so keep a backup copy in case it doesn't work the first time.
