GPU Folding along with SMP

I was wondering if SMP folding along with GPU folding would be wise? I remember when GPU folding would peg out a core, but I don't know about this time around, would it even be worth it in terms of gaining more points?

I've been away for a good while before getting back around so any information would be nice, thanks.
 
It works for me but its not a "Set and Forget" setup.
The way I've done it is ........
Set the affinity of each client to its own core.
Then depending on how well DX9 shifts fully to the GPU core, that depends on how much of a slow down you get of the SMP client.
I get a slow down from ~16 mins/frame -> ~24 mins/frame.
This drops me around ~500 PpD but the GPU gains me ~700 PpD for an overall gain of ~200 PpD.
The GPU client will stay on its own core as each new protien starts but the SMP client wont.
Hence the not "Set & Forget" bit.
If you do run a setup like this then you still be able to get the SMP client back before the first deadline otherwise its not good for Stanford.

Luck ....... :D
