OK I have read a few threads in here about the HT. I have a AMD 2600@2224 that runs 100% all the time. However When I fold on my Laptop it only shows it at like 52%. My Laptop is a P4 2.8 HT 800FSB with 512 DDR400. I was wondering why it only shows as a 52% load. Is my laptop thermal throttling kicking in or does it have something to do with the Hyper Threading? Also I see a few of you fold 24/7 on your laptops. Does this affect the lifespan of your laptop? I know when mine has a load it gets HOT!!! and the squirrel cage fans kick in and its loud. What is the life span and is there some way I can set it up as to not damage anything. I do have the 3 year Parts and labor warranty from Dell. I have over 2 years left. I have a Dell Inspiron 9100 (9lb boat anchor) 2.8 HT 512 DDR and mobility radeon 9700. Thanks for the support and glad to be on the #1 folding team. I folded for a long time without a team, glad to have someplace to congregate. My garden is a 2600 AMD, 500MHZ AMD, P3 450 and the 2.8 Laptop. I have borged 2 PC's at work but may lose them as thye are supposed to be shutdown overnight for security reasons. Any Ideas to keep these up chime in.

 
Technically, your laptop, although reporting lower usage, is folding @ 100%. Due to the HT, it doesn't list properly between the two processors. To have a 100% usage listed, you need to have two separate clients folding at the same time, using the local flag (more information on that flag here). I imagine that the heat would be an issue, as you don't want to fry your laptop. Instead of running two clients, you might be best advised to fold, just at a lower amount of cpu usage as not to generate too much heat. The way to do that using the console client can be found here. Welcome to the team!

 
I suggest putting CPU usage to no more than 75%. And whatever you do, do not put the laptop on your lap, as said laptop will burn you in some mission critical areas. ;)

If you didnt know ;) this is a "bad" thing... as opposed to a girl you just borged sitting on your lap... thats a "good" thing :eek:
