When I was folding on my main pc rig it had one smp client, you would just install it and run it. Now I'm looking to start folding again and i see 2 clients deino and mpich. So which does the horde recommend I run ?

Hey cereal_killer24, that's a good question, one I'd like to know too. Which is better and what is the difference in the "deino" vs "mpich" :confused:

Would one of our local experts please chime in (you don't really need to be local or an expert, you just gotta' know the difference in the different versions and which is better) ;)

Thanks in advance :p

FOLD ON!

 
Pros of Deino :

-More stable and less sensitive to network issues.

Cons :

-doesn't work with a 64 bit OS.

Pros of MPICH :

-Works with both x32 and x64.
-Fast and well known.

Cons :

-Very sensitive to networking hiccups unless you run under Vista.

From my own opinion, both is good but I would be inclined to go toward MPICH for a easier setup.

 
Thanks for the help and the guide Xilikon. First wu I got is a 2653 :D doubt I will get another but better than some of the more chewy wu's.

Shame my 8800gtx can't fold. When I ran the gpu2 client card hit 82c and pc froze up shortly there after.
 
Do you have the 8800GTX OCed? If just at stock you may need to manually trun the fan up, perhaps with a program called Riva tuner (many other out there as well). Or if the cooling on the card is just poor an aftermaket solution may be added for not much $$$$. Would hate for a capable card to sit around and not be able to fold!! good luck.
 
I have fan set to 80% using rivatuner and it is stock. I was looking at aftermarket heatsinks for it and for the gtx most are pretty pricey. For the cost of the heatsink I can get a 8800gs which I am planning for a htpc/spare gaming/folding box.
 
Under clock the gpu. Even if the gpu is slowed down a bit it would still pump out some great points
 
You can also set the CPU usage down in the client so F@H won't load the GPU to the max.
