Got my new 4400 X2 coming tomorrow, so I'll probably set up my new rig on Sunday. Just have a couple of questions that I didn't see answered in the other forums.

(1) Can I run two instances of F@H (i.e. one for each core)? If I do this, do I need to download two consoles into two separate directories or how does it work?

(2) I'm only running 1 GB of Ram. Would it be wise to upgrade to two gigabytes? I read about what happened to OC-AMD and don't really want to bring my desktop to it's knees. I don't know if X2's will get the same WU's as dual Xeons, but otherwise I'll just run one instance of F@H.

(3) How long will it take with a few more X2s to show those Australians some [H]ard Folding Power?

thanks
 
1.) Multiple CPU/Core/HT Guide

2.) If you plan on running both with big WU's and -advmethods, maybe, but the preveiling line of thought is to run one big unit, and one normal one as not to kill your memory bus.

3.) Hopefully not much, so get them things folding once you get it running! ;)

 
AMD's can't get the QMD cores so my guess is just flip the big packets on and cruch some OCAU arse!

Load it up, play a game and see if you notice.
