anyone else using this with vista64? If so can u give me your speed and times per step? I am gettin a step done in 18minutes! That is bad, double what I was getting with the vmware/kubuntu combo. I think maybe I am doing something wrong, will probably redo it later, and try again.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks?

Ya those times are slow i avg 9-10mins unless gaming then it bumps up to 13-18, cog he has a dual core not a quad only has 1 running or should only be running 1 vm.

ok, I think I got it now. I was using vmware workstation 6, not the server edition, u guys were using. I did not think it would matter but, it made a huge difference. Now I am doing a wu step in around 9minutes. I will probably fold using this method this month.

Thanks again, this is so easy to do, everyone with dual or quads should do this without hesitation.

hmm weird. maybe i did not have it setup right with workstation. I am still newbish settin this stuff up. I kinda like this web based one though, may use it.

I have another issue, i powered off the arch vm and I lost my wu. I reopened it thinking it will continue where it left off and now it is downloading another one.

you need to shutdown arch befor just powering it off like any vm machine thiers a chance to lose work if you dont shut it off right. I usualy ctrl c folding then shutdown -h now.

Ok, yeah I just powered off the vm. I seen the ctrl c in an earlier post but didnt think to do it. I will try that now and see how it goes.

Cool Bal3, cntrl c worked like a charm. I am off to folding again. Just hope the BSOD stays away lol, hate losing wu's.

Just broke into the top 500 at 492nd place, if only the second smp would send & update itself, I would be flying.
