Default Been folding for a few weeks and could use some pointers

I started folding a few weeks ago (March 27th) and could use some pointers. Here are my current stats:

http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...hp?s=&u=442783

I'm running the GPU2 client on both GPU cores and am getting about 15K PPD. When I run the SMP in VMware for the CPU, I get about 4.5K PPD. But I notice a slight drop in one of the GPU core's PPD when running SMP. Is there something I should be doing with priority settings to optimize?

I had the same prob when I was vmware smp folding along with gpu folding. Only way to get gpu ppd back is to set the priority of gpu folding client to realtime.

For some reason just having the gpu priority higher than the vmware didn't help and only setting on realtime would show improvement.

I use a software called SetPriority and set up a rule so it will automatically set it when gpu client is running.

Thanks, I downloaded it, but got errors when I tried to set the GPU to rral time. I'll keep messing with it!

.....brain is moving too slow, but I use a program that gives priority to the gpu...but I can't for the life of me think of the program.
