ok, thanks

I don't think so - I've left mine running for weeks without touching it.

I don't suppose there's a way to pause?

  • SuperPI is my favourite game
crtl + c will shut the client down. Then you just start it back up like normal.

I need this to finish the WU it's on now and not upload another so I can change some things. How do I do that?

Hi guys i attempted to use this but did it wrong I installed the 1.6 image that I found reading this thread and typed in the bigadv code with smp 12 on my i5 2500k and received my first 6098 project and it seems my completion times are around 9something mins per percent. Is this any good bad or anyone know? I read some other threads on google and it seems people claimed to get around 7 mins or so this was in a VMplayer setup on windows 7 again i was not properly configured and I am pretty sure it only detected 4 cores with only 4 penguins on top.

I hope to set this up correctly tonight when the WU finishes is 6098 a bigadv or because EST time was 66 percent of a day for around 18k credits and around 20k ppd.


Settings for the VMware setup was 4 cores which is all i got an overclock of i5 2500k at 4.8ghz and I believe it has 4gb of ram give or take I can increase that to anything up to 14k if it would help please let me know thanks.

Trying to use the configuration screen thingy and after I hit submit, I'd get this:

110

Was it because I have a client going at the moment?
