For new, multicore CPU Folders, be aware that SMP WUs have bonus points, with more bonus points the faster you finish the WU. However, the bonuses only come into effect after you have completed 10 SMP WUs. It is also advised not to switch to -bigadv Folding until you have qualified for these bonuses.
Again, you will need to submit 10 SMP WUs before you begin getting bonus points.
What you need....
1. V7 client, download links.
2. [OUTDATED] HFM - Optional but highly recommended. - Guide
(Direct download)
3. A Folding passkey from Stanford. You can request one from here. This is not needed if you are only Folding on GPUs. However, it is essential for the SMP/Unicore clients.
Example
Basic SMP setup
1) Run the install file for the Folding client.
When prompted, choose "Custom install" then select "Install just for me"
2) Now, install the client to the default location, but in the next option save the Data Folder to C:\\Program Files (x86)\\FAHClient\\Data
A warning will appear, just ignore it and click Ok.
