Folding on Q6600 with SMP

Alright, I got my Q6600 in and I want to SMP fold on two cores and leave the other two cores for my 2 GPU2 clients, is there any way to do this from within the client?

Sure. What I used to do was to set affinity to cores 0 & 1 on the SMP client. Then you can set affinity to core 2 for one GPU2 client. And core 3 to the other GPU2 client.
You can also run 2 SMP clients and the 2 GPU2 clients for the max points. Just use a priority program to set the GPU2 clients to HIGH and leave the SMP clients to normal or idle priority.

That is what I thought, just making sure I don't need to add a command into the client itself

I would suggest using VMware and Ubuntu for SMP. You will get the most points and its probably the easiest to monitor the cores (Vmware only runs on two cores).

Excellent idea Mort. He is absolutely correct huntman. I used that setup myself.
