low PPD on my Q6600?

well, just got into Folding again after a little 'pause', and decided to set up my GPU and CPU client.. FahMon tells my 8800GT is getting a nice 4000-4500PPD, but my SMP client, on Q6600 is getting around 1500PPD according to FahMon.. i remember seeing people with much higher PPD's on stock Q6600 (my Q6600 is on stock at the moment for temp tesing on a new case layout).. i have set it up correctly (i believe) and its using all it can on all 4 cores..

A bit more info please...
Are you using one CPU client on all four cores?
Or are you using 2 clients w/each on 2 cores and if so you may need to set the affinity for the best results.

well.. if you read carefully, i talk about "SMP client" and not "SMP clients".. but to be clear, just 1 client on all 4 cores

you mean CPU cores? all are 100%, and the GPU client and backround tasks use 5-10%..

Looks like you just got a massive wu. Since it takes longer to complete your ppd goes down but other than that looks like everything is set up correctly.
