I checked my program file and it has two cores(FahCore_78 and FahCore_65) in there and I think this is my problem. So which one do I get rid of and which one do I keep.

Make sure that same shortcut with -advmethods and -forceasm target is in your startup folder and you won't have to

Thanks, I will put it there. Edit: to say it worked.

I noticed that when I run 3.24 instead of the 3.25 beta, it will say "Extra 3DNow Boost OK"... but when I use the 3.25 it says "Extra SSE Boost OK" but not 3DNow. Is there some way to force 3DNow to work too?

Oh and Speedy, I figure this CPU will last me easily until I'm done with it, even if I ran it at 2.1v. I will have a new one within one year. But I'm guessing at 2.00v if temps were decent and consistent, the processor would last at least 5 years.

For an AMD cpu the WU time is 15-20% faster using SSE over 3DNow; stick with SSE

So, I'm assuming you can't have 3DNow! and SSE optimizations at the same time?

Correct its either or and you definitely want the latter

Totally awesome link we must all bookmark
Folding Rankings
The main stanford page only keeps the top 100 this does to top 2K at least. We're moving up very rapidly and looking at the 1300-1600 guys we should be able to leap frog most of them. For example as of this post we had jumped over 115 team in the past 24 hours. Last week we scored over 1700 points and within the next week with our growing number I'm expecting 2000-2500 points that would put us round about in the lower 14xx's depending on what other teams do. There's only three teams between us an 1400 which out scored us last week and only eight between us and 1000 and I'm confident we can improve. We do need more rigs for sure though. I'm now sort of able to use one computer at work on the days I work during my work hours. Its not much but its maybe another 50-100 points a week and every little bit helps. Even if we merely doubled what we're currently doing that'd be massive. So everybody get one friend to jump on board.
#1000 is currently between 13-14K and we're just over 6K in two weeks. #1000 will probably be between 14-15K by the time we hit it but at our rate I'm sure we'll crack the top 1K before Thanksgiving.

Actually upon further review based solely on the past 24 hous we've scored more points than any team in the 900-1700 range. At this revised rate we could just top 1K in just another week or two

awesome saps...i added the link to my ever-growing sig...:D

Wow, I like that link, thanks saps. Includes detailed team stats too... cool. :D

I'm moving up in the ranks on our team page... wewt! :)

Now we need to convince everyone that 5 WU turned into the Sharkys folding team is the minimum proof required for a stable OC. ;)

6 here and soon to be 7.

when it says you have 3 active processors, that means you have 3 computers folding for ya, right lonewolf?

No, I don`t know what that means, I just got my one and only computer going at this time. After the first of the year though, I hope to take what parts I have laying around and fix up two more computers, that I will run 24/7, I`m just running mine right now from 10 to 12 hours a day. It could be it thinks that seeing as I have been installing and uninstalling folding at home and starting up again. BTW, I don`t know why but I am still running under the 3.24 client even though I have installed the 3.25 beta. Edit to add as long as I`m getting the SSE boost, I`m just not going to mess with it anymore.
