Look at the EM notice below. Are their any advantages to letting EM start the Folding clients, versus the Windows XP Startup folder?

    You could launch multiple clients by just launching the program. You can also set it so that EM3 closes F@H when it shutdown.

    Well yes, I understand that. Is there any advantage to having EM start multiple clients rather than the Startup folder starting multiple clients?

    When you close it for any reasong like gaming or benchmark, you just launch EM3 and it'll start F@H too.

    Heresy, heresy I say! :hair: I never shutdown Folding clients! Well, er, yes I do sometimes; when I make major software configuration changes or run certain utilities.

    OK, I see the advantage.

    Actually, for AV I use F-Prot because it scans 100,000+ files in about 12 minutes while the box folds.... I also defrag the HD in Windows XP using XP's defragger while folding. In your case, kill all but one or two clients, bet you can fold and do most system functions while folding. Barton box is slower than the P4 box, but pretty stable.

    John D.-- who wants hyper-fast AND stable. :D SO, the Barton box is gonna morph and become a P4 HT box.
