Do not fold on laptops unless you have very good cooling for them in a well ventilated area. Trust me, because I almost killed my laptop folding on it.

I downloaded the FAH GPU Tracker V2 - Home
I'm so lost. I seem unable to enable anything in this program. At least this one isn't a command prompt.

Edit: I think I got it working now. Should I use ATI 700 or ATI 800 for force GPU selection?
I'm currently using ATI 700.

Last time I checked it isn't even worth it using ATI GPUs.

I think you are right. I'm getting 2,683 PPD
Compared to lower end Nvidia cards...

Mike what is the smp file for Folding, at the Minute am Running Ver.0.6.2 Build.336 of the HFM.NET, I think this is a Client for Monitoring the PPD and other stuff I think for example.. But I've taken a Big interest in Folding, But must confess I havent done to Much over the Past 2-3 Weeks in reading for example to clue me self up..

I have 3 Dedicated Michines that are Running 24\7, Two Laptops and a Tower System hear at Home.. The Tower System is an Old P4, with XP Home, But the Two Laptops\Notebooks are Running Professional and Home Premium..


Also: I dont pay for the Electroisity..

Edit: The Tower System is a P4, with a bair Minimum of 256 Memory and XP with onbord Graphics. The Second System is a Lenovo Core 2 Duo CPU @ 2.10 @ 2.10 with 3 GB Memory and Onbord Graphics and 7 Professional.

Like mguire said and the rest, try not to fold on a lappy not unless you have epic cooling underneath and you have fire insurance just incase your lappy explodes like a thermal nuke bomb!
