Core priority

I want to make sure that if both are running, the GPU client should be set to core priority of "slightly higher"? The SMP client should be kept at low?
 
The SMP client is still slow after the change, do I need to restart it?

Also, the GPU client is running a lot faster than the GPU client on my other rig which has the same card (Radeon 3450). The only difference is that the one that is running faster has the dell drivers installed.

Edit: just noticed that the SMP client has stalled ever since I changed the core priority of the GPU client which is going a lot faster than my other rig. Under Task Manager I noticed one of them was Normal, the other Low, I changed both to Low as on my other rig.
 
What CPU do you have?

Don't use Task Manager to adjust priority. Re-Configure the client. If you did reconfigure then yes you have to restart the client for it to read the config file ... wait ... what client are you running? I think the console client has to be stopped before you can reconfigure it 😕
 
This is on a E8400 with Radeon 3450 running Vista 32. Yeah, for the console client, I stop it, then run it with -configonly, once I'm done, I take that out. I set the SMP client to idle, and the GPU to 'slightly higher'. The GPU client runs fine (actually faster than my E9650 rig with the same card), the SMP client on the E8400 does not run at all. Looking at the folding forums, they talk about setting some environment variables, maybe I need to try that out.
