i got F@H (F@H) installed as a service, and it should be automatically setting up so it would'nt use CPU power, when other applications are suing them right?
if so, it might be bugged, i was ripping a DVD today (yes it was legally done) and while running at full speed with the 8 gigs of movie. F@H (F@H) was using 100.000 k memory.... thus making the ripping slower and gave a worse result...
my question is why? and how? did that happen.
It may be using memory but it won't be using CPU power that any other application needs. I have my FAH modules set to use 90% each and that gives good folding with sufficient spare that other programs get a look in - I wouldn't recommend setting FAH to 100%.
If you have large WU's enabled it will use considerably more memory on your system. For PC's with less than 1GB, I would recommend disabling large WU's.

Same that I have at my work.
The boss was complaining that the computer was to lousy and to busy.
He said it was because of F@H (F@H) but he messed around with SpeedFan which I installed on his computer to monitor the heat in his computer.
I think it's set to 100% on my pc ... I've not really noticed anything going slow(er than usual)
Ooh, just thought of another thing, sometimes I do have to take F@H (F@H) off but that's only when I want to play BF2.
