You should be getting decent PPD out of that set-up. Can you post a screenshot of the client GUI?

WU 2653 is a 1760pt unit. These are some of the fastest folding SMP units. On an AMD x2 4850 I get 1% complete every 35 mins on that WU. You should easily get double that(or complete in half the time). Also, check the affinity/priority in task manager. Let me know what version of the client you are running(6.23 R1)?

Yep, SMP runs 4 instances. Everything looks fine. Any client progress yet?

getting a message now at least, run has entered a state from which no further progress can be made, says to check stability of my computer, so i guess i'll drop the speed down to stock and see if i continue to have problems

No, I'm folding on Vista x64. Did you follow the guide for setting up a Vista installation? Have a look at the second post in the stickied SMP setup thread.
