I prefer the service on both cores, I fold 24/7 so I don't want to worry about it.

Running the graphical version of F@H eats up processor cycles, whereas the console version is a stripped down, no nonsense version of the client. If your only intent is to crank out as many WU's as possible, go with the console version. If you aren't that anal about WU's and like the eye candy, stick with the graphic version instead. =)

Personally, I ran the graphical version on my main rig, and client versions on all others I installed F@H on.

Console, always.




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

I'm a console user for another team (my company's ), and will always use it, as I want to crank out those WUs left, right and center!

On my Dual Core, Dual CPU and Linux Box I run Console, on my laptop I run GUI for no real reason, except thats what I installed first over a year ago.

The console version on all machines running it. I think of it like a set it and forget it. They run 24/7 and I never give it much thought.
