OK - I now have all three computers going! This is the best Crhistmas present EVER! I get to help fight disease by doing nothing, and it's free!
Is there any way have more than one client running on the same (Windoze) computer?

I'll get the title, but just to get others involved. (don't really care about title for myself). This is a great project, and so easy to do! (kind of fun, too!)
One client on a machine can use 100% of the CPU, so multiple clients won't really work very well.
awsum - thanks for the info. Guess if I want to contribute more, I'll have to save up and get more CPUs (meaning computers) LOL!
Just get a good graphics card in one of your machines. A good GPU can do 20 to 40 times the work that a quad core CPU can do.
Not to mention it can cause a bit of a temperature issue for some systems.
That's exactly what I'm finding. After 9 months I finally moved into the #9 team spot. For now I'm averaging about 100k points a day, with about 85k of that coming from a GTX770.
I just bought 2 nvidia GTX 970's. Each deliver ~270k ppd. There's a driver issue that cripples them with core 18 wu's but Pande group today has announced that core 18's will not be assigned to these cards until the driver issues are worked out by nvidia.
Is this why my daily points has dropped an average of 30,000 points in the past week or so? My GPU is GTX 770.
That problem supposedly only affected the Maxwell series of Nvidia cards. However Pande in the last week has been assigning obsolete core 15 projects that have no quick return bonus points. Maybe that's what's affecting you. None of my AMD/ATI cards are seeing any of this.
I've said it before, for nVidia folding, you should be using driver version 327.xx
There is no driver for the Maxwells that gets around the problem with core 18's. It's known problem that Nvidia is aware of but has not yet addressed with a new driver.
BTW driver 344.16 seems to work best with the Maxwell cores. Coincidentally I got home from work and had a notification from Nvidia of a new driver release. The brief release notes I read mentioned bug fixes among other things but no specific mention of the problems affecting fah. So at the moment I don't know if this is the promised fix or not.

WTH!! Thanks for that. It prompted me to take a look just to be sure that I was running 327.23, which is what I installed 6 months ago. Lo and behold, I've been running 340.52. Not sure how or when it was installed, but hopefully it'll help get my daily numbers back up.
Thanks.
Gotta be careful with Windows Update. It periodically wants to install a newer driver if you let it. I set it to download updates but I choose what gets installed and when.
Yeah, never let Windows just auto install updates.
And sorry for not clarifying that the driver version 327.xx was for pre-Maxwell GPU's.

Using the 344.16 driver on my MSI Gaming 970's I'm getting 35k points for a 9201 core 17 project that takes a little over 3 hours to complete. I'm able to overclock via MSI Afterburner one gpu core to 1512mhz stable. The second one in a different I7 machine gets flaky if I push it past 1500mhz. I haven't attempted to overclock the memory as the general consensus is that you generally will start to see fah errors resulting in bad wu's once turned in when you mess with the memory clock speeds..
Yeah OC'ing the RAM does nothing for F@H. It's all about the cycles!
In other news, last month electricity bill was $160, this month's is $200!! I'm going to swap my GPUs and shut down one machine until I get through winter.

Anyone want to buy my 24 core, dual Xeon big rig? I'm looking to downsize severely.
Gawd, I'd love to Nach, but with the existing funds situation, there's no way I can afford it. 
I've had to withdraw from the team for a short spell until I get something better to leave running all the time. The host complained about me running it on the VPS, and the notebook MUST last for as long as I can make it last. Once I get a desktop up and running, I'll start in again.
