SMP client:  now beta testing...
News from Stanford...

We are now testing the SMP client with Folding@Home beta testers (beta testers can find more information in the beta testing forum). The SMP client supports OSX/Intel natively (which means a major points boost for OSX donors) as well as 64-bit linux (with 32-bit linux hopefully to come soon). Windows support will come much later, as this is a very different architecture for porting than OSX & Linux

and some GPU news

Multi-gpu client now beta testing
We have released the multi-gpu client on our download page. More information about how to run multiple gpu clients can be found at this fahinfo page (we will eventually host this on our site).
