From what I've seen, the SMP version has a few warts, but runs reasonable well on my Mac. I don't have any experience on the Windows or Linux versions, but I think they said that the Windows SMP beta uses a different engine (non-Unix-based) and may have different problems. Digiblur appears to be running it on at least one of his AMD boxes, so maybe he can let you know how best to set up for it.
Regarding the WU names, I'd check out the FAQs on their website. Dstrouth, your question sounds like this one about getting the same protein.
The Faq for the SMP says to use it on 4 ways. Which would be the Core 2 Quad or Q designated processors. Im using a 6600 and have 2 seperate consoles running.
According to task Manager the SMP runs 4 processes so it's optimized to run up to Quad core but a dual core will run 2 processes on each core (that's what I'm doing).

My GUI finished it 1st WU this morning so I shut it down and will just run the SMP.

I think we can go higher than 1000
maybe even 500 
Yep but we need more members to join in. I've seen less than 20 members in the group. Some of you have some powerful machines.
While we're making good progress, we have a long way to go. I downloaded the complete team stats database this morning (as of 3-Apr-2007 11:00 UTC), and here are our stats and those from some of the milestone teams ahead of us:stone phillips420 said:

I think we'll crack the top 5000 in the next couple of days; the top 4000 will take maybe two weeks. If we can get more members to participate, I think the top 1000 can be achieved by the end of the year.
One Milestone Past, How Soon to 4000?
Edit: Boy, I think Stanford needs some more servers. Busy, busy, busy...
Okay, well, I suppose "technically", today is "in the next couple of days", but Woo-Hoo! We've broken into the top 5000: Currently SatelliteGuys.US is 4899th of 58057 teams.

I left my machine on at work - so it should be going for the next 12 hours non-stop; and the desktop is cranking away too...
But yes, the Stanford servers rarely respond to the stats...

They made an announcement in their forum that they were updating the stats system. I don't think it went too well because ever since Monday, the stats server is down.
http://forum.folding-community.org/
"We are going to take the stats down for several hours at 10am pacific time on Monday April 2 (today). We need to make updates to the stats system for v6 and test that these updates are working. When we go back on-line, we will hopefully have the upgdraded stats working and would then be ready to launch v6. We are keeping a backup of the stats, such that we can at any time revert to the old stats system if there are any bugs in the code. So, the stats data is very much safe during this transition, but there may be some unforseen problems (it's hard to predict those). This is actually mostly unrelated to all the stats work done last week to improve performance for the PS3."

Speaking of the PS3, F@H has a thread on their Forum that discusses people who bought a PS3 just to fold.

I put one box on it a couple of days ago. I have a new dual-dual core Xeon coming that I might spin up a couple as well.

LER,
Maybe Scott would sign off on the SatGuys servers doing some background folding...
All scott has to do is say the word
LER
(oh, and it's ONE HONKER of a Server
)
Interesting idea, but not at this time we are still having our strange server load problem. So I wouldnt do it until after that is fixed.
