Stock atm. When this WU has finished I'm going to try and install Ubuntu onto a USB stick, and try and get that working.
I'd say thats pretty good PPD then. Although the WU's points are a bit all over the place at the moment.
When the points were a bit more stable and I had my Q6600 running at 3.4ghz I was just a hair off 10k PPD. This was running under Windows and no GPU folding along side.

That sounds pretty good. I thought a Q6600 produced a lot less than that. OK this is a real noob question - the "Credit" for the WU says 585 points, so how does that correspond to 5k PPD that FahMon is showing?
The 585 is the base points for the WU. SMP WUs have a quick return bonus and the quicker stanford get the processed back the larger the bonus. Which is why PPD does not go up in a linier fashion with core speed.
My old Q6600 is much happier at 3.2 than 3.4 so thats what I had it running at 24/7 (and is still running at that in my dads PC). The Q6600 gets a bit of a hard time from some who have newer CPUs, but actually they are still pretty good as a mid end CPU when upto and above the 3ghz mark.

Yup, just a 16GB USB.
And as Riot said, use EXT3 instead of the defaul EXT4 as it seems to function better.
I'm using 10.10 as it has the Intel specific multi threaded kernels available and it seems to give a nice boost to PPD.
I used this as a basis of my install.. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1601608

OK, that's the guide I used to install to a HDD - so what you're saying is that I just do a normal install except install it to the USB drive instead? Is the loadup speed OK?

OK guys help me out here please, noob question alert.
According to this image there is 5549.26 PPD & Credit 585 points.
Now after I completed the WU, my stats are only showing 585 points - is this right? Or am I being too impatient & the stats need to take longer to filter through?
TIA.

Yeh that is right. How long did those 585 points take to complete? You will get those 5549.26 points in a 24 hour period (I'm pretty sure).

Started on 14/02/2012 - 11:50am & finished on 15/12/2012 - 12:40am - just under 13 hours & that's with a single stock Q6600 - is that any good? The system pulls 150W at the wall.

You need to complete 10 SMP units with a valid passkey before you start getting the bonus points. A pain I know. Just need to power through those first few.

Sorry dude, don't understand. Are you saying that I only earned 585 points for 13 hours folding?
F@H calculator bonus point calculator is a nice tool

Yeh, you will start getting the bonus points after 10 WU's. It's a bit of a bummer, but you should be fine after 10 WU's.
Basicly, yeah.
Once you have returned 10 work units and as long as your completion ratio is 80% or higher you will start to get the bonus points, which is when you will actully get your bonus points.
If you have a GPU you can fold with they also count towards your 10, which will get you your bonus points quicker.

OK guys if I press my desktop 2500K into service with the windows desktop client, what should I put in the client parameters in the advanced tab?
Thanks.
Easiest thing to do would be use GPU Tracker V2 as thats basicaly a GUI for the console client(s)
Not exactly the direct answer you were after. But if you decide to do a bit of GPU folding you can do both CPU/SMP and GPU via GPU Tracker
