Done and thanks.

Honestly, I'd rather have the smaller WU's, and do more of them, vs one big one.
If you've ever worked with RAR files being downloaded via torrent or dialup net connection, you will be sadly reminded of how much it sucks to have a HUGE (corrupted) single file, versus manageable parts that you can get from another place, or re-download.

Like having to re-download all 8GB, or 256MB of that 8GB. The choice is quite clear.

I'm not sure if HFM can be configured to monitor multiple machines Affiliate Code: BX8CHGN9FW \| CPU-Z \| GPU-Z

Its not that bad. its a 4.5hour wu which is about double from last. Doesn't mean we will get it all the time. And on top of it they threw in a bonus 1k to the mix. For me it used to be 1.3k a wu x2 its 2.6(for time wise) and throw on a bonus 1.2k for a longer wu is worth it. Now with the extra heat.. not so much. I personally don't think I could fold over summer with my gpus anymore. I'd be most definitely hitting 90c+ with the fans even at 100 im sure lols. But I guess I can agree they need to toss these into the advmethods box or make a middle section to opt in for these.

if they´re all withn the same network, you can use hfm.net
http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=410857
or you can use it to upload it to a web page and have it displayed there, if you want to monitor them whilst you´re away.
