New FAH Beta Client

[Condor]

New FAH Client 4.0 Beta available here (http://folding.stanford.edu/beta/beta.html)

From the change log, it now supports up to 8 machine IDs on a single box an improvement for dial-up users, has -forceSSE (case sensitive) flag to replace -forceasm and improved methods for returning work units to Stanford servers.

The jury is still out on whether this client is any faster not.

I guess this shouldn't be the case. The calculation is done by the core, not the program. I don't know if it's coincidence but after upgrading I've only seen Tinkers instead of those lovely Gromacs. I'm considering changing back...

That would make sense. Since the core has not changed there would not be any speed improvements.

I changed a few clients to "-local -forceSSE -advmethods" and recieved Gromacs the next few times.
