Can I run Folding@home when SETI@home is running?
Yes, Seti@Home and other distributed applications can be run alongside Folding@Home, provided you have enough system memory. Some programs, including Seti@Home run at a higher priority than Folding@Home, which prevents Folding@Home from progressing if it is run at the same time. If you notice that Folding@Home is not progressing, you can fix this by enabling the “Slightly Higher Priority” Option in Folding@Home. This can be done through the advanced options page for the Windows client, or by running “FAH2Console -config” for the console versions.

If you notice the FAH client is not progressing, you can fix this by enabling the “Slightly Higher Priority” Option in the FAH client. This can be done through the advanced options page for the Windows GUI client, or by running the Console client with the -config switch. Note: FAH work units are time sensitive, while work units from other projects typically are not time sensitive. Therefore we strongly recommend giving the FAH client a higher priority, or to dedicate a processor core to FAH while allowing other projects to use the remaining computer resources.
