As the saga continues, we join Courine in the quest for getting her dual core running on both of them for the HCC project. It all started back......
----------------------------------------"While im cooking my brains out, does anyone here have a duel core machine running win98se? This machine was linux, but until the new linux HCC problem can be worked out, i can use an old copy of 98se in the meantime. I have it running, but the second core seems to be not working. Is it known that this configuation works: 98se/2 cores/boinc?" Edit: The answer is no. It will boot, but will see only 1 core. Next question is "Does NT4 work with multicore machines?"

Unless I am greatly mistaken, Windows 98 simply doesn't know about the second core. Nothing to do with BOINC.

Your right Didactylos, windows 9x does not do SMP.

If I remember correctly, Courine has a copy of NT which should support dual core, but I don't know if any other drivers will be needed for your MB.

You need an older version of BOINC as support for W95/NT4 was dropped. Think it ended with 5.8.16
----------------------------------------Added: Yes it is and here's the download link: http://boincdl.ssl.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_5.8.16_windows_intelx86.exe @KLiK, probably courine does not own a legal copy of W2K or WXP (for installation on additional PCs).

Darn!
----------------------------------------I'll look and see if I can get a cheap copy of xp somewhere. I just need this machine to be a big landisk. It needs only be seen as a shared folder in my net. If nt works for this, would it be a problem running older boinc versions. And will HCC work on older code? |

5.10 is just a large gloss up, so 5.8.16, link above works fine. You don't need any of the bells to crunch any of the WCG projects.

good!
---------------------------------------- I'll let the current WU finish. Then try NT again. If the disc is bad, I can get a backup copy from a friend. BTW Sek, Want to help with the team challenge invitationals in jan.? It will be like the "christians vs dutch power cows" race. I will write thread as I did in the past. Send me an email, I can fill you in on the rest. [Edit 1 times, last edit by courine at Nov 22, 2007 10:14:01 PM] |
