Cerianly not with a 2.2GHz P4, heh..

Why would he uninstall the client? I just don't understand the unwillingness of people to run these programs...

Chicken Patty · Jun 22, 2010

I'm with you on that hat.

I have a question. I haven't tried it yet , but I have a Pentium 4 2.2Ghz machine running Windows Server 2003. Will it run the Boinc client just like any other os? Is there anything I should know?

BONIC works fine with Windows Server. I had four Xeon´s crunching at one point under the 2008 version.

Well it is his computer, not mine and I think he get tired of suspending it when he wants to game. And I know a single core 2.2Ghz is not much...it'll only put out half of what his would but again, it all helps, right?

And Boinc client will not install on a domain controller

Oh well.

Chicken Patty · Jun 22, 2010

Not blaming you at all here, its his computer and we know you don't control what he does with it. However, this is the mistake most people make.

But if you look at it from a points standpoint then it's not a lot. But if you look at it from a distributed computing standpoint then evey bit is worth it. Little bit here, little bit there. A lot of work can get done and that little bit a P4 could have done, could have been the difference in figuring something out or not.

If you tell me the games/apps he plays I can custom create a cc_config.xml file that will auto suspend BONIC/WCG what ever game/app he starts and start back up when he finishes. :toast:

I just leave WCG on when I play... doesn't make a bit of difference.

Is it possible to reduce the CPU use to say the default 60% whilst a certain application is running? Or can it only be suspended/resumed?

Chicken Patty · Jun 23, 2010

I can't seem to find the link, but somewhere it was posted that there is something you can do to disable BOINC I believe when in 3dmode or something. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

KieX · Jun 23, 2010

I was looking more for a solution to throttle than disable. I can run most games with Boinc set to 100% without noticing, but Just Cause 2 seems to stutter sometimes unless I reduce the CPU use to 60-70%.

Think FordGT90 was looking into something similar a while back, although I don't know if he's had any luck.

Some games I can play and some I get occaisional lag. For example Crysis and DDO I can. Trackmania I can't. His is a AMD X2 250Ghz and he plays Mass Effect 2 and the framerate suffers. Anyway he agreed to put it back on lol

He was cleaning up disk space and thought it was something else.

Yes Kiex you can put the default to 60% by going to "preferences" then "other options" at the bottom of the preferences dialogue box.

Ah sorry, meant to have something automated through cc_config.xml rather than have to do what you described. It's a bit of a drag having to do that each time I go in/out of Just Cause

Sorry looking for a lazy man's solution :shadedshu.. that and I sometimes forget to change it back to 100% after

Thank for the offer Mindweaver, and good to talk to you again. wouldn't it be a good idea to have one for any TPU Team member who would want it as well?

Velvet Wafer · Jun 23, 2010

my first avatar change since over 12 months has just happened

i preffered something indigo-themed (or to be more specific, Pleiadian)

The Ultimate Destruction a Nuclear Device will bring, didnt fit right in the pic (you know, me beeing the good guy, the helper,that creates, and not destroys :laugh:

Very true! :toast:

That is why I am working on a big update for my Easy WCG_config utility. I hope to have it complete in a few weeks, but in the mean time I would alter the current one to add the ones you need. :toast:

Oh and great talking to you too my friend! :respect:

I would like to thank KieX as well for my Kick ass new avatar! :respect:

I was begining to lose hope.. :laugh:

With the new Avatar I may try and add a few more rigs! Currently I have 26 rigs Crunching Strong! Not including the 3 rigs I have crunching for Stanley! :rockout:

Oh and Velvet Wafer great avatar bro! :toast:

but i do still like your old avatar.. your radiator is the only one to tame that blast! :roll:

@KieX
I believe you can only stop WCG, but I will find out. This would be a nice feather for my Utility. :toast:

Looks like My X6 is putting out almost as much points as my i7 yet it was down when I got home today. not sure why, I primed the rig and it passed a few hours. maybe power outtage and it's not set to power back on??

ChaoticAtmosphere · Jun 23, 2010

Yep, liking the new avatar's too guys!! :toast:

Been thinking of changing mine too but not sure what I want yet. :confused:

And CP, hope it's nothing major. Probably isn't.

naw it's running. I'm just having some boot MGR issues that are driving me nuts, :banghead:

p_o_s_pc · Jun 23, 2010

kinda related to crunching as i am asking about a rig that crunches
would getting a 2nd pump for my loop be better then a NBmax block for the chipset/mosfet(connected by heatpipe) or should i just get both? the rig in question is in system specs.

EDIT:i7 is down for now. I am working on the loop.
