I am trying to install on my 3rd rig in system specs and I get this error:

This is a i7 920 w/ 2 GB of ram on XP 32bit...
What do I need to do???

 

[(FIH) The Don]

[HammerON]

Are you talking about this? If so, no option for XP:

Hmm, no -bigadv and I see that you have checked that box. A dry spell?

As to your question for rig 3- I would to try to re-start the PC. Best I got, sorry.

@ Hammer, Tracker uses .NET 3.5, make sure you have it updated.

That was because I did not check the boxes before hitting "start". Should I stop and delete current WU???

 

[johnspack]

Can someone lend me their big city isp? My boxes were down for hours again. Arrrg. I hate shaw.

 

[oily_17]

If you do, hopefully it will pick up a -bigadv work unit.

Looks good now basco

As for the FAH GPU Tracker you can use it if you prefer.

You can fold on both your CPU and GPU at the same time if you like

 

[basco]

thanks in advance

 

[oily_17]

PM sent, you need the passkey when running the SMP client for your CPU

 

[basco]

will try xeon 5650 and 2x gpu in the afternoon.

 

[DaC]

Nice Job Guys! Keep pushing it!! Our team grew a lot over this night... =]

Should give you a nice PPD with that setup.My i7 970 gives me ~60,000 PPD with a 4.2 GHz OC running the SMP -bigadv client.

You can follow my guide for setting up the FAH GPU Tracker here -

[basco]

ok so cpu is better then gpu

 

[oily_17]

Yeah CPU is better if you are running the likes of an i7 with 4 or 6 cores and a good OC.

Farm back up. Points should start showing within an hour or 2.....
I'll switch my other box over for awhile tomorrow to make up for it
