Hi all Does anyone know if these Clients are supported with boinc? Because i'm not sure yet about the "ThinOS" System http://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/thin-and-zero-clients/3040/spd/wyse-3040-thin-client OS is: Customizable OS Wyse ThinOS or Wyse ThinOS + PCoIP or Wyse ThinLinux Thank you for your support! http://boincstats.com/signature/-1/user/2571234/sig.png |

I don't think IT at your work place would be too happy with you running BOINC & Seti there. From what I have found, the CPU & Memory on the system are purely there to run the OS & it's USB & network connections. It's the server it's connected to that does most of the work- hence it being a Thin Client. Replacing the thin OS with a lite Linux distribution would allow you to run Seti on it, but given it's CPU, I wouldn't expect too much from it. Grant Darwin NT |

Hi Grant It's not for work i thought maybe for home, but that explains it all. Thank you very much for the quick response, i thought of something less power consuming, but i will leave my hardcore Desktop to it, much better:) Best Regards Marco http://boincstats.com/signature/-1/user/2571234/sig.png |

i thought of something less power consuming, but i will leave my hardcore Desktop to it, much better:) If you were to replace the GTX 560Ti with a GTX 1050Ti or GTX1060 3GB the present system would do more work, and use much less power. GTX 560Ti 220W GTX 1050Ti 75W GTX1060 3GB 120W The GTX 560Ti was a great card in it's day, but the present ones can do a lot more work, and use a lot less power. Although unfortunately with the present Crypto Currency mining boom, finding one at a reasonable price is next to impossible at the moment. Grant Darwin NT |
