2) Message boards : Number crunching : Not The WIndows 8 thread (Message 1153989) Posted 19 Sep 2011 by Ricky Graham Post: I have 3 machines on my desk. 1 is a windows pc, 1 is a linux pc and 1 is a vga swith! Linux does linuxy things and windows does windowsy things. No point comparing them. I only have a windows machine as its easier to run GPU's on BOINC! However using the various aspects in windows today reminded me why i went linux in the first place!

Im not up to scratch with the BOINC software at all. Where will i find this. I cant see it in the BOINC folder. Ricky

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux GPU Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS (Message 1153517) Posted 18 Sep 2011 by Ricky Graham Post: I dunno if i want to try and mess around with it. Surely there is a way to make windows see it as 256MB

7) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux GPU Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS (Message 1153507) Posted 18 Sep 2011 by Ricky Graham Post: wait, Am i being really dumb here. Should i be using the inbuilt graphics to run my monitor leaving the graphics card free?

8) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux GPU Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS (Message 1153502) Posted 18 Sep 2011 by Ricky Graham Post: I ran it and it says 256MB, is there no way we can lend RAM in the way the onboard graphics work. I cant understand however why windows cant see 10Mb or so. Ive had this card laying around for long enough and im determined to get it going without shopping!

12) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux GPU Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS (Message 1153480) Posted 18 Sep 2011 by Ricky Graham Post: 'He' has a handle to his Jug Claggy and this question was more specific to the card and not to the theory behind GPU crunching. If your going to jump on peoples threads with pointless observations i.e which threads i have posted on before, then think about it before doing so. Clearly 'I' posted the thread and 'I' wasnt happy enough with the original answer. My second post was more specific to try and get an answer from one of these GPU gurus running Linux. As someone suggested in my first post. So to wrap up. If you have nothing useful to say Claggy, dont say anything

13) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux GPU Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS (Message 1153477) Posted 18 Sep 2011 by Ricky Graham Post: Thanks guys, I bit the bullet and went back to windows and it appears the GPU is still not working. Ozz, perhaps i picked you up wrong but i was really asking how i should get around the problem. I was far enough ahead to note that i was using stock aps and linux to which i am aware is an unsupported combination. But my real point is that other people have gotten around it. Perhaps my question was aimed at the wrong audience. My apologies, particuarly to Ozz.

14) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux GPU Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS (Message 1153236) Posted 17 Sep 2011 by Ricky Graham Post: the question is going through my head right now, shall i, shall i not. Its all the AV solutions etc. If i could remote desktop onto linux machines from this one after reinstalling windows i would! But i think it would be easier to set up the GPU than remote desktop!

15) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux GPU Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS (Message 1153222) Posted 17 Sep 2011 by Ricky Graham Post: Thanks, and the sarcasm was to the other guy who was stating the obvious. You on the other hand have been more than helpful :)

18) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux GPU Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS (Message 1153195) Posted 17 Sep 2011 by Ricky Graham Post: Ho, Ok i have been messing around today and i have got this to the stage where BOINC sees the GPU but for some reason im getting a message back with no tasks available for GPU. Where am i going wrong. Im running linux

19) Message boards : Team Recruitment Center : Dumfries & Galloway SETI@home (Message 1153117) Posted 17 Sep 2011 by Ricky Graham Post: Hi, I have decided to create my own team for members in the Dumfries & Galloway region of Scotland UK. Or, for our friends across the pond with any ansestry from here :) Feel free to join Ricky

20) Message boards : Number crunching : GPU Help (Message 1153086) Posted 17 Sep 2011 by Ricky Graham Post: I have a few cards laid around me here. Can i literally plug these Graphic cards in and BOINC will do the work or what? I Have a AGP Gforce 5 & 7 series
