103) 疑难解答 : Windows : If I reinstall Windows.. (消息 1220641) 发表于：20 Apr 2012 作者： Yanivicious Post: If I were to re-install windows on a computer that is already running BOINC, when I bring it back online will my computers page in S@H detect it as a new computer? If so, is there a way to indicate to S@H that it is actually the same computer that was previously running BOINC? I just want to keep my computer stats neat and not have duplicate listings of the same computers. Thanks.

105) 疑难解答 : Windows : More CUDA tasks (消息 1219544) 发表于：17 Apr 2012 作者： Yanivicious Post: i see. in this regard BOINC 7 seems to have a less confusing work-fetching scheme. I would like to update this computer to BOINC 7 - do you know if downloading and installing BOINC 7 will that affect the installed optimized lunatics apps?

106) 疑难解答 : Windows : More CUDA tasks (消息 1219529) 发表于：17 Apr 2012 作者： Yanivicious Post: Apologies, I overlooked the GPU forum, I do see it now that I looked (only 3 down from the windows forum) so I would post there in the future. Yes I am using 6.12.34 on the machine with the GPU, the "Connect about every" is set to 0 and the "additional work buffer" is set to 7. I didn't realize that the additional work buffer is not the same as the "max work buffer" in BOINC 7, I figured them both to mean maximum length of tasks to keep download. I leave it at 7 so that in case the S@H servers go down for a few days I still have more than enough tasks to keep crunching until the servers come back. GPU (and CPU) deferral in the project properties both read as ---- I am actually not sure why the "connect about every.." is set to 0, I am pretty sure my other computers have that set to .2 by default. I probably did that a few days ago by mistake.

107) 疑难解答 : Windows : More CUDA tasks (消息 1219500) 发表于：17 Apr 2012 作者： Yanivicious Post: I am getting proportionately much more CPU tasks than CUDA tasks. My max work buffer is set to 7 right now (don't know if that has anything to do with it), but BOINC keeps requesting more CPU tasks (probably 30 are ready to start in my queue, with only one CUDA task ready to start in my queue). The GPU crunches pretty quickly so its shame to have it sitting idle while the CPU tries to catch up. Any thoughts on grabbing a more decent ratio of CPU to GPU tasks or is there nothing I can do?

108) 留言板 : Number crunching : Whats an acceptable (old) GPU? (消息 1218405) 发表于：14 Apr 2012 作者： Yanivicious Post: [quote]I have an old extra machine, it's not much, actually less than one I'm already running (the sluggish "minsys") that gets almost no real credits (maybe 50-75 a day sadly it really seems less than I'd expect but I don't know). The extra machine I have is a p4 @3.0Ghz with 1GB of buggy ram. so using "minsys" as a benchmark Id assume similar RAC. I've got a similar machine that i just ordered an 80GB IDE drive for. It is also a p4, 2.8Ghz- but the hard drive crashed and rather than just junk it I am investing 20 bucks to put a new HD in it and let it run S@H. I dont even remember what GPU is in it. That p4, the athlon xp 3000+ i posted about recently, and some crappy old nx7000 compaq that someone gave me are going to make up team underdog. I'll be interested to see if the three of those machines together can equal one core 2 duo in total RAC.

112) 留言板 : Number crunching : Wrong lunatics app running? (消息 1218241) 发表于：14 Apr 2012 作者： Yanivicious Post: This is my last question for the weekend, i promise ;-) My Core 2 duo Extreme x9000 (penryn) is SSE4.1 enabled. When I used the lunatics installer last week I selected SSE4.1 for the AK_v8b2 app. However upon checking my windows task manager, i see the the 2 CPU apps running are: "AK_v8b2_win_x64_SSE3.exe" clearly the 4.1 isn't running. Any thoughts on why this may have happened? It is a 45nm penryn chip and therefore SSE4.1 should be used..

Funny seeing some of these dinasaurs people have laying around lol. I am setting up most of these systems at my parents house which is only a few miles from my own and they have a huge house with plenty of space and very decent internet connection, so it is a challenge to me just to see how many systems I can set up there! don't worry they don't mind the increased electric bill as it is for a good cause.

115) 留言板 : Number crunching : Lunatics app and Athlon XP-M 3000+ (消息 1217947) 发表于：14 Apr 2012 作者： Yanivicious Post: Hey guys, as I've mentioned before, I have made a plea to friends and family to donate any computers they are no longer using from their home or office for the purposes of me setting them up on my network for BOINC. It has been a pretty successful strategy as I've gotten a good amount of donations. Most of the boxes are dual core intel systems that aren't online yet because I am waiting for parts (mainly HDD's) but I have this one Athlon XP-M 3000+ that has been running for about 2 weeks and it is rather slow. I tried installing the optimized apps via the v .40 installer but it generates computing error and doesnt seem to work. The chip is SSE1 and SSE2 compatible according to CPU-Z and the BOINC event log, but I haven't had success with the optimized apps on this laptop either with the different combo's i tried with the installer. I know that this laptop will never be much of a power cruncher but it is better than nothing and I'm sure if I could get the optimized app to run on it it would at least crunch a little faster. Any thoughts?

116) 疑难解答 : Windows : Overclock core 2 duo extreme x9000? (消息 1217505) 发表于：13 Apr 2012 作者： Yanivicious Post: alright thanks for the input guys the reason i was sayin i wouldnt go with the alienware again is for diff reason- at least my model, the m15x has a chock full o problems that seem extremely common across everyone who has the model- almost rare if you don't have these problems. to name a few: 1. plastic hinge around the screen cracks and pops out. happened to mine 2x (and i never even close the screen or take my lappie with me anywhere, its pretty stationary all the time), they fixed it the first time because it was under warranty, but to do it again they want $300+. I opened up the screen myself and the best i could do was make it stick out a little less. the nubs that the screws go into are made of plastic and it is no wonder they break..also the wires stuffed in the hinge are too big. we never had these problems when i built alienware clones for a living (we basically used sager models but made them look more like alienwares with custom lighting, engraving, colors, and water cooling on the desktops, etc..) 2. the mouse buttons paint chipped off very soon after i received the laptop. 3. they refuse to support "legacy systems" - a term for models purchased before dell bought alienware. 4. the last compatible driver for the nvidia 8800m GTX was 186.1 and alienware knows that thousands of users are very pissed off but, refer to number 3; we are legacy, they dont care. basically we are stuck with ancient drivers. when calling tech support they almost get mad at you for having upgraded to windows 7 x64. 5. i was very surprised to see how simple the cooling schematic is inside my laptop when i opened it up. a good cleaning (literally taking the fan apart piece by piece) helps a lot, but for gaming laptop i'd expect more. thankfully i havent had any major problems even though my GPU was running at 95 degrees before i took out the fans, but apparently lots of other people do run into problems even with clean fans. 6. overall design and parts of the outer case/shell of the laptop is not durable, well thought out, or attractive. i believe they did improve it after the model i bought but i'm not sure how much. 8. i cant think of right now but i'm sure there's something. to their defense; the light up, color changing alien heads are awesome (especially if you're crunching for SETI!) and the computer is, and has stayed decently fast over the years without any of the major hardware posing any problems- but of course its not like those are alienware components. in hindsight, i would consider another alienware, but only a desktop and only after doing thorough research on common problems with the model, and comparison with its competitors. come to think of it, maybe ill just get this... http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/719847/origins-genesis-pc-the-fastest-computer-you-can-buy/ base price for the machine in the link above is about $200 cheaper than what my lappie came to (including tax) in early 2008 when i pretty much maxed out the customization and clicked buy

117) 疑难解答 : Windows : Overclock core 2 duo extreme x9000? (消息 1217434) 发表于：12 Apr 2012 作者： Yanivicious Post: hey ageless, sorry i forgot to include that in my post the core speed and the rated FSB are identical..while GPU-Z is loaded, both values change ever so slightly, but are identical around 797.7 MHz I had read that the multiplier for my system is supposed to be 14x by default, and that i cannnot overclock because alienware locks the BIOS. i love aliens, and i love fast computers, but i dont think i'll buy another alienware

118) 疑难解答 : Windows : Overclock core 2 duo extreme x9000? (消息 1217418) 发表于：12 Apr 2012 作者： Yanivicious Post: I was just looking at my system with CPUZ, and i was wondering if anybody can explain something for me. The system is an alienware laptop with a Core 2 Duo Extreme x9000 (mobile)(aka penryn chip) @ 2.80Ghz w/ 45nm technology , 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM + 1 gig turbo ram (not even sure what that does). In CPU-Z, it says the clock core speed is 797.7 MHZ ... Comparing that with a much much much crappier and older laptop in my posession, an AMD athlon xp 3000+, the core clock speed on that one is almost 1600MHz. Does this sound right? Also, on the extreme x9000 chip, the multiplier is at 4.0X, and i could've sworn it should be higher. if i can raise that to increase speed dramatically i would be interested in doing so as my laptop is ALWAYS plugged in, i absolutely never never take it anywhere or run it on battery (in hindsight i wish i spent less money and got a faster desktop since i essentially use it as a desktop replacement, but whats done is done).

119) 疑难解答 : Web site : BOINC spammers? (消息 1217271) 发表于：12 Apr 2012 作者： Yanivicious Post: Amazingly, I received a private message this morning that looks like it is spam. Its supposedly a girl who is really interested in me from my profile and wants to become best friends with me and send me her pictures, so she wants me to email her at her yahoo email, lol. Of course it is worded in strange english like most spam from overseas (particularly the check fraud spammers who are always writing you polite emails from africa and asking you accept a $1 million payment and keep some for yourself before sending back the balance). It came from a user that has 0 credits so doesn't look like they are an actual cruncher. Is there a platform for reporting spammers?
