[YARDofSTUF]

i know i could search on here for older posts but i've read some here before and they werent really spelled out, and i think thats what i'll need.


thanks :)

ok i think i got it. i have one as machine ID 1 and one as machine ID 2 and there both running and have different proteins have the -local -forceasm and -advmethods tags in use


both clients have teh same ID string tho, is this ok?

[YARDofSTUF]

ok its running strong cae temp is 24c cpu0 is 30c and cpu1 is 37


so instead of a 1ghz folding celeron at 100mhz fsb, i've got 2 1.4ghz p3s at 133fsb!

I don't have a dulie, but I don't think you've got it set up right. Goobee would be able to help you more as he is running several duelies.

If your running XP you can do a ctrl-alt-del and see what portion of the cpu time is being used by the cpu. If you see 2 cores folding with like 48% each then you don't have it set up right. Theres a way to assign each cpu to a certain task which is what your looking to do.

Hey Yardy,
Make sure that you have them in separate directories. I make 1 folder FAH and the other FAH2, and yes, the first on can be default settings, ie., machine ID 1, and the second make it machine ID 2 and you should be good to go!

WTG on the dually, we can sure use the crunching! :)



I am putting together a new Barton/Nvidia box, (check snakes RAM thread hardware forum for details...) I have to get Lukeman off of my back! :D

FOLD ON!

Ken has it correct. Do not forget to include Rickoic's tags.

I am running two duallies.... Yes, they do smoke.

shant,
david

yes each cpu is at full load and under processes shows 2 cores at 50%


thanks


amd thakns to ken and david as well for making sure i'm good to go!

Ah, duallie fever. First Sid, now YARDofSTUF.

Dualies make for excellent fileservers. I have my 2x1GHz P3 system serving as back up for all the computers in my network. I have even toyed with it as an email server.

thinking of doing somethign like that for backup data, also with my car paid off looking into a second net connection with higher upload to run a small website and a part-time game server.
