Hi Jason,
Today I cloned my system, to work with different compiler-products(ICSProf and PS2011) independent.
This seems the best solution at time, as long as Intel did not use a common menue with switch-technology for all its compiler products(i.e. ICS067, PS2011).
For instance a user has own both Products(ICSProf and PS2011) so he has a valid license for ICSProf wich includes IPP, ITBB and MKL and a valid license for PS2011 which includes IPP, ITBB but he can not use MKL in PS2011(because it is not part of the product PS2011).
I moaned this already in the Beta of PS2011, but had no sucess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the way the 500GB Hybrid disk homes now the clone as follow:
Partition1 80GB System(clone)
Partition2 55GB DATA(clone)
Partition3 158GB common data(original and clone)
Partition4 158GB Backup area (for original and clone)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
later I will install BOINC in the common data area, so that original and clone has the same data and can run in both systems. Hope this will work.

ICSProf - Intel Compiler Suite Professional
PS2011 - Intel Parallel Studio 2011

Today I can confirm both, the clone and the original, can work with installed BOINC in common area and both took off work and progress from the other side.
Great, it works.

By the way today 10.10.2010 I got Total Credit 14,009,856 
Although I had have a long out time this summer, V8-Xeon started now with some good numbers.

Today I installed PS2011 on the cloned OS of R3600.
Additionel I had to create a new directory PS2011_2k8 in our source tree to hold solutionfiles separate from ICC11_2k8. This is necessary because the installation of PS2011 makes ICC11(067) unuseable by overwritten IDE integration. And when the projectfile is converted to PS2011 there is no step to go back to ICC11 anymore.
It's not easy to create a full functional multi-developer environment.

How to use MKL in PS2011
Normally PS2011 does not support MKL, you remember we have no menu entry.
I found a way to use it without any menu entry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
include
for MKL additional
;$(INTEL_DEF_IA32_INSTALL_DIR)MKL\Include;$(INTEL_DEF_IA32_INSTALL_DIR)MKL\Include\fftw

Linker section
(to use MKL sequential)
please add to
Additional Libraries Directory:
;$(INTEL_DEF_IA32_INSTALL_DIR)MKL\ia32\lib
Input Additional dependencies:
mkl_solver_sequential.lib mkl_intel_c.lib mkl_sequential.lib mkl_core.lib
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Linker section
(to use MKL parallel)
please add to
Additional Libraries Directory:
$(INTEL_DEF_IA32_INSTALL_DIR)Lib\ia32;$(INTEL_DEF_IA32_INSTALL_DIR)MKL\ia32\Lib
Input Additional dependencies:
mkl_solver.lib mkl_intel_c.lib mkl_intel_thread.lib mkl_core.lib libiomp5md.lib
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Visual Studio I had additional to add a hard link to VC++Directories --> Libraries
$(INTEL_DEF_IA32_INSTALL_DIR)lib\ia32
$(INTEL_DEF_IA32_INSTALL_DIR)MKL\ia32\lib

D:\I\Intel\Compiler\11.1\067\mkl\ia32\lib

Last week I bought a additional license of "Intel Parallel Studio 2011" to install it on the cloned OS. That's my personal small amount to support seti. 
Have a look at the Emergency fund drive
Your donations are welcome.

Hi,
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 series systems. To get the best Intel MKL
performance on Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 series systems, enable the
Hardware DPL (streaming data) Prefetcher functionality of this processor. To configure this
functionality, use the appropriate BIOS settings where, as described in your BIOS

got it running.
now we have a dual pair of GTX470 for our testfield

For all who own GTX470, GTX480 and run out of work.
I tested the new app from Milkyway, it runs on my two GTX470.
Have a look there
You can now choose milkyway as your backup project

Out of topic:
In this times of longer seti outage(till the new servers arrive and work properly) I switched now
to Collatz. The 2 GTX470(Colorful) produce ~230 -250000 per day(nothing oc'ed) and the 8 cpus are running Docking. No problem to feed 2 GTX470 with a real 8-core.
a typical result:
Run time 537.841553
CPU time 57.96875

Good news: France Telecom offered me 1,2Mbit
and it works now as you can see:
ADSL-Firmwareversion: A2pB023b.d20e
Modemstatus Connected
Downstream-Verbindungsgeschwindigkeit 1214 kbps
Upstream-Verbindungsgeschwindigkeit 326 kbps
VPI 8
VCI 35
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
better than nothing, till now I was sitting behind a 64Kbit line
So I'm happy with it

  Nice and i'm getting envious having actually only a third of that.

What's going on over there then ?  Not that long ago my ISP, without asking, dropped the cable price by $10/month & tripled the downloads speed to 20Mbps.

  Stop it, please.
