Title: New Computer Need Client Advice
Post by: robsreef on 15 Feb 2009, 11:28:16 pm

I just built a new computer Dual Core AMD (SSE3) with Geforce 8400 Graphics.

Which client should I be running?

I went through the 14 page thread, but got lost.

You need pack with "AMD" in name.

thanks.

And what exactly is better about this than the standard Boinc?

Got it installed. 3 processes running:
AK_v8b_win_SSE3_AMD_GPU_CPU_team.exe Using 50% CPU
AK_v8b_win_SSE3_AMD_GPU_CPU_team.exe Using 0% CPU
MB_6.08_mod_CPU_team_CUDA.exe Using 0% CPU

System Idle Process Using 50% CPU

Does that look correct?

AM I correct, does this config run 3 units at a time? one for each CPU (2), and one on the GPU? Messages say only two units, where are they running?

Looks like you forget about cc_config.xml

okay so I download the CC_config.xml rar. The number in there is currently "5". I would want to change that to "3" right?  Then just place that file in my \projects\berkeleyetc folder along with everything else from the previous package?

Okay got it installed, results:
running 3x AK_v8b_win_SSE3_AMD_GPU_CPU_team.exe
Two are using ~50% CPU, one is using 0% CPU
running 1x MB_6.08_mod_CPU_team_CUDA.exe
Using 0% CPU

Okay, now does that look right?
