Dirk Sadowski:
Hello Simon!

Thanks a lot for your support!

I will do it like you said!
Maybe I will do it very soon... ;)

Then, of course, I will inform you! :)

Greetings!

Ok so this got a little bit off topic...but no big deal someone got questions answered :)

anyways I was looking aroung the S@H forums and it appears the SUSE and Debian are two fo the more popular Linux build...so unless i hear otherwise I will probably SUSE (because I have the CDs/DVDs)

let me know if anyone has anything else to say

Dirk Sadowski:
Hello Simon!

Again, thanks a lot for your support!

...after a few hours...
4...
In letters...
four :) itīs running now... :)

I donīt know, why? And I donīt know how, but itīs nice! :)
Iīm very happy!

And now I have a few questions:

When we look now to the Infos of the "old" and now the "new" PC:

Operating System Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition, Service Pack 2, (05.01.2600.00)
Memory 767.48 MB
Cache 976.56 KB

Operating System Linux
2.6.16.13-4-default   (itīs the 64 Bit, but it does not stand here (there)?!)
Memory 752.36 MB
Cache  512 KB

Now I have less Memory (15,12 MB) and less (Cache 464,56 KB)
The Memory is because of the LINUX I think and the half Cache now because of the 64 Bit, correct?

When I remember correct, Windows used around 200 MB (S@H ~64 MB?), now with LINUX around 635 MB (S@H ~65- 80 MB?)!
Because in the LINUX- KDE- system-monitoring device: VmGröße= 80 MB oder VmRss= 65 MB? :)
This is normal with Suse LINUX? Or I can close/ delete some services?

The priority is from -20 (high) to +19 (low).
The S@H app have +19.
Can I turn here a little bit for more performance? ;)
S@H becomes only max. 93% CPU dispatching, a programm with the name X becomes the rest...


Is there a programm to control the CPU- temperature under Suse LINUX?


Greetings!

PS. Now I think... the optimized app is a SSE2, or? :)
Or itīs different with 64 Bit?

Hello!

Now I have installed Suse LINUX 10.1- 64 Bit on my AMD K8 3200+...

Greetings!

Simon:
Basically, you could run it without Xwindows and KDE - that would make Seti@Home get lots more CPU.
Then you would only have a text console, but that of course uses a lot less RAM as well.

As for the cache issue, I wouldn't believe what some programs say - instead use this:


--- Code: ---cat /proc/cpuinfo
--- End code ---

in a console to find out what your CPU supports and how much cache is detected. 64-bit operating systems do not have anything to do with cache size.

Also, I'm not sure you are running 64-bit Linux - did you install SUSE from the AMD64 installation discs or i386/i686 ones? The kernel you list does not specifically say anything about 64-bit. You could find out more by


--- Code: ---uname -a
--- End code ---
thirteen:~# uname -a
Linux thirteen 2.4.27-3-k7 #1 Tue May 30 00:34:05 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

The part at the end here where it says i686 means this is not a 64-bit version of Linux.
Compare the next one:

schnecke:~# uname -a
Linux schnecke.alo.de 2.6.8-16-amd64-schnecke.alo.de #3 Thu Apr 27 11:59:31 CEST 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux

where it says x86_64 at the end, this is a 64-bit version.

HTH,
Simon.
