BOINC also supports multiple core CPU's which are getting to be the norm. Even the Hyperthreading cores will double output in BOINC.
----------------------------------------However I have had problems with the BOINC crashing on old WIN98 machines, yea I know they are out of date, but I am not going to pay to upgrade the OS on old crunching machines, that can't really cover the extra overhead of XP let alone support VISTA.  |

I don't know if you still use those w98 PCs or not, but unused PCs could run LINUX without a problem and with less overhead I guess...
I am using w98 PCs, because I am not willing to pay thousands of EUROs for the window$ version of the software they are running and also save money with it, because I dont have to upgrade these old PCs. The boinc agent runs fine, the only problem is computing power which these old PCs are in lack of. |

The boinc agent runs fine, the only problem is computing power which these old PCs are in lack of. I have a couple of P3's running Linux, if you haven't tried it lately, you should. It can breathe new life into an old system. But it can't make it crunch faster. I've seen lease return P4s as low as $100 with XP included. I only have 1 machine with Vista (Ultimate), and I don't see anything that would make me want to spend any amount upgrading. XP works fine & doesn't have the overhead requirements of Vista.     |

yes, we all got a case of shell shock from that one.
----------------------------------------Oh, we have a new memeber ISIS1. I know him, he was one of my roommates. He wants his own stats now that the grid is kaput. He likes being a silent partner but has a nice p4 duo.  Welcome Paul |
