A Wolf among all cheeps

[Lagu]

Guys!

This is my new rig as will arrive next week. As you can see it is no AMD. It is a Intel E6600. I as is a fan of AMD why have I bought an Intel? Yes, it will supersede my Intel PII, 350 MHz, 128 MB RAM and 6 GB HDD 4.000 rpm as not can run whatever I want. But also I imagine AMD’s new cores will be too expansive. And another thing: I had told the forum I want a cruncher and Intel is undoubtedly the most powerfully of them booth today. Now I can put the new computer in every project if I prefer that.

Great thanks will go to Vaughan. I was less and turned me to him and attached my configurations to him by E-mail. My experience and knowledge about different data parts is very limited. What is suitable or what is not suitable among these parts such memory, graphic card, motherboards? We have changed E-mails to each other and he has given me some good advice. An example was the graphic card as he said was too weak so I have chosen another one. Also I was worry about the cooling but he calmed me. He have been in Sweden (not personally) but through Internet and watch www.komplett.se. Thanks goes even AMDave and Blackheath as have helped me on the way even if in not been a AMD. We can say they push me on the back.

I was not so interested of ask you guys because I got so many different answers. It had been OK if I should build it myself. The new computer is configured from a existing computer and I have change these components: Processor, memory and graphic cards as has decreased and choose a cheaper floppy and a DVD-reader/player instead for a DVD-burner as was cheaper.

But I will yet thank you guys as have post in the Motherboard tread. I have been aware what we can buy not only ASUS, gigabyte and many more. You guys as has a lot of good experience and knowledge please continue post and tell us what you know because many other will appreciate it.

I will yet not retire my old girl. My hearth loves her too hard for that. She will continue in the background running MoneyBee as she does well and not need my help with a feeding bottle and a dummy (pacifier) She is now 6 year.

Next step for you guys will be to talk to me how I will run the Core2 duo in Boinc and other project. Need I 2 clients or is it enough with 1? Which project has you run and found fit the both cores well or bad? Have you run 2 different non Boinc project or a combination of Boinc and for example FAH?

Lagu, to run a dual core or even quad core on boinc and take full advantage of all cores, you just have to log in to a project website, any project, go to your account, click on the general preferences, and set it to use 2 (or more) processors. The change there will spread across all projects and (after you click on boinc to update) your boinc will start crunching two workunits at the same time, maybe from the same project or from different projects, that depends on configurations.


Now unleash that hungry wolf and let him chase all the sheep here! hehe :icon_smile:

I’ve got a PM from Komplett today where they told me they have sent my Intel today and I think it will arrive tomorrow or on Tuesday.

I have ponder use this computer for my private need using Internet and Word or Excel or sometime Windows player when watching video clips for example. I use to do this on my AMD Athlon 3200+ and I can’t se any increase of the performance. Perhaps it is there but it is difficult to see.

Instead my AMD 3200+ will be a computer as I not need to use for my private need. I only need Internet and say WordPad because I will remove Office from this computer + some other software. I have also MS Works as I can use for writing. Then this computer may run along in the silent.

I don’t know if Intel Core2 Duo will slow down if I use it as I use my AMD. I think there is so mush power and performance so if I use it for my private need the performance should only be marginal poorly.

I have my E-post dresses on my AMD. How can I save it and move it over to my new Intel? And if I will save all posts I have got is it possible move it over and if how can I do that? I have XP on both but no network. They are connected to a router and modem only.

I have a 512 MB USB memory whish is good for backups of all files + project files.

Any advice is most welcome

Are you using Outlook, Outlook Express or something else for your emails?

[Lagu]

Talking about 2 cores:

I think one core use 100 %
And the second 100% but I suspect this is wrong or isn’t?

Say I run 2 Boinc task on the core2 Duo.
Will it mean they use 50 % each to crunch both WU´s?

[Strongbow]

Within task manager when running BOINC with 2 tasks both will run at 50 but the CPU usage will be at 100%.

Don't forget to copy all '.pst' files (including archive.pst)

Blackheat, I have some difficulties understand the word "Data file Management". My outlook is in Swedish and can this complicated word be written in another words? I have tried search after "pst" with no results. Then I searched after outlook witk a more advanced alternative and found Outlook.srs 3 Kb + another Outlook with its typical icon 23 Mb. I can se in whish map it is.

When I click on "Personal folder" a page appear as is Personal folder - Outlook today. Is it this page it means?

Then what step should I use? there is only 3 steps for 2003. Should I use some more steps as chowns here? You can E-mail me if you want.

Outlook stores all your data (email messages, contacts, your calendars, and more) in ominous "Personal Folder" (.pst) files. They are proprietary and complicated, and it's a good idea to back them up now and then. First you need to find the location where Outlook keeps your .pst files, however.
Where Outlook Stores Your Mail, Calendar and Other Data


To identify the folder where Outlook 2003 stores your email messages and other data:

• Select File | Data File Management... from the menu.
• Highlight your main data file (typically named Personal Folders).
• Click Open Folder....

To identify the folder where Outlook 2002 and earlier store your data:

• Click with the right mouse button on Outlook Today either in the Outlook bar or in the folder list.
• Select Properties from the pop-up menu.
• Select Advanced....
• Notice the path listed under Path:.
• Select the path excluding the file name (usually this will be "outlook.pst") with your mouse.
• Press Ctrl-C to copy the path.
  • If, for example, the path listed under Path: is "C:\­Documents and Settings\­email.guide\­Application Data\­Microsoft\­Outlook\­outlook.pst", you'd select and copy "C:\­Documents and Settings\­email.guide\­Application Data\­Microsoft\­Outlook\".
• Now select Run... from the Start menu.
• Press Ctrl-V to paste the path
• Hit Enter to open your Outlook data folder in Windows Explorer.

No worries Lagu it wasn't that clear when I read it as well.

You need to go to the following location:

C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Outlook

All the .PST files reside in this location!

*NOTE*
The ...\Local Settings folder is often hidden so make sure you have set 'Windows Explorer' to view Hidden files by selecting the following menu option in 'Windows Explorer':

Menu : Tools
Menu : Folder Options
Menu Tab : View
Checkbox : Show hidden files and folders
