    Did a little werk this evening to setup a disk that will have my custom settings (network, workgroup, comp name, dns, archiving, multi cpu settings, etc) for my X2 4200.

    I just have to dig out the network drivers for the onboard lan...

    Is anyone using/looking into BOINCpe?

    I may have mine on-line tonight. If that happens, I can retire a slow intel and an amd (slot A) box...

    As you all know the OS on my AMDAthlon64, 3200+ has been reinstalled why I now downloaded the latest Boinc-client 5.18.15.

    Benchmark:
    2207 Floating points (Whetstone) per Cpu
    3929 Integer MIPS (Drystoe) per Cpu

    Should I use Crunche3r or is it not an good idea? I have noticed before an optimised client has little favour or are I misstaken?

    I haven't been able to find a project that it helps all that much on. What will help is to up the speed on the 3200. I have one that is doing great at 2420 MHz at stock voltage and cooling and the benchmarks are better. I just brought the FSB to 220 with a multiplier of 11.

    I have overclocked the AMD from 2,2 Ghz to 2,376 MHz. I tried 2,398 ut the computer didn´t like it and made a restart instead.
    FSB from 216 to 218 seems be a little step but no it always fail. I dont know what is wrong. I have 2 new twin-memorys. Before I had 2 different.

    You could up the V-Core volts but 2376 isn't to bad. I just don't feel like I'm getting my moneys worth if I don't OC. lol Of course I just had to pay for a new motherboard in my 5 month old laptop because I OC'd it. So please don't pay to much attention to me.

    Is anyone using BOINCpe? I guess I'll fire this up again as a long term project.

    I got a couple of boxes of parts a few days ago (new x2 4800). I guess I'll do some werk on the BOINCpe again. I sort of abandoned it for a while...

    I'll start a thread if anyone is interested....

    I must have missed this post before, just what is this new fangled Boinc OS?
    I found this link not very helpful: http://boinc-wiki.ath.cx/index.php?title=BOINCpe

    Am I on the right track ?





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    From the overclock information I have read there is a fair amount of settings you should change to get the maximum overclock out of Athlon 64 chips. the HyperTransport(LDT) multiplier, memory multiplier, PCI bus... (I had hard drive issues until I locked my pci bus) some ppl also relax the memory timings with higher FSB speeds.

    your DDR would be running DDR432 and HyperTransport would be 1080 I believe. If your bios has multipliers/dividers for these settings you may be able to get a little more if you want to play with things. I am not an expert but I do like to try and see what some chips will do.
