running 2 instances in linux

whats the best way to run 2 instances of seti when in linux. What i do at the moment is to just run 2 command line instances with the basic "./setiathome" command. I have no idea how to assign each process to a specific processor. Is this possible/necessary? Edit Don't answer that! In a moment of ma...

I seem to remember when this came out a while ago, as far as I can remember, the spectra's don't support SMP, I can't really remember why as they're based on the Coppermine PIII core. I think it was probably in the old forum somewhere. It might be worth a search. Check the product page on http://www...

Yes, I think it should work but you will need a powerleap neo s370 adapter. I don't know the specs on that chip but I think you'll probably have the best chance of sucess if you use a chip that runs on a 100MHz FSB. To find a powerleap adapter in the UK check http://www.powerleap.com/ not sure where...

The multiplier depends on the chips you've already got. Take the rated MHz and divide by 66. should give you a whole or half digit multiplier, eg mine are 433's 433/66= 6.5 multiplier. Make sure you set this right and also disable the speed check alarm. As far as voltage is concerned, as low as poss...

UDMA mode 4 is the fastest speed the HPT can handle, that is UDMA 66.

If your drive is capable of more, as i think yours is, then you won't feel the difference unless you buy an IDE controller card such as the promise one mentioned so often on this forum.

I'll try & catch that, it sometimes whips past a bit quick. One that I have noticed failing is usb support, not too much of a problem as the only usb device I have is a colour printer & I can print anything I want out on my mums computer instead (or just boot windows)

What does anyone thing of the online/offline notifier within the topics? Might encourage people to chat if they find someone on at the same time as them.

Can't think that any of the others are worth bothering with, seems to run pretty nice as it is at the moment :P

The setup that seems to work for me is:

CPU1 sensor - Winbond 1
CPU2 sensor - Winbond 2
System sensor - Winbond 3

Voltage configuration - W83782D Abit BP6

Thats with version 5.06 but I wouldn't have thought it'd change that much with the newer versions

Cheers Wolfram, were the temps much lower with the supplied fans? When I clock my 433's to 533 I have to bump the core to 2.2V to be even slightly stable & that has taken my temps up to 55ºC, although it has been really hot here the last few days when I hit those temps.

Has anyone tried or heard anything about these things? They seem to be scatered liberally round the web and are quite cheap. I wanted to know if this is because they're rubbish. I was looking at some of the APSK-0166 ones to go on my BP6.

Just started using this board on another forum, & I have to say it's a great improvement over the last one. It's great to see that some parts of the old community that help me so much when I was setting up my system 3 years ago is still kicking about.
