RRLedford, I think as far getting images on these posts goes you need to have then images on the net somewhere & then put the url in between the image tags

eg.
[ img ] picture url [ /img]

but without the spaces :wink:

edit:
yup just tested it, that works

tomatoeboy, You can skip the multiplier setup -AS IT IS LOCKED INSIDE THE CPU AND NOT ALTERED BY THE BIOS SETUP. Cheers, RRLedford. I never knew that. I knew that it wasn't possible to actually change the multiplier but wasn't aware that you didn't have to make sure the board knew what it was. Kind...

Saw this sort of problem a few times on the old message board. In general I believe that the conclusion was that the power traces had gone to that CPU & there wasn't really a lot you could do about it. Upgrades to anything higher than the 533 involve a powerleap adapter as seen in many posts on this...

Just to clarify, I assume you were just changing the CPU type menu in the bios, eg you tried to tell it that you had 2 600MHz cpu's instead of 2 533's. This won't work, to overclock you must set the CPU type to "User Defined", set the CPU multiplier to the right setting (for you its 8) then you can ...

Windows 98 won't recognise both your CPU's so don't use it. Windows 2000 & XP are pretty similar in function, XP is just looks a little prettier. It's personal choice between those 2, I used XP & have gone back to 2000 because I prefer it. I've only been using linux for a little while & it works wel...

I think that it would be generally agreed that you are best off upgrading your BIOS to the RU final standard. You can find this on the bp6.com homepage http://bp6.gamesquad.net/bios.phtml If you glance down at the bottom of that page you'll find a link as to how to flash your BIOS. Check that out & ...

with the computer disconnecting from internet/network are you on dial-up or a broadband connection? If its broadband & you get your IP automatically run "ipconfig /renew_all" (I think) from the command prompt & that might solve the problem for you without having to reboot.

I'm sure the seti team would love you just to set 'em up in a dark corner crunching wu's for them. That or you could use them as supports for that wobbly table you've got :D

Why 3 instances? Surely you're just slowing your system down by making it load balance more than it needs to? Have you got times for just 2 processes each assigned to a seperate CPU?

I am assuming you are keeping the 466's and not thinking of getting any new processors. To overclock smoothly all you need to do is: hold down "del" after turning on your computer enter the "CPU Softmenu II" screen change cpu type to "User Defined" Change multiplier to "7" Change "Speed Error Hold" ...

Using the same WU's for linux & win2k

Anyone know if there's a problem with using the same WU with both the linux & windows clients? The reason I ask is because I dual-boot win2k & mandrake 8.2 I'd like to do WU's when using both. I don't always use linux as much as I'd like to, so I want to work on the same units as I do when using win...
