1) Message boards : Number crunching : XML stats problems (Message 12950) Posted 30 May 2005 by old_user504 Post: I don't know how but I just got 1300 credit for something I havn't done. 1000 credit off an WU that I only just started and hasn't trickled once, and 200 off another one. What's going on?

Wait a few seconds while BOINC stops the CPDN model, then close BOINC, then shut down your system. Shutting down your system often without suspending + closing BOINC can cause problems as when you shut down Windows, BOINC has no control over the way Windows shuts down all software (usually just by "killing" it) and thus can cause problems if data is in memory and it shuts the PC off too soon (data curruption). Hope this helps.

8) Questions and Answers : Wish list : PC numbers in teams shown as \"hidden\" if set to \"hidden\" (Message 8083) Posted 29 Jan 2005 by old_user504 Post: Is there any way to make the website NOT show how many hosts a user has when looking at a team if there preferences are set to hide there hosts? I would rather not have people looking to see how many PC's I have running CPDN.

9) Message boards : Number crunching : mobile Athlon XP in a Socket A motherboard? (Message 8081) Posted 29 Jan 2005 by old_user504 Post: Hi all. I've seen around on websites about people talking about them putting mobile Athlon's into there Socket A motherboards (proper desktop ones) and I was wondering if this was actually possible? I'm wondering this as my laptop has a mobile Athlon XP 1900+ CPU running at 1.6GHZ, with an average s/TS of approx 5.23, although the memory in my laptop causes the s/TS to stay around 5 (it has 133MHZ SDRAM memory). I was wondering if I could take the CPU out when the laptop is out of warranty (this year) and slot it into my old motherboard which supports a FSB of up to 400MHZ, and supports DDR memory (meaning increased performance for the processor). However, I'm not sure what the FSB of the mobile processor is and if it will run in the motherboard or not. The motherboard I plan to put it in is a Asus A7V600-X, and at the moment has an AMD Duron 1800 running at 1.8GHZ (approx 4.25 s/TS, due to the small L2 cache). Thanks!

11) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Slower computers getting more credit on each trickle (Message 4451) Posted 21 Sep 2004 by old_user504 Post: ...Basically like SETI@Home, depending on how long the computer has taken to complete an WU or a trickle, the more credit they gain. I\'ve had to put my notebook\'s processor speed down to 500mhz because of some cooling problem (looking into it) but it\'s annoying that I\'m not going to be reseiving as much credit as before even though it\'s doing more work. Please add this feature in, it will help any one with a slower computer.

15) Questions and Answers : Preferences : howto delete a host? (Message 3097) Posted 5 Sep 2004 by old_user504 Post: You are unable to delete hosts once they have had an WU sent to the machine. By the sounds of it your hosts have, therefore you are unable to delete them hosts now.

16) Questions and Answers : Windows : Poor performance from an AMD Duron (Message 3090) Posted 5 Sep 2004 by old_user504 Post: OK I just re-ran the benchmark on this system WITH EVERYTHING CLOSED and the GUI reported it at 4.60 s/TS, which is around what it should be. I cannot get my notebook to go any lower than 7.50 s/TS though.

18) Questions and Answers : Windows : Poor performance from an AMD Duron (Message 3078) Posted 5 Sep 2004 by old_user504 Post: I have an AMD Duron 1800MHZ in my main PC, but when looking at other AMD Durons that are actually slower than mine, they seem to have a lower s/TS than mine and are able to claim credit faster. The lowest s/TS I can get from this is 5.5. Is there anything I can do to make it run faster? I\'m running the 4.03 BETA CLI version as a service, and have Windows 2000 Pro set to give more CPU timing to services. Thanks in advance.

19) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Changing team (Message 2578) Posted 1 Sep 2004 by old_user504 Post: I\'ve decided to change my team to the Cable Forum CPDN team since I post on the forum a lot, but my credit hasn\'t added onto the total credit yet, and my name is shown up in the member list. Does my existing credit add onto the total of my new team or does it stay on my last team?
