Topic 192502

I am trying to set up E@H on a quad core computer. Might not be set up right yet.

BOINC5.8.15 reports:

processor: 4 Genuine Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU

and some lines later, BOINC5.18.15 reports:

Number of usable CPUs has changed from 4 to 2

Can anyone tell me the significance of a core being "not usable"?

Thanks

CPUs not "usable"?

Sounds like your preferences are set to only use 2 CPUs. If you change that preference on the web and update your client you should be able to use all of your CPUs.

Set it to 8 or 16, just in

Set it to 8 or 16, just in case you get 5320's sometimes ;-)

BOINC will limit it to the number of installed CPUs anyway.

that was an eperimental (nonx86??) model, not something that will be on the market anytime soon.
