(moderation:
It seems there was an error with
this WU that ended up splitting my computer identity into two. I had never got this WU to
my PC and it seems the other 3 people working on it too, i wonder if they got their PCs identity splitted as well ?
Furthermore - i can't merge my computer because the PC list for merging operation is empty
Note: if i recall right there was an error recieving that WU i just don't remember the error message - mistake in xml header or something like that , dunno

sorry for bringing the thread up into the top of the board again.
I just wanted to ask if anything is being done to fix PC identity splits ?

I've made some modifications to the scheduler to try and prevent these identitiy splits. It seems to be caused by a bug in the BOINC core client, but is not well understood yet. In your case, is the split machine called kampiuteisenas ? It is listed twice: can you merge those two identities, if it's the same machine?

I can't merge them because their CPU Mhz differ but yes it is the same machine - a Pentium III 700Mhz on BX motherboard originally developed for Pentium II line
thus it reports CPU speed sometimes incorrectly.
One can't rely on CPU speed report when trying to identify the CPU
