Magny Cours.. Finally running

[Movieman]

What a biatch to find a case to fit this Asus board.
Tried four in the house before I got one to fit(almost)
First impressions..Smoothe..
Yea I know, but thats how it feels.
Very quickon the boot,clickbang and done but thats just what I saw while installing drivers and a few trips to the web to get more drivers and utilities.
Now asto that AMD Overdrive app, it does install..
Yup,it installs, doesn't do anything but it does install.
Oh yea, the case,it fit in a LL G70..Yea, that one.
Yes, I still remember and some of you know what I'm talking about.
Still agreat case and I don't forget where it came from and from whom.
Cpuz screenshot so I don't get called a Liar..
Now to go get boinc and see what this biatch will do toearn her keep..
Oh yea,windows thinks it's a dual core!

[snoro]

so that green weekend was pretty long uh ???

[Movieman]

so that green weekend was pretty long uh ???

Told ya I wasn't going to bed till it was running..

[slaveondope]

Awesome Congrates
Cant wait to hear what she puts out and how cool she runs
How about some pics of her in the flesh

Start, msconfig, BOOT.INI, Advanced Options and make sure that maximum CPUs or whatever it is isn't set to 2. Oh, and pics or get out

[jcool]

Great Dave, finally
But.. Windows XP? Oh Dave

[Movieman]

yea,yea,yea I'll get pics but I got bigger issues right now..
Just ran the boinc benchmark and got this and yup, it's running all of TWO WU's..JEEZ!
6/8/2010 6:39:49 AM Benchmark results:
6/8/2010 6:39:49 AM Number of CPUs: 2
6/8/2010 6:39:49 AM 1579 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
6/8/2010 6:39:49 AM 4890 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU
6/8/2010 6:39:50 AM Resuming computation

[slaveondope]

Here you go Dave have some..

Sneeze

[v0dka]

That ^^ or its time for a newer OS. BTW is this quad socket 48 cores?

[[XC] Oj101]

Waaaaaaait wait wait wait wait, QUAD socket with Windows XP isn't going to work, as XP only supports up to two physical processors :/

[Biker]

Dave:

Please, for the sake of the team's collective sanity (well, what is left of it anyway LOL ) go get some rest, then get up refreshed, take a deep breath and install an OS worthy of handling such a beast

Also we could do with the extra points

NEED MOAR CORES

[Sn0wm@n]

:O omg ... dual magny-cours

[[XC] Oj101]

Hmmm, Dave never mentioned it being XP, it could be a server OS

[Sn0wm@n]

a server os not detecting all those cores???

[Mr_Slinky]

Hmmm, Dave never mentioned it being XP, it could be a server OS

Server 2k3 looks exactly like that.

[shoota]

so does any windows OS set to classic mode i think. Put ubuntu 10.04 64-bit on that beast!

[Particle]

It can't be any newer than Server 2003 R2 or Windows XP. That's no Vista/2008/7/2008R2 task manager. It's missing fields and memory is quoted in KB. No sane person would install that fresh to a new machine like this. Surely it's a recycled OS and thus checking the boot configuration may be warranted. But really, that machine deserves Server 2008 R2 Standard.

Here, you can have it for free for half a year (180 days) to see if you like it.

[[XC] Oj101]

a server os not detecting all those cores???

You can limit the number of cores seen by editing BOOT.INI

[Jaco]

Nah , Dave doesn't like Vista that much

Pretty sure that's Server 2003 64bit . Should recognise all cpu's and cores though.

[don_xvi]

Let's all hope Dave is sleeping on it, so he can come back refreshed and ready to make a clear decision on a new OS installation.

UBUNTU to the RESCU!

[shoota]

that's my vote

[sierra_bound]

Those benchmarks are terrible, even for two cores.

I don't think the OS is the issue here. Check the BIOS settings. Some ASUS boards have a setting called "Active Processor Cores". It should be set to ALL.

[skycrane]

server 03r2-64bit should have no troubble seeing all the cores. if im not mistaken, its good for up to 8 sockets, but i dont think there is a limit on the number of cores per socket.

[Rise]

WHERES THE PICTURES!?!?!??

i want hardware pron.
