1) Message boards : BOINC client : Number of CPUs changing (Message 8738) Posted 14 Mar 2007 by Gerry Rough Post: I'm still trying to figure out what is going on with my dual core only using one core when it always used both before (my general prefs on BAM! have it at 1 CPU, but this has somehow never been a problem until now). Here is what happens when I try to sync with BAM! As you can see below, it runs CPU benchamrks, tells me that my number of CPUs has changed from 1 to 2, then immediately runs another set of CPU benchmarks and concludes that the number of CPUs has changed from 2 to 1. Hmmmm. Any suggestions? I have put this same message on the rosetta and BAM! boards to no avail.

2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : two einstiens on one pentium 4? (Message 979) Posted 20 Nov 2005 by Gerry Rough Post: I recently upgraded to a pentium 4 computer and downloaded boinc. The problem is that there are now two einstein programs running simultaneously. The good news is that I am blazing through work units twice as fast as before with my other machine; the bad news is that the fan is going to drive me crazy at night and I wonder now if the processor will not overheat running two einsteins simultaneously. is this normal for a P4, and how do I correct the problem?
