Good luck, Jim. I hope all goes well for you....I've had another 1.8 Duron suddenly and intermittantly take twice the 'normal'time of approx. 7 hours to complete(ie 15 hrs.). The other five identical Duron machines seem OK (so far) and all seven run other projects without problems. No evidence of unusual activity other than sudden indigestion with E@H. Bit of a mystery...Cheers, Rog.
Update, I'm seeing no change in Einstein WU runtimes. I've also reset the project without seeing any change in WU runtimes. I've attached the Windows machine to a second project (Rosetta) and it seems to be doing fine handling Rosetta WUs. I think at this point that I'll just leave it crunching for Rosetta and keep my Intel Core Duo MacBook and G3 iMac on Einstein. Oh, well.
Hi Jim....sorry to hear you had 'no joy' with your P4. FYI, I solved our 1.8GHz Duron problems by changing the system BIOS to a more stable memory mode and removing a small (5%) system overclock. The processing times have stablized to normal (ie 7-8 hour range for long WUs.) As I mentioned, these machines would process Rosetta OK but were having trouble with E@H. My guess is that slight system instability was affecting the SSE operations somehow (I'm pretty sure Rosetta doesn't utilize SSE) but I'm not a computer guru by any means....Cheers, Rog.
Good luck, Jim. I hope all
