Hey guys - just joined CP through BOINC on a 12-yr old Dell laptop. I rebuilt it with max ram 2Gb and a Linux Mint distro. Very happy with the stability and spped relative to what is was doing in the Win XP days. David S. from London UK cycle@blueyonder.co.uk |

Welcome aboard! Operating System Linux 4.4.0-64-generic Does that distro include 32-bit libraries? (They are required to run CPDN.) See this post. (It is part of a long Thread on running on 64-bit Linux.) http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=8008&postid=56025#56025 Best of luck.

Whether you use Linux or Windows, Boinc projects won't run any faster. Using such an old computer is a waste of electricity. |
