Another Question?

[Guest Corsair]

in the computer of the previous message, I've installed BOINC and it's

processing SETI and CPDN, but it's only running 2 instances instead of

four??? why it's supposed that it's a quad core and supposed to run four

instances.

 

Latest AMD processor driver installed.

I thought XP had a 2-CPU limit, maybe someone can chip in to confirm, or

check the license in hardcopy or online. You may need a more current OS

to take advantage of quad core on the desktop.

Windows XP Professional can support up to two processors regardless of the

number of cores on the processor. Microsoft Windows XP Home supports one

processor.

This computer is XP pro x64 sp2 just bought 1 week ago, so that's what I'm

asking about that BOINC it's only running two instances, but when I run

another programs of heavy duty processor work, I see that the four cores are

used.
