do you both succeed in running the distributed.net client for a long period of time? On this task my pc hangs (although it doesn't do so under win2k).
Same problem with the ab initio package GAMESS. It does not work when both processors are used at the same time.

Hello,
no the system performs well for a minute or 5 after starting the cpu intensive tasks and then stalls. Is this a heat related problem??? If it is, then I do not understand why it was not a problem under win2k
I have just installed the 1.04 bios to check if this resolves some of the problems.
Kernel: 2.4.19-pre9
Mem: 512 Mb registered APACER

2nd guess:
u are in x and u have agp 4x (maybe with a gforce3/4) 
ihmo, in the bios is a switch for smp, something with smp1.4 or so ?? what is your setting...
check out 2cpu.com forum's anyway....

First, It's really interesting to see that I am not alone. But WTF do you have a Tyan Tiger MP board with XP CPUs????
Well, most important hardware on my desktop is:- Tyan Tiger MP
- 2x Athlon MP CPU 1500+
- 1x 1 GB ECC DDR RAM Registered
- GeForce2 GTS 64MB DDR, and others
Cheers,
Christian Parpart.
p.s.: SMP rocks |

imho the (older) 1.6 and 1.8 XPs are equal to MPs, just cheaper... later, AMD added a SMP lock to XPs
| Code: |
Zudem wird AMD in kürze die SMP Fähigkeit aller nicht-MP CPUs entfernen, erste Athlon XP CPUs ohne SMP sind bereits gesichtet wurden. Schade. |

Uärgs Und ich ARSCH habe mir 2 MP CPUs gekauft? Wo bitte ist denn da noch der Unterschied? *heul*. Aber egal. Der ideelle Wert bleibt!
Ich hoffe doch das sich AMD mit den neuen Hammer CPUs (Opteron) nicht den gleichen Scherz erlauben wird. Denn das wird meine Neue Anschaffung werden *freu*.
