Notfred-Folding on DualXeon-5430

Post by Mr.Nosmo »

I tried to find info by Google, but without much luck, so please help me.... I'm going away for the holidays and I won't be home most of Jan+Feb+Mar (business travel), so I just downloaded "Notfred", hoping do more work on my DualXeon-5430 while I'm away (I runs Vista x64 on a daily basis), but does "notfred" run on all 8 cores (it can only create for 4 cores when I created the CD-image) or will it automaticly run on 2x 4 cores?

I think it will set up 2x4, but why don't you ask over at TR?

At this time, Notfred's distro will only run on 4 cores per client.

There is already a request on his sourceforge site to add support for 6 core & 8 core cpu's since Core i7 CPU have this ability.

I would also suggest going over to the Tech Report Forums. He is usually online there many times a day and can answer you questions.
