I've requested this thread to be zapped

I'll take a stab in the dark and guess its a windows SMP client ?

I doubt my clunky old box would cope.

/me hopes for a 32-bit Linux SMP client.

VeNT · 27 Feb 2007 at 11:56

applying to be a tester, hope its a windows SMP!

Hurrah! Given that all but one of my farm's borgs are SMP-windows machines, this would be a good thing.

Downloading now. I'll just have to wait until my normal clients finish before I get get it going

It's not exactly earth-shattering on my X2 but at least I can now do whatever I want on my machine without constantly worrying about the 1GB getting used up

I'm happy with the output anyway

You have an X2 3800, no? Give me a clue what your output is, as that's what I'll be doing it with

Need more info on the points for the WU's before trying it.

I've absolutely no issues sticking to the linux SMP client in VMWare if the Windows client isn't going to be any better. Having a reason to use linux is teaching me a heck of a lot about it. More than in my previous 4324676456 attempts at 'nix.

So I take it this is getting more than 2 standard windows CLI clients, just less than the 64bit linux SMP?

I'd stick with 'nix now if you're happy with it - if anything I'm getting slightly less than I was before but I'd actually run down my Linux SMP client in favour of a GPU client and a standard client with a bonus WU before this came up.

Well I've put my name down anyway. Won't harm to have the clients ready and waiting if they do prove to be stable-ish.

looks like I'm waiting for the offical release them - spent to much time posting in here as it is

If you're a beta tester and you are currently using VMware then run down your current WU using -oneunit and go try it out - if not then you're better off waiting for something official

How long does it usually take to be accepted to be a tester?

My SMP clients are on 91% and 8% atm.
