heads up for limited ram duel thread crunchers

[shadowscotland]

Well I've just had the pleasure of uploading a few 212*'s and gain two 1495 and one 1498 in return looks like we could be in for a production boost people

But the 1498 uses well in excess of 200mb of ram so all you duel threaders, especially the P4 HT ones with less that 1Gb beware. And any tri/quad thread xeons with less that 2Gb for that matter. It's also nearly a 10Mb download

Thought you all should know

It's worth 805points but it's going home with me to crunch - only had one of these so far (on an unknow borg) so no benchmarks yet.

I'll do a step or two on my workstation and report back.

So you're saying I should kill a thread on my P4 3.0E with 521mB memory? Is this two will be counterproductive for FAH, or because they would slow usage down for me. Reason I want to know is because if it's the latter I'll just make a note to remember to stop FAH when doing anything memory intensive.

Latter.

If your lucky enought to be running two 149* WU (or even one 1498 with only 512mb) on a machine you actually want to use, stop the service when doing anything ram intensive.

Two 1495/6 will be fine (taking 100mb between them) it's just the 98's.
Two 1498's and windows (600mb) = swap files = proformance drop. And that's without user requirments!

1Gb and over, not a problem.
