gotdamojo06 Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I just got my old AMP system working, I was wondering how I would go about setting up 2 instances of F@H on this rig, one on each processor...If it matters I am running Win 2K server edition... What I have tried so far is installing one copy under C:\F@H\CPU1 and another under C:\F@H\CPU2 and running both at the same time, but they seem to be doing the exact same core...

NCC10281982B Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 you will need different machine IDs. you may also need to set the affinity in the task manager. You could also try the VMware/SMP client trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I don't think the SMP variant will work, as I think those old 1200+ A-XP's do not support 64-bit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC10281982B Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I don't think so, it is free but you have to give them all that info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdy284 Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I don't think the SMP variant will work, as I think those old 1200+ A-XP's do not support 64-bit? you can run the 32 bit linux. you need a 64bit processor for the SMP client to work. They don't just recommend 64bit linux for the fun of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an excellent tutorial on how to run on multiple core/CPU systems as a sticky on this forum. You have done everything right, but you need (a) diff server ids (1 & 2), and (b) set the "-local" flag option for each shortcut pointing to exe in the separate directories. Enjoy!
