Will do, and thank you for all the assistance.
Let me get the cluster set up, do some tweaking, and then I will seek advice on optimizing.
What’s the word re:XP SP2? I’ve been (intentionally) avoiding SP3... (other than a stand-alone for compatibililty/ regression testing.)
I have a bank of boxes (mostly Win and Linux) at work, that although older (generally P4 or equiv.), might also be suitable.
Since you have a gang of fast NVidia cards, Winders is the way to go.
If you get 5 systems all running with GPUs, you will be the top points person on our team.
Klutz_Dohanger is the current overall points leader, but the energy czars at his work have cut him way back. If he can get the systems running again then he can get 80,000 - 100,000 points per week.
It takes about a day for the first GPU work unit to cycle through, and about a week for the first CPU core to register.
