I have Intel E4400 and for some reason I only have one work unit process running. How can I get the other one running? There's no virtualization support on this CPU but doesn't that mean that it can still support one process running two work units? |

two processes running separately I believe. It'll either be due to: Not enough work - are there other tasks queued? No of processors to use set to 1 (default is 2 - might have been upped to 4 in latest BOINC ver) Waiting for memory - see Messages tab in Boinc Manager |

Thanks for trying to help. There are 2 WU's waiting. In the preferences Boinc was set to use 2 processors. I don't get what you mean by 'waiting for memory'? I have 2 gigs and I've set memory use as 100%. |

Could it be some BIOS setting I've got wrong? |

I changed the maximum amount of processors to 4 and tweaked the memory setting to 100% and now when I rebooted, the second WU unit begun processing :) |

strange! should've worked. Waiting for memory is the message BOINC gives if a task is flagged as requiring more memory than is available on the system at that time. It usually appears when computers that are close to their memory limit are in use as BOINC's 'when in use' memory allocation is usually lower (default 50%) than the 'when idle' allocation (default 90%). Good to hear you've got it working though... |
