Whats the general opinion of using HT? It seems to process a single wu 
faster when limited to 1 processor but does two at a time (obviously :-) ) 
when set to 2 processors, although a bit slower.

I use HT whenever possible, I also use Windows. People that use Linux
have reported large slowdowns when crunching while HT is enabled. In
Windows it seems that with HT enabled you can crunch 2 units in about
125% of the time it takes to crunch a single unit. Giving you a time
savings.

Hi all,

I've just started running boinc and I've noticed my cpu temp hovers around 
70-72C. Is this ok?
Its a 3.2GHz P4 with HT.
Thanks,

Paul


Seems a bit high, check to make sure all panels are on and the fans
are not clogged.
