gotta love vmware
gotta love vmware
about to complete my 2nd SMP with vmware WU within the next hour.
I must say though....SMP folding will check system stability much better than any cpu stress test i've run yet. I was running fine @ 3.4 with OCCT, but as soon as I was folding with SMP for 1 hour it would interrupt my folding...backed it down to 3.33 and it runs great.

Go here and register and install vmware
http://www.vmware.com/download/server/
You'll probably have to do some searching for a linux or Ubuntu image for vmware to load up.
I just used all the original settings for vmware.
You can find instructions pretty easy on how to get everything set up. I'd give you more detailed information but I have to start getting ready for work. It's pretty easy to find info by just searching.

Note that the SMP client requires 2 or more CPU cores. ;) To run VMWare you must have a CPU capable of Virtualization Technology. For AMD that means CPU's with Revision F or later. You can check the revision with CPU-z.
If you've got an X2 CPU or Pentium D but no VT you'll have to run a dedicated Linux install, or wait for the Windows SMP client.

The CPU does NOT require VT or Pacifica support (Virtualization) for vmware to work!!!! You do need 2 or more CPU cores though!Bwall wrote:Note that the SMP client requires 2 or more CPU cores. ;) To run VMWare you must have a CPU capable of Virtualization Technology.

Virtualization is another thing all together!
Here are the CPU requirements from the VMWare site for running a 64-bit guest machine.
Workstation 5.5 and VMware Server 1.0 support virtual machines with 64-bit guest operating systems only on host machines that have one of the supported 64-bit processors:
* AMD Athlon 64, revision D or later
* AMD Opteron, revision E or later
* AMD Turion 64, revision E or later
* AMD Sempron, 64-bit-capable revision D or later (experimental support)
* Intel EM64T VT-enabled processors (experimental support)
