1) Questions and Answers : Windows : got 3 tasks, 2x64bit, 1x32bit... shouldn't I get always 64bits tasks? (Message 38997)

Hi,.
Just noticed i'm running 3 tasks from same app (sixtrack) but 2 of them are 64bits and one is 32bits.
I wonder why... if Boinc recognizes my system is 64bit, shouldn't I receive 64bits tasks all the time (from this app, of course)?
Thanks

When you have only the sixtrack application selected in your preferences and there is no sixtrack work available (as for now),
you get this irrelevant message.
Select e.g. also Theory tasks.


I have the same. Only sixtrack app selected, which is a native win64 app. No need for vbox. So, there is clearly an error here. Boinc asks for "new tasks available"? LHC has the user, so it should check the prefs and check whether I have something selected for vbox or not. If not, no need to send this annoying message...

Just a waste of time and cpu that could be useful somewhere else...

Please fix this!

Hi. Just got the VM not installed message. I'd like to know how much CPU load will this add up to my box? I guess it's a lot since you'll be running VirtualBox, plus some Linux, plus LHC...

Does this make sense?

Better to use all that extra CPU load in tasks, rather than an opsys on top on another opsys...
