 Thanks, I see that they are 5.89. I understand, and I thank you. Astro, I remember you that the my computer OS is a Linux 64 bit. I bought Windows XP and Office 2003 years ago, and I use them only on my notebook, when I work in archives and libraries. When I was young I loved the computer science and I programmed in "C", but I preferred as my life job to study some economic and political aspects in late Middle Ages (about XI-XIV century) Italy, my country. ;-) I dislike MS softwares, as all other closed softwares, and however they cost too many money: Linux costs about 100 €, or 200 too, Windows and Office about 1000... -.- |

 I am going to give it another shot. I just got some 5.91 WUs and I'll let them run to see if I get any more errors. |

 I also have recently received multiple "computation error" results which also brought up the WinXP "Report this problem" window when a program crashes. Happened on two different machines on two different networks. |

Happened on two different machines on two different networks. I had the exact same thing with resultid=128948581, though it's the only one I've had in months. It did happen today like yours. |

 ON two different machines both running xp pro one an intel 1.6 and another an AMD 1.8 said hey 512 not enough!! need 256 more , the 1.6 is running with extra memory and the AMD is waiting for more, work uniys should be taylored for each machine so older machines will be happy too |

 Hey guys try a copy of memtest86 on CD for 9.95 + shipping and know your memory is good then /or download a copy of orthos  http://www.overclock.net/downloads/138142-orthos-v20060420.html if it errors out your double precision math ie your memory/machine can't handle the speed ( in my case I went from 3.4 to 3.33 ) I also have 2 1 gig sticks that will intermitanly crap out sometimes its ok just start a test[ blend - stress cpu and ram ] if it will run sometimes and not the other bad ram or slow it down a click at the time ....... makes for smoother crumching and the flacky ram well its going back on an RMA also 30 min test are plenty I let BOINC run during the test as well just do several a day for several days and see how you fair TEAM Highland Outreach |

 i thought memtest86 was a free download? Of course it is free http://www.memtest.org/ Perhaps they can't burn a CD or floppy and have to have it done for them??? |

 YEA I did not mention the free download because most of my floppys have failed and when we tried it from a cd (iso ) it did not work . I felt it was not worth anymore of my time and I wanted it to work and work right so for 10 bucks it was done money well spent !! has any one pulled down orthos and fired it up yet? |
