2 of my machines show twice when I go to "View Computers" and they stay that way when I do the merge.

Anybody else encounter this?

Admiral,

I looked at the public list of "your computers"...and noted the following.

Some of the CPUs are named "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz Pentium"
and the duplicates are ... "GenuineIntel Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz"

So the word GenuineIntel is being thrown into the name.

Some of the earliest results for those PCs occur on Feb 9th...so I'm going to guess you installed a new version of the BOINC client on or about the 9th. And that it added the extra word to your CPU description.

Thanks and I think you are right. I wonder if I can delete those doubles.

That has happened to me on other projects. The computer hasn't changed but Boinc has slightly changed the name of the Processor so it's split into two seperate computer listings.

See it this way:
You can brag to the others, that you have a real farm crunching away on Seti ;-)

But regarding the deletion:
AFAIR you have to wait until the results of the non-puters are gone or at least validated, don't know exactly. Safe is wait 'til they're gone.

For questions about Boinc look in the BOINC-Wiki

Must wait til db_purger have removed all results, this should normally happen 7 days after file_deleter have done it's job. And file_deleter again must wait till all results for a wu either reported or passed deadline, and Assimilator & Validator have done their job...

With Validator backlogged and file_deleter turned off it can be a long wait.

What can be even more fun is when the web site will allow you to merge two computers that in fact are different computers.

I 've one computer which I installed new.

I upgraded it from NT to XP on the same HW.
It got a different name.

But I can't merge them.

here are the links:

Any ideas why I can't merge them?
