Porteus

I was just wondering before I download the ISO, will it run on an AMD-64 processor, or is only Intel supported?

Yes, it supports AMD. I've run it on an AMD-64 dual core processor on my desktop machine (Athlon, if I recall correctly).

Thanks!

@Yinepu
I use Porteus 1.1_64 on my PC (AMD processor) and on my laptop (Intel Processor). It works great on both.
Regards.

AMD Athlon X2 250 works fine with Porteus
Intel Core i7 works fine too
Intel Core i5 works fine too
Intel Core i3 works fine too
AMD Phenom x2/x4 works fine

Will it run on my commodore 64?

I think, it will run only the v09 version of Porteus 32-bit Edition in text mode with an MC...

Intel Core i5 works fine too fine here also. But I am wondering if Porteus is actualy using them all. I mean if can recognise all CPU-s.

Congratulation to all make my dreams come true with Porteus!
Respect!

Rest assured Porteus is using all processors. You can always install a monitor such as conky to see the usage.

Dear brokenman,

Thank you for reply. I will try to install conky.

All the best.

Hi,

I managed to install conky without problems. But now I wish to made a print screen to post it here, because I do not see information regarding usage by CPU. I am keep searching to made the print screen. If somebody can give me support in this action, please post.

Thank you in advance,
Regards.

@amplatfus,

Please start a new topic for this. Maybe in Development or Bug reports, as you want.

I don't use conky so I'm not familiar with the configuration, but I've been compiling some stuff for Xfce and added the 'cpu-graph-plugin', which displays cpu usage for each processor in the panel (Xfce only, I'd imagine). I have an intel i5 quad-core as well, and all four processors were shown in the cpu graph, they all showed independent reads as I ran different processes, and when I was compiling some programs with 'make -j8', all four processers were maxed out. Add to this the fact that the new machine compiles WAY faster than my old dual core machine, and I'm positive all 4 cores are being recognized and utilized.
