Well, no intensity change, i give up. Sad

@valaki

What tasks are you having difficulty with when intensity is not adjustable?

Example windows drags, slowly opening programs and microlags, stuttering, unusable movie seeing. I did not experience with the old program (0.3.4b)

valaki,

Give ZhashOS a try. I just did a test watching a youtube video on my pc while mining at the same time. It worked without any stuttering and get this.....Only 4GB ram and no (0GB) virtual memory is "ever" required. If you require it, I will figure out a way to post a picture proving it. Sol rate did slow down about 10% or so while watching the video but no stuttering. It is a pendrive O/S and you can keep your windows intact.

I just don't see the point of these mining os's. Install ubuntu, drivers, run miner, that's all.
Don't know what's difficult on this.
And pay a fee for what? meh...

You are absolutely correct. But what is your time worth?

I have 1000+ man hours perfecting this Micro Linux for Mining.

This install is around 900MB and stripped down to lean and mean state. But yet fully usable for daily desktop PC use suitable for a windows convert.

Ubuntu is rather huge and cumbersome. It is just to heavy for my taste.

ZhashOS "never" needs any virtual memory.  So it is well suited to live on a removable pendrive.

But anyone can use ubuntu if they don't mind spending the time (many hours) perfecting it for their needs.
