During the last 6 weeks the amount of returned units has been something like 250k per day except for the last four days it's been only 100k. Is this a growing trend here (people getting tired of the project)... I'm no longer considered an active user (over 2 weeks of inactivity). It would be neat if you could have a distributed crunching of a unit so that my two machines would both work on the same unit to crunch it faster. That would make the project even more distributed than it is now. IP: Logged |

Wow. Somebody really needs me. There's a purpose to my life. Wow. 
Seriously, I've concentrated my efforts on the RC5 project lately, for Team 3DNow! of course. BTW, what comes to distributing the project even more, I've thought it should be possible to fool a client that it already has crunched a certain percentage of the unit so that you could have two machines working on one unit, the first would do say some 40% and the other 60%. Then you would just combine the results to come up with the result file that would be sent back. IP: Logged |

Well, I too am guilty of swapping units between machines and operating systems. What I meant was to go a step further by automating the process with a neat server that would swap the units forth and back between the machines. Or actually slices of units so that you would process one unit at a time, not three. Somehow one at a time is more appealing. IP: Logged |

Although I hate it I use one of the Celerons in the SMP machine to do SETI units again to help the team, that means I do 2 units a day that way. IP: Logged |

I too run on non-K6 machines. I have a K6-2-400 and P200 here at home on a network, but often use up to 5 P2's at work (Speed varies) and do this just to gain more WU's for the cause (Both our group and Seti) Dave IP: Logged |

Hey dudes. I'm adding my K6-III 472 to the cause. Hope that helps a little. ;0 <grin> Oh yeah... does RAM make a difference? This beast has 192 megs of ram (105 MHz bus). Bite me Intel! IP: Logged |

RAM certainly make a difference if you run other applications with SETI@home. The more RAM you have, the smaller is the probability of filling up the RAM and swapping to disk, and the faster everthing (including SETI@home) will go... IP: Logged |

Hi! Sorry, I thought our team would keep the work units. Currently I have only very few pcs for seti available... bye! IP: Logged |

doesnt matter how small the contribution is, it is still a contribution. :-) ------------------ Pieter :*) IP: Logged |

The NT CLI version takes only 13MB of ram, but as long as you have 64MB or more of RAM, then you should have no problems with RAM. I have 96MB and can run anything and see no difference running the CLI version (Except when I play Quake 2 of course ;-) David IP: Logged |
