Would it not be possible for someone to come up with a bit of software that monitors Boinc Seti and if it has no WU to process loads up Seti classic. When Boinc downloads a unit then it closes classic down. Alternatively just run both of them, they do work together several of my machines are doing so, it is not as fast but seems to go when the machines are quiet. Julian Rouse |

possible? Probably. Worth it? Maybe. But you are missing one big thing... if this happened, then what would people complain and whine about? :) ------------------------------------------- - A member of The Knights Who Say NI!

On usenet ~misfit~ wrote this: Same here Jason, just a couple per machine overnight (NZ time). I'm glad I left them on. Nowhere near full cache's though, unless I get more I'll be out again on one machine by this afternoon and another by tomorrow. I'd re-installed SETIDriver and SETSpy along with the 3.03 CLI client in the meantime. I'm pleased to report that, with SETIDriver set to 'idle', SETI Classic does in fact hand off all CPU cycles to BOINC with Win XP, so I can leave Classic running as an auto-backup system for times that BOINC is starved. Unfortuneately it doesn't seem to work quite the same with 98SE, the machine I have both on is still ticking over Classic as well as BOINC. I'm not sure how much of the CPU is going to each client, it's a slow(ish) machine anyway and I don't have enough data to say empirically. At a guess? 75% BOINC 25% Classic. I'll update if anyone's interested when it's finished a Classic WU with BOINC running (if I continue to get enough BOINC units), I should be able to work it out more accurately then. Anyway, Woooohooooo!!!!!!!!! -- ~misfit~ Maybe it is of some use to you. <p align="center"> </img> |

I am probably being thick but please explain, what tool are you talking about? Julian Rouse |
