See the front page news. Webpages are being updated little by little.

BOINC's new Online Help system lets you get help from volunteers by talking with them using Skype. Volunteers speak several languages.

And don't forget about IRC. irc.freenode.org channel #boinc.

It's been helping boincers for 3 years now.

There are folks who speak German, Australian, American, English, Spanish/Portuguese. Open 24/7!

Folks have experience with 'doze, linux (various flavours) and maybe mac. Plus we have a good general chat as well.

Every little bit helps.

Live long and BOINC.

Howdy

I have been gone for about two years but started up again a couple of days ago. I am running two dual processor P4s 24/7 and will add a third part time when I get around to it.

Im not presently interested in user stats or average CPU stats. But I wish to know how to list out the CPU performace data for individual machines not users who have like 20 of them. This info would be usefull when building a new PC. So as to assist in identifying the best CPU to use for processing large numbers of Seti work units. Theoreticaly the Intel QX6700 on a Vapour cooling system should give the best results. But I dont see that setup featuing on any of the leaderboards. I am somewhat confused why this info is not more clearly available.
