why not tinker with linux on it.... my old machine crunced about 2WU a day on linux when crunching 1 a week on win98SE (that machine has since died but was nearly 10 years old....) (400MHz celeron, 64MB PC100 RAM 4GB HDD etc.etc) |

Well it is installed not sure if its working yet. I think its getting reporting errors. Oh well not as bad as when I tried to install Itunes. lol My DVD drive dissapeared. :( don't these guys and gals over at Microsoft use a Ipod lol Yes. Working good. And I just did a reqular install in a separate directory. c:/Bonic It takes about 3 hours to complete one unit now and I can run 2 clients at the same time. :) |

It takes about 3 hours to complete one unit now and I can run 2 clients at the same time. :) Please be careful with the terminology, Fred. Changing the client (BOINC) will make a marginal difference, at best, and probably no detectable difference at all. It's changing the science application (SETI) that makes the significant difference. Optimised SETI apps are available from the same website. I mention it because there seem to have been a number of people recently that believe that, just because Crunch3r's BOINC client reports higher benchmark values, it actually speeds their computer up by that proportion. Not true. |
