Had a Seti@home account a long time ago, just got to thinking about it again, so decided to log in and start it back up. Looks like my old account probably got deleted due to inactivity... :( But I am glad to be back to crunching numbers for seti. Got three of my computers crunching numbers, and thinking about rebuilding some of my older systems to put on the home network just to do seti@home. Anyway, just thought I would jump in and say hello on the boards, will check out the rest of the forums later on. Peace and chicken grease! |

Hi Frank, Welcome back. Little suggestion, if you are going to spend the money on power to crunch look into higher end graphic cards. GPUs are actually much faster for number crunching than CPUs. So dollar for dollar you money is better spent power of the faster GPUs rather than probably 8 or 9 CPUs. Seat of the pants estimate there. Should ask in "Number Crunching" for a more precise estimate. |

Welcome back Frank! Nice to have you return to the Seti clan. Before you spend any jing to rebuild or reactivate your old rigs, ask some questions in the Number Crunching forum if you would like any opinions or advice.... Old rigs can often be given a new lease on life with the addition of a GPU or two. But sometime the PSU has to be upgraded too. And don't forget to check into the Lunatics installer to optimize performance. Meow meow meow! "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone.. :) I tried the "reclaim" option, but it told me that I could not since the email address is associated with this new BOINC account... :( Guess that is what I get for not reading fully about the new setup prior to just jumping in both feet, hands and face first, lol.... :) It is all good, will just have to make sure that my machines crunch 24/7.... So, this bar you speak of, I think it is time to check out the selections!! :) |

Thanks everyone! Working on personalizing my account, just created an av and signature. And taking some time to check out other areas on the forums. I know we are not alone, I just hope to see proof in my lifetime... |

Welcome back Frank and Michael. All might not be lost. Maybe you can just link one of the old comps to the old account and restore it. Use it for the forums and let the other just crunch on the new one. We really don't care about credits here. Just MHO Pluto will always be a planet to me.

The only computers it shows are the new ones that I have put onto the project. Just those four. None of my old computers from wayyy back. I know we are not alone, I just hope to see proof in my lifetime... |
