	How many Computers do you have Running BOINC Projects? I only have 2 - an ACER Desktop with Windows VISTA, which I Run 5 Projects (including SETI), and a HP Notebook with Windows 7: I only Run SETI on The Notebook. The Desktop only has 2 or 3 SETI WU's at one time, but the Notebook has up to 30 or 40 WU's at one time. Maybe you may like to consider trying this if you can Dedicate a Computer to SETI alone. You could also try SUSPENDING ALL Projects Except SETI on one Particular Computer (if you have more than one), and leave them Suspended for 3 or 4 days to see if you get any work from SETI (or even if you only have one Computer, you could still try it to see if it makes any difference) ... BUT ... Make sure that You UPDATE to Upload any Completed Tasks before Suspending The Project. Also, Select 'NO NEW TASKS' and Suspend Projects that have NO TASKS at Present before any others, so that it/they won't attempt to Download New Tasks when you Suspend other Projects. ____________ GALAXY-VOYAGER

	3 active, have up to five to run, but only my three active ones are worth it. And i don't always run boinc heavy, I often dial back to a small percentage on one machine, and sometimes go off on credit benders occasionally where I make my house very noisy and warm. ____________ -Dave #2 3.2.0-33

	Six across both main and Beta. At the moment 3 and 3 as Beta is a little short of work. I used to run WGC and Einstein but none gives me the satisfaction of SETI! ____________ Today is life, the only life we're sure of. Make the most of today.
