Old Dell Dimension E521 with an upgraded AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ has new life from the garbage bin at Lee's Bottle Depot and is now doing molecular modelling on WCG and searching for intelligent extra terrestrial life somewhere in the universe with SETI@home all at the same time. I had to run a little modification program I downloaded from Lunatics website to get it to run Nvida CUDA on this older Nvidia 9500 GT card the default BOINC Manager doesn't like using older cards for some reason but got it going now XD!!

Good to hear you rescued the Ol' Feller from the rubish bin and give it a new home.
