Purchased a s/h HP Elitebook 2570p off eBay, (Machine no. 8285120) put max 8GB RAM in it and 120 GB SSD. This crunched the WUs very well and at a fraction of my TU (DELL Xeons 8023146) electricity cost. However, after a few days, I got the message "This copy of Windows is not genuine...." Didn't stop the fast WU crunching with average credits > 4000 a day - easily the most productive laptop and almost half of the TU daily average of around 9000 credits. Anyway got fed up with the notice so bought a Win7 licence off eBay and installed it after a lot of trouble having to download lots of HP drivers. When I downloaded BOINC again, I got a new machine number 8330266 so I merged this with 8285120 getting message that the latter had "been retired" (shades of Blade Runner....) so the no. 8330266 is the current one. I keep my own daily figures of credits for each machine and decided to check these against FreeDC. The daily figures for 8330266 are identical to another HP machine: Elitebook 2570p when I check them on FreeDC and much less than my own credit figures which I check at the (roughly) same time every day. Can anyone tell me what is going on here? |

FreeDC is a third party organisation. How they calculate and present your data is outside of SETI@Home's control. It would be best if you approached them through their own forum or support pages.
