Is there any way to change the Communication Deferred times on Boinc? For some projects with limited work, such as LHC, extended deferral times can easily cause you to miss work releases.

I don't want to be pinging the server every 10 minutes but, I also don't want to get an automatic 2+ day communcation deferral.

Thank you,

I have an old Linux machine in my closet I was coinsidering bringing out of hibernation.

It'sa PII MMX 200Mhx, the kick is that it only has 96 megs of ram.

Will this work?

Opteron 144, FSB 200 MHz, HTT 1000 MHz, 1800 MHz core speed, SSE2&3, socket 939
512 MB DDR-400 memory non-ECC, not dual channel yet (still need the other ram in other pc) Would dual channel memory be a huge improvement?

AMD64s I'm talking about all have SSE2 and DDR-400 nonECC as well

Happy new year!

I haven't received work since 18 December. It's the only machine not getting work. The Computer ID is
1863534.

Imho that extra 512kB wont process wu's much faster, or i'm mistaken?

I know that the difference between the older AMD64 single-cores (512KB) and the newer ones (1MB) is considerable, which is why I went with a 3700 w/1MB instead of a 3800 w/ 512KB; non-overclocked, the 3700 was already faster on SETI. I think it makes _more_ difference when running the "stock" application, because it comes closer to fitting everything in cache. Crunch3r's app uses more memory for the trig tables, so the on-chip cache is probably less important with it.

I agree. All of my teammates use the same AMD64 3000+, 512kb cache, even on the same mobo. I recently bought an Opteron 144, same speed but double cache.
And it crunches a little bit slower (~5 min.) with same core speed of
1.8 GHz. Just wondering why...
