One of my computers was recognized by BOINC 3 as "GenuineIntel Pentium". When I installed Win XP and BOINC 4, it was recognized as "GenuineIntel 467MHz Pentium" and both cannot be merged. I prefer i could merge any two hosts in my list, not only the ones that your algorythm finds to be identical... Or at least change the algorythm....

Hi,

I agree, as long as it doesn't lead to anyone tweaking their stats! I've got a system I upgraded shortly after joining SETI that only processed a few units. I'd really like to merge it with with the replacement but as the CPUs are different I can't !

Regards,

Keith

Just had a second thought.... if it's likely to cause grief with people 'boosting' stats on a particular machine perhaps you could just allow people to delete the system and allocate any of the credits to some sort of slush fund. (either retained with that user or stored globally for the Seti project).

Then at least if I look on boincstats I'm don't end up getting compared to people with 3 systems when I only have two active.

:-)

Cheers,

Once all the work assigned to the old computer has cleared out of the server it should be possible to delete the old computer. Check back from time to time.

And you get to keep the credits.
