This is a very sad day. I just received a server I was going to dedicate to the SETI project.

Well, after being a member of this project since 2000ish.. I'd like to thank everyone on the project who made this possible. It was truly a great ride and I'm sad to see it end.

Interesting Article. Curious as to why a School who supports science would not participate in such a project. To bad there isn't a strong PR campaign to support Seti and the other beneficial projects currently being offered.

Hello,
I recently rejoined SETI after not running it for a few years.

I noticed something last week on the screen saver that I never noticed before and haven't seen since.

It said "Breakthrough - Listening" Anyone know what that means?

That's good advice. Oh, XFX is going to warranty the card so I will have two soon. :)

I have been using Cuda since it came out. My problem is last Sept I bought a new video card a 8800 and the fan went out last week. I purchased a new 9800 and now when I run Cuda units my GPU fan is constantly turning on and off. My fear is I will loose another card.

Is this normal? If not how can I disable Cuda?

Ok. I ran it. In the instructions is shows SSE2 and SSE3 instructions. So I should be good.

I've been crunching since 2001 and only use the stock Seti. I have been reading a lot about the optimized versions for AP and MB.

Here is the system I have and I would like to know what you recommend I run and how if possible. I am not computer illiterate just haven't really tried anything other versions. I am looking to increase the production of work units since my PC is idle for most of the day.

Ok.. Thank you
I just wanted to make sure I was crunching as much as my computer can handle.
10) Questions and Answers : Windows : Video Card Processing (Message 812813)
Posted 28 Sep 2008 by Profile Davey9009
Post:
I have an AMD dual core so I am processing two units at the same time. However, I have a new video card with it's own processor the NVIDIA 8800 GTS Alhpa model. It has a 600 speed processor on it. Does any know how I can have the video card start processing units?
A friend of mine says it can be done with the folding project but I have been running SETI for the past 7 years.
