Mine dropped from 3 hours to 17 minutes for an average unit..... Unfortunatley it also kept crashing the Video card.... some really pretty effects... So rolled back to NON cuda version

They have to send out a letter for tax reasons to every donour. And that mail costs money, REALLY..????? :O Does it have to be a phyisical letter.... or would an email do..???

5) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Any point? (Message 129344) Posted 28 Jun 2005 by Loony Post: Don't forget.... Just because you return a completed work unit... doesn't mean you instantly get credit for it...... Seti holds on to completed work units, untill other users have completed the same work unit, before working out what credit you should recieve. (Try going into your stats, you can find a list of returned workunits that are awaiting confirmation!!) And I have noticed, that the project doesn't always seem to automatically update, when uploading work units.... My machine stays on 24/7.. no problems here...
