You did not say what version of Windows you installed but guessing it's XP and you just bumped into Microsofts protection klunkiness ... see --> http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/wpa.php .... swapping the drives between boxes caused the "score" to change by too much and MS balks and won't boot.

Dell XPS M170 Pentium M 780, 2Gb ram - 41.015 secs.
AMD X2 4200+, some MSI motherboard, 1GB ram. - 40.828 secs.

This was only with SETI "snoozed". could have shut a few more programs down, but was too lazy. On the AMD, i was running via Remote Desktop (well, remote administrator, not windows remote desktop), but did have seti "snoozed". Neither machine is OCed (very hard to overclock a Dell, plus it is a laptop.)

Now I just wish there was a PS3 Seti App, Linux or not. With the price coming down, I may eventually buy one(a used 60GB model). :D

There is an SETI application for the PS3. Please look at this thread : http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=39910

As Gaurav has stated in this thread, the fft analysis (the most computationally intensive part) is done on the SPEs.



Thanks for the link! I guess i didnt search enough.

I am currently running the PS3GRID release of YDL with Boinc. Just wondering if there as been any headway with a SETI app that actually uses the Cell SPEs correctly yet?

Any links would be wonderful, if any type of project like this does exist.

Just wondering what happened to http://www.joypipe.net? that is the home page for the guy that is the "owner" of the USAF team for Seti.

David A. DesLauriers - What is going on man? lol

Thanks..
