Yes Ozz I know...but just wondered how the REAL crunchrer's get their things trough... how much of pending credit do they have...sorry a little bit of the topic...but it would be nice to know. And Robert I'll ask you for some information about those CPU coolers when you get back...take it easy and enjoy...very easy to say with a blown graphic card and the main computer down...(climbing walls)

Nice work Robert, but I would really like to see it crunching numbers even before you get it finally (do you ever) updated. I'm only running a Core i7 920 and I'm still piling up more pending credit than can be verified (Seti@home)...so how do you BIG guys get you're credits verified ? Btw a warning...tried MilkyWay on my Ati GPU today...a big bang in about 20 seconds...the fans didn't even react ? so...back tomorrow with a better one :) Please keep us informed how the project goes on... and greetings to all from Finland !

The recent problems made it more than obvious that the projects needs some serious funding.

Instead of complaining how about you people donate some money to the project? Just a few bucks each.

Taking into consideration how much money each individual here spends on high end GPUs, quad cores CPUs, power bill, etc. 5$ won't hurt anybody.


I agree, I'll donate 50 euros tomorrow and challenge all off you to do the same !
I just spent 1600 on some new components and I know I'm not the only one... so who will do the same and donate ?
