Profile: ARSE

Personal background
This is BoB XP2400 's other Seti Username to which the PII 350 (ARSE) is assigned (I have also had an Athlon1400 assighed to it too hense the 10 hr average). BoB XP2400 registered June 27th 2002. Take a look at my main profile!(I'm hoping to make it to the top 10!)
I find that Seti is great for comparing the performance of PC's. When I first started running Seti on my PC (A Duron 900 back in those days) I was using the graphical screensaver version for Windows. A small mistake made me realise that the screensaver wasted so much power and I was pleased with the difference in WU times using commandline version. It took quite a while for me to understand the Seti Driver/Queue system which I now use on all our PC's. Seti Queue runs on my workhorse (along with Seti Driver) and serves the other PC's on the network using Seti Driver. I procured my very first PC, A Pentium 120mhz around Christmas 2001(from a rubbish skip of all places!!). I was totally computer illiterate! I have learned so much in the last year playing around with various machines and my good friend George has taught my everything I know. I then went on to a Cyrix 300, after a few months I bought a Duron 900, upgraded that as and when I needed and after that I build my Athlon XP 1800. Various upgrades later, cpu, memory, moby, HDD etc. I now have my XP2400 and loads of 2700 DDR which is sheer power at an affordable price! As I upgrade, my cast offs get passed down the line to my brother and mother who both have Socket 7 mobys! A very cost effective way of upgrading!
