sorry i'm a complete newbie. how do i use that que?

I had 4 to 6 in que for each of my systems but they go through them really quickly. As of right now I have about 6 WU that needs to be transmitted and two of my systems are idle :( Only one has anything the crunch and it will be done with that in less then an hour :( I'll use the down time...

I two of my systems can't connect to transmit the finshed WUs. What do I do?

It should work fine. If one of the drive is slightly smaller then you will lose the difference in the larger drive. IE you wont be able to access it. It's generally not recommened to use two different manufacturers but you can do it.

Nevermind I found setiwatch :) so does seti care about cache? my times appear to be pretty slow :( Don't make me buy this! Monster!

Where do you get seti watch? I tried the link but it keep crashing. If it's not too big can someone e-mail it to me? That looks like it's faster then my Dual Xeon 1.8GHz! I'm crunching 3 at a time and it take about 5~6hours for complete all 3.

So if i'm crunching 2 processes at the same time then it would be 12? I bumped the processes to 3 and cpu utilization is now at 100% but the system still responds well, ie, I can still surf, etc. I'm guessing it's because I have a whole another processor doing nothing in the server. how do I...

how do you calculate how many WU/day you do? is there any way to look that up? I'm crunching 2 processes at a time and it takes my SuperServer about 4hr 30min to complete 2. I'm also thinking of upping the processes crunched to 3 from 2 since have plenty of CPU utilization left. It's...

Hehhe Nice. I'm at a little over 4hours but I'm crunching 2 processes at a time and doing folding@home on the same machine :) For stats check the SuperServer link in my sig :)

Don't no Never use RAID 5 for databases. When the array goes into a degraded mode it will cause all kinds of havic with the application. You always want to use RAID 0/1 for dtabases. For what you want to use I would use RAID 5 but not use more then 5 diskn the array. That leaves1 disk for a...

Here is one reason. You can attache 7 SCSI CD-burners in a tower and make 7 copies of 1 cd at once. You can't do that with IDE burners. but yeah SCSI desktop has been going down and is nearly dead now. As to why some people still buy scsi cd drives... beats me. Some people just want scsi only.

10 U160 drives is about the max you want to put on a single RAID5 array. Beyond that you wont see much of a performance gain, less then .5% for each drive added after the 10th. Another thing you have to keep in mind is once a single drive fails, the array will be in a degraded state. Which...

The type of interface has nothing to do with throughput. For example your 48X cd-rom on IDE is transfering at 7.2mb/s. A 12x SCSI 50-pin device is transfering at 1.8mb/s. The IDE has bandwidth of 33mb/s while the SCSI one is probably 20MB/s <---that's for Ultra SCSI. It's not the interface but...

Yes you can provided you have a free PCI slot available :) In fact USB 2.0 ports will step down to 1.1 speed automatically when you plug in a USB 1.1 device.

I'm just started yesterday but. on one system i'm doing SETI and in another system I'm doing folding.
