Evidently not this time! :)

Well, sadly I can't report anything but bad news. I don't have any perfect way to compare, but so far, all my P3 based machines are taking 15m, 30m or 1hr more (depending on the speed of the CPU) to do the WU's that I've seen. Of course, the only thing I have to base this on is hand-written...

:shocked: SB... Seek help man! Before your addiction goes too far! ;) I'm the complete opposite of ya man... got tired of the noise and now I'm running an Antec 'quiet' case with one BIG, slow-swinging 120mm to do it all.... with lots of Zalman passive cooling inside. :)

Hey (fellow) old man, I've been doing a bit of that at home now. Only using Pinnacle Studio though, so nothing serious. I'm happy with my rendering times on an Athlon 3000+ (400Mhz) with some nice Ballistix RAM in it so far. ;) Doing video editing for the nuke crowd or did you move on to...

I just got 4.09 installed on all 7 of mine today (late-afternoon), so gimme some time to accumulate some WU's and I'll let you know. :) Now that I have BOINCView installed and monitoring both home and work machines, I don't have to worry about catching the WU's before they flush out...

Yep, good stuff for sure. They're finally starting to get more kinks worked out of S@H BOINC... I've been running a portion of my machines on CPDN to make sure that they never run out of work, but I've had no trouble keeping the SETI WU's going happily. :)

Ray, Actually, recovering a re-entry vehicle on a parachute, mid-air, with an aircraft has been done hundreds of times (see the Corona project which caught returning spy satellite film cannisters this way), but it's been so long that they'd have to find old air force pilots about YOUR age to...

For what it's worth, S@H BOINC showed a brief glimmer of life for me about 1 hour ago. 1 of my clients just happened to get an answer back from the scheduler and attempted to d/l 8 WU's. 3 of them succeeded a 5 of them failed for various weird reasons. I know it's not much, but I think it...

saabcaptain, I'm also still sort of trying to settle on my 'mix' of the BOINC projects. At the moment, I've biased my settings toward S@H, with enough towards CPDN to make sure even my slower machines don't fail to finish a WU in time (them are some big suckers, eh?!) to have them expire...

All I can say conclusively is that installing SP2 was the worst thing I've ever done shy of having my arm twisted into running Windows XP at all. :disgust: Post install, the startup times were horrible (but I figured I could live with it). Took me forever to figure out how to get rid of the...

Oh YES! :D ...or at least it would be, if all things were working right. Nothing worse than having something go wrong with your BOINCer. :P ...except possibly that problem of wanting to BOINC, but having nothing available to BOINC! ;)

Rattledagger, Since the S@H BOINC site has been down (at least every time I've tried to access it) for nearly a week, I've not been able to read this 'trick'. Any chance you could convey to me what it is or how to do it. I've tried uninstalling BOINC, then re-installing and making sure not to...

Personally, I just set my profile to 99% SETI and 1% Predictor on BOINC. That way, during 'dry' times from S@H, at least I'm doing something valuable and don't have to worry about fiddling with clients. Of course, the fact that I've now done nearly as much Predictor work as S@H is rather...

My curiousity has been killing me on this.... Anyone else wondering if OverVolt hasn't updated due to a hospitalization? ;)

Looks good to me Spacehead. :thumbsup: I don't see anything I'd add at this time. :cool:
