Broke the 1000 mark! Not a big deal for some but my 168 WU's were hard earned. Long way to go. I don't think I'll ever catch up to some of you guys with only 8-10 WU's per day. Oh well, maybe the top 500! Thanks for the help with the OS question. I've shaved an hour off the P3-450 time (18...

Well, that is funny. Running the NT client under Windows emulation software in Linux. I would have never guessed it would be faster than the native linux CLI. But as Assimilator1 points out, I don't know if 5 minutes is worth the trouble. Right now that client is running Windows 98SE, you...

I'm new to this whole deal. I have a PIII-450 that is not doing a whole lot (besides SETI) and was wondering if I would get more out of it by running Linux. Seems like Windows 98 / XP have so much other "stuff" going on, that I may see a few percentage points difference running an OS that...

From one new guy to another, welcome. I found the forum is very helpful and friendly...so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Tom

VLAR setting has been enabled. I browsed through my "q" and found one lurking in there waiting to be processed:frown:. This is reason for me to put Linux on my spare Athlon 750 that I put together. Certainly a command line only install of Linux with the CLI Seti would be faster than a bloated...

Actually, the P4 1.6 is a Wilamette. I have had only limited success in overclocking. The P4 is on an MSI 6398 (845UltraARU). So, I might try some, but it doesn't have the potential that the Northwood cores have. By the way, I've set up a SetiQ for my local machines, can you guys see it from...

Well thanks for all the replies! I don't feel so bad now. I have three machines running now. My computer is a P4 1.6 and my wife's is a P3-450. I also have an Athlon 750 that I just put back together yesterday for the sole purpose of running Seti. Setiwatch gives me the following data: P4...

:Q I was browsing some of the stats pages to see how I stack up (newbi) and was shocked. Thought I was proud of my Three computers pumping out 4-5 WU's per day. Then I saw some consistent 150-200's! What gives? Are you guys runnung Crays in the closet? Is there something I'm doing wrong...

Thanks for the big welcome! I have been doing Seti on and off for about a year. Just discovered the speed increase by turning off the graphics. Then I found the command line version is very fast also! I'm sure I will have more questions. I will be sure to come back when I do. Again...
