I would like to contribute. I did the download and it's running on my main computer 1G amd. I am waiting for seti to email me a password so I can join. Should I wait until I join to add my other computer? It's only a K6, but I will add it if that helps.

Good luck to the Team :)

Dill et als,

When you request Seti@Home to send you your SETI PASSWORD...it gets sent immediately.

There have been many people complaining about not getting their password after making a request. The problem usually turns out to be that they used one of the mass email machines like HOT MAIL or YAHOO or some such. Those email accounts have filters that place emails such as the one that Seti@Home sends out (the PASSWORD) in your BULK MAIL or TRASH MAIL. So go check those bins carefully. An easy way to do this would be to completely clean out your BULK or TRASH mail...empty it completely. And then make a request for Seti@Home to send you your SETI PASSWORD. ;)

I hope this helps. :)

I wasn't mailed my password either, and checked my trash folder but it wasn't there. So I nudged them on the seti account page, entered my email address, clicked that I didn't know my password, then they emailed it to me right away. Thanks for the help Smokeball, I am all joined up now!

Dill do you think you may have signed up under an older email address? Or maybe a typo when you entered your email address. I would try signing up again and see if you can get the password.

Thanks for chipping in here Crazee, I worked it out with Dill a little while ago and he is good to go now. I did it via PM so it didn't show that he had been taken care of. Sorry 'bout that....should have thought to let the thread know....like I've done now. :D

I had to uninstall SETI from my main computer at home. The software kept crashing my system after about a minute.

Maybe its because I OCed it from 1Ghz to 1.33Ghz?

I'm putting it on my wife's backup computer a Duron 650 OCed to 950. We'll see what happens.

I have been told that SETI@Home (The CLI version) is a good way to test system stability. Basically, if your machine is going to be prone to crashes, it will crash it. :)

Yes, too aggressive an OC will cause errors in the science (that what this is all about after all) and foul the results of the WU. It will also push any shakey system over the edge. Just back off the OC a little and see if that clears things up.

Yesterday, I pushed my 1900+ XP a little to far and got mangled unusable WUs and my system started acting flaky. I've back it down one notch and now it is good to go. ;)

I case you where wondering why we are recruiting so hard.... :) You see there are other teams that would pass us if it wasnt for the fact that Anandtech was such a great community and there were always real computing buffs/geeks that have been around and contributed to efforts that involved Anandtech as a Whole. :) Join us in the Distributed Computing forum and see if we can't help you get up and running. ;)
