Hey, ive got a Mobile running at 2.4Ghz thats on 24/7.. i can have it running Distributed Computing maybe 15hrs a day, and a P3 933mhz i can have running 20/7


I figure i might as well do something with them. 🙂


Which one(s) should i join?
 
TSC seems to specialized for me, and LifeMapper seems sort of pointless. 🙂


Right now im looking at the cancer drug research and seti@home

Would have helped a LOT if you had said that up front...
 
at that point i hadent researched them enough to decide. 🙂

Just finished signing up for, and setting up Seto@Home.. if the toolbar icon is yellow -- thats good, correct? 🙂
 
I did use that.

i have the SETI 1 dos window running in the background right now. 🙂

So when should i see measurable progress, IE first WU done, on a p3 933?
 
Pathogen03, welcome to the TeAm! Glad to have you with us. 🙂

Find-a-Drug and/or United Devices, I believe do cancer work also.

The better DC clients run as an idle process. You will not notice they are running as you use your computer. I have Folding@Home running 24/7 and the kids have no problem playing games that use lots of CPU. (I have 1gig of ram) The F@H client even gets a little work done when they are playing! 🙂

quote: "Is it ok to run two simultaneously?"

If you have a P4 with HT you can increase your production by running two clients simultaneously. I have gotten up to a 31% increase in production with some F@H WUs by running two at same time. I have also run D2OL and F@H simultaneously, they play nice together. I don't know about other DC projects. I don't think you can increase production by running two on non HT computer.

Thank you for helping humanity by running Distributed Computing!
 
If the icon is yellow you have completed work to send back, if the icon is blue you have work processing, if the icon is red you are out of work to process
 
hey pathogen, first off welcome to the TeAm! secondly, how about you check out this page and do some research on different projects. people here will try to be helpful but doing some reading on your own is always a good tool as well. the most important thing is to just participate in something, not anything specific, that you believe in and think is for a good cause. every cpu cycle matters and we are glad to have you on the TeAm for whatever project(s) you choose :beer:
 
YELLOW is not good. Hit the TRANSMIT button (especially if you don't already have AUTO TRANSMIT checked). Let us know what happened.

I'm not positive how long it should take, but I would estimate around ~7hrs or so for a WU on Seti considering my old AXP 1900+ finished one in about 4.5-5hrs and the 3200+ does it just under 2 hrs.
 
Thank you all for the help. 🙂

I think im going to run Seti@Home and FaD...


Btw, i checked auto transmit now Seti is showing a number of transmit windows, gathering data and then beginning anew.. i think its filling my queue of 10 items.. and the icon turned green. 🙂



Do you guys think it would be more efficient to run FaD and Seti@Home on both PCs, or dedicate one to FaD, one to Seti@Home?
 
Look in your task manager, if it is spliting the load then it is fine with both. If not put FaD on the faster one... 😉
