my rig eh?

it's a slow athlon XP 1600+ (1.4ghz) hehe. If you want to know more click the link below.
i only have 256MB of ram, would adding more help any with this program? Just wondering.
Lets hope my ibm drive can handle it. last week or so it was making funny sounds (ibm 60gxp model).
when i get a chance i'll try and overclock the fsb to 150. that would make it close to 1600mhz.

thats about it. I'm trying to setup a linux box. Is there a linux version? i would be running mandrake 8.1 on a pentium pro 200mhz. (ew i know lol, but it was FREE!). I can upgrade it to a celeron 766 through evergreen technologies for 200 bucks. *shrugs*

at work i have a pentium 3 - 550mhz. hmmmm.....

Welcome! to Team Anandtech! :D

I don't think adding more ram will specifically help SETI, but may help the overall performance of the PC, depending on the applications you run, how many are open at the same time, etc. :)

There is a Linux version, but it is slower than the Windows version. Depending on the setup, some have gotten best results by running the Windows version in WINE in Linux. :)

MrFluffy (my son) and I have a dual PPro180@200 running Win2KPro and functions as our home SETIQ server and also crunches away at SETI. :)

What MoBo are you using & what OS. I would be intrested in comparing your processing time to mine.
I'm running an XP 1600 w/512Mb. under Red Hat Linux 7.2 (Cannt remember the Mobo at the moment)

I am running SetiAtHome under WINE as well & find it to be about 15 to 20% faster.

I figured out how to set it up to run under Wine and send to my SetiQ proxy :

wine -version nt2k -- <name of seti exacutable> -proxy <your proxy settings>
note the double "-" between the wine command and the program to run. This allows you to send command line arguments to the program to run under wine.

Also you are using the windows executable not the linux one.

I set it up in a shell script to make it easier to run.

Also make sure you use the Command Line version rather than the GUI definetly faster.

Oh & Welcome to the team!!!!!
