Why's it a waste ?

 

[murphy55d]

WinXP Pro on my computer... Win98 on my old cpu which I gave to my mom and sister to use.

 

[monk3y]

Just got one Athlon 1.0Ghz (XP)... I'm thinking of getting a laptop, but really don't know much about them, I'll have to do my research before I get it.

I have 4 at home right now, which is one too many...

1) One server with dual PIII-600's running Win 2K
2) One Athlon 700 gaming maching dual-booting Win98 SE and XP Pro
3) One old hunk o' junk PII-300 running Win 2K
4) A PIII-700 laptop from work, running Win 2K

I'd sell the old PII-300, but I bet that I wouldn't get anything for it.

Abit BP6 Triple Boot w/Dual 533 Celerons (98/W2K/Mandrake Linux)
Abit BH6 with Celeron 300@450, Win2K/Redhat 7.2

Intel Nightshade w/Dual PII 400, Win2K Advanced Server+Redhat 7 Linux

and a POS Tyan (Celeron) in my old lady's with Win 98.

And yes, I'm already cracking for DC. Not all the above computers run at the same time.

<< Why's it a waste ? >>



Because running anything DC is for fun, and most of the time is a good cause, and it's not hurting anything/anyone to run it.. it's a waste when a computer with some decent power is doing nothing... I hate coming to work and seeing that my seti production is not running... makes my day bad.. all of my computers should be cracking and hopefully are cracking 24-7 and it doesn't hurt stability or performance, and it gives your high powered CPU's a chance to flex their muscles.. there isn't a hell of alot of use for a blazing fast CPU just for games and surfing the net... DC projects is where your high MHz get to shine.

More fun than a barrel of geeks at a Star Trek Convention



<< it's a waste when a computer with some decent power is doing nothing >>

who says they are doing nothing?I don't turn them on unless I'm either watching DVD's, Surfing the net or using them for work. I'm not about to leave them on wasting electricty for some inane geek project.

A box of about 10 DIMMS of various sizes and speeds<PC133 I'm sure about half of them are dead though.
A stack of video cards, mostly 2mb Trio64 type.
3 or 4 NICs
A 6.4 GB HD, however I think this drive is dead, or dying, and some old 520 mb drives.
heh I just need a few cases w/ power supplies to put up some more SETI boxes.
