Made an assimilation today, a P2-400 running 24/7 CLI with seti driver. My co laid off 10 people last week. :( Unfortunately, only one of them had a PC, so I snatched it up today as I was walking by the empty cubicle. Hell, she was still logged in!!!

Prob good for 2-3 wu's a day, eh? :D

Congrats to you on beating both Vader2K and me for 3000 ! :) :D

Fardringle is not far from the finish line... ;)

Is someone crunching WUs for me ? My numbers seems to be too high for my fleet... :eek:

Heh. I don't think you'll have any problem reaching that goal, but for me to make it I'll need to increase my daily average by about 2.5-3 WU's per day. If we can ever get that mass assimilation going here (the system we were going to use doesn't seem to want to play nice :() then I can easily surpass that, but if not, then I may just have to get a new computer... ;)

OOPS! Polo, that is my fault. I thought the race was to 2000, and I didn't notice that you had started a race to 3000. You have been a great Teammate for such a long time, I felt you deserved a few honorary WU's. I remember when I was a newbie and you welcomed me to the Team... :) I also got my answer to how fast the Duron can do WUs at 840MHz/105FSB/PC133/CAS2 on 3.0 CLI... about 4.8 hours per WU average. The dualeron donated a CPU for a couple days too. So I figure you are about 14 WUs ahead because of that.


I will happily crack 14 WU's for any of the other 3k racers too, in order to even things out. Just PM me or email me with the email address you use ;)

Thanks MechBgon ! :) I was wondering if one of my work computers was crunching faked WUs. It was unlikely because no one of these machines are overclocked. Now I know what happened... ;)
It was not necessary but the help is much appreciated ! :) :)

I think you now have to push Vader2K's stats ! :) and then you could join the SETI TeAm !!! :) :D
We'll all be glad to welcome you ! :)

I will gladly push Vader2K's stats, I just need his email address and the boosting will commence... :)

I have actually done SETI for Team Anandtech for quite a while, off and on, but under networkman's email rather than my own.

Nexus9 says 4
<edit> So does Orange's site?? Now I am really confused

I did flush my 233 with 6 though. Oh well I might finally make it

Thx Polo:cool:

I got thru to Nexus9's stats earlier today. It showed 75 wu's for me yesterday!! THAT is my best single day ever. Moving all those clients to CLI with SETI driver is starting to pay off...BIG TIME.

Out of paranoia, I have decided to stop asslaminating PC's at work. I'm gonna leave my herd where it's at because the output is quite satisfactory. My fear is if it grows too large, our corporate MIS dept may take notice due to all the firewall traffic. Right now, SETI sends a data request about every 20 minutes. At the rate I'm going, I may start to make too much traffic. It's gonna be tuff to resist, cause there is AT LEAST 300+ more PC's that I could technically assimilate. This is worse than crack...LOL. :D

Badthad, do you have broadband at home, and a CD burner or Zip drive? I hope you do, because I'm writing the rest of this post based on that assumption. :)

I have a pretty good idea on how to assimilate the rest of those computers...just think of what would happen to our team's output with an additional 300 WU/day!!! :Q:Q:Q And, my idea doesn't rely on sending ANY data through your company's firewall. :D

Now, lets figure 300 PC's of various speed would average maybe 1 WU/day/PC in an 8 hour work day.

Now, 300 PC's * 360 KB/WU = 108 MB or so per day of WU's. Easily small enough to fit on a CD-R/CD-RW, or even a Zip 250. You could use 2 Zip 100's too. :)

Remember, SETI result files are MUCH smaller than the WU's. Looking at my few results sitting on my computer waiting to be flushed, result files are about 2-3 KB each. 300 PC's * 3 KB/result is about 1 MB, which will fit on a floppy fine.

Here's what I suggest you do. Set up a SETIQ server for your entire building on a PC in your cubicle (don't you have like 5? lol). I'd keep about 3-4 days worth of WU's on the server. Also, you'll need to setup a SETIQ server on a PC at your house if you don't have one already. Then, use a CD or Zip disk to shuttle WU's from your home PC to the SETIQ server at work. You can use a floppy or Zip disk to get the results back home. I believe this should put no data through your company's firewall. :)

Just remember to turn off SETIQ before messing with the WU's so it doesn't get confused. ;)
