Nighthawk69 - depending on the OS that you are running, you might want to be careful how you set the priority. On anything except NT or 2K, a "high priority" will essentially lock up your machine and you won't be able to do much! Normal should be fine as the fastest you can do with 95/98/98SE/ME. I have tested "real time" priority on 2K and it did what "high" would do on the other windoze iterations - LOCK UP!... heh. Also, if you set the priority via the option in SetiDriver, then the priority gets set for the seti executable, not Setidriver. Setidriver just sortof sits there and waits until called upon to transmit or download, so it's not really doing anything.

And yes, setting a higher priority does speed up processing a little but not as much as you'd probably like it to... 🙂
 
hey Poof,
I have set all mine too high, except the server, thru taskinfo 2000. Hvaen't had a lock up yet! Think it all has to do with what is running. Now trying the real time setting locked me up but not high setting, worth a try on boards that you don't use all the time!!!
 
On my win2K, "high" is how I normally run it. But on 98, "high" was sortof equal to 2K's "real time"... at least for me! But then again, if you've got a dedicated cruncher and set it to the highest priority, who cares???? heh heh 😛
