Well, IF I set this up correctly, then there is another 1.5 GHZ cpu with 512 DDR RAM added to the team.

Cool!
OK.. I signed up I only have a K6-2 400mhz at home w/ 192 megs of PC100 RAM
But when I get to school I'll add those comptuers too
Athlon 1.4ghz 512mb DDR
Athlon 1.4ghz 256mb SDR
Duron 1.0ghz 256mb DDR
Whee.. go Anandtech.

We have added some great new members recently, but we need more. The only reason that DSLR has outproduced us is that they have more members. We have passed the 1500 member mark and they have passed the 1900 mark. We have a lower average processing time so we are able to keep up.
If we added more members, we would crush DSLR because we would be powered by the awesome rigs of Anandtech members!

<< I chose folding over ud because of this paragraph on the oxford site regarding the ud project:
"As between the sponsoring organisations, the results of the study will be the sole and exclusive property of Oxford University. Oxford will initiate and control the filing of any patent applications. Oxford has granted NFCR an exclusive first option to negotiate in good faith a royalty-bearing licence over the results for further drug development. Any royalties NFCR receives from any licensing will be granted back to Oxford University as research funding."
ONLY "...After taking account of any steps necessary to preserve patentability, Professor Richards? research group, the project co-ordinator, will publish the results."
Which means, if they find something, oxford is the gatekeeper, and will sell the information to the highest bidder. So oxford makes billions of dollars, the pharmaceutical comapny pays billions of dollars for the info, and further R&D, and in return for you doing the grunt work for them, your cancer cure costs $100,000.
At least with folding, they are publishing the results of the tests for all to see/use. >>
SETI@Home isn't run by Oxford or UD, it is run by the University of Southern California Berkeley. This helps out a great institution with a project that does more than look for aliens, it shows the power of home computers at work!
Please come support AnandTech and help us beat (as in SMACKDOWN) those puny little DSLR seti crunchers!
They challenged us, they are behind us in the worldwide Team standings - here is where we are:
#15 TeAm AnandTech .. 1510 users 1365621 Work Units
#16 DSLR Team Starfire 1900 users 1323341 Work Units
We are ahead of them in total units by about 42,000 but this race is for who can out produce the other team. Currently they are outproducing us by about 250 units. We need more members producing more work if we are going to come from behind and
BEAT THEM!!!!!!
We need your help, please come aboard and join up TeAm AnandTech now and start producing for the Seti@Home race!

your cpu cycles aren't being put to any productive use.
you're all wasting your time.
you are all being collectively measured, nothing more. if your cpu cycles were put to use, then there would noticeable difference in your system's performance. It's a beautiful idea - pooling potential power. But there's no way to tap it, and utilize it. Since it's all so far apart. I didn't know there were so many suckers.

Thanks for the Bump...
(Regardless, even if it only brings enjoyment, it's still better than the "Idle" routine run by most OS'es these days.....Which truely does nothing but LOOP)
Someone said: your cpu cycles aren't being put to any productive use. you're all wasting your time.
It does raise the temp of your cpu while processing when compared to idle time. The work it does is very well documented so I won't go into that here, some of the cool things that are going on:
Of course we know that the seti@home program looks for non-naturally occuring radio energy, this is what we would consider to be possible signals produced by alien civilization.
Recently Dr. Stephan Hawking put out an interesting document indicating that seti@home data is being used to do "real" work. He says it is being used to find new black holes and other space phenomena. There is the possibility that this system, or one like it could be used to examine the skies looking for earth crossing objects (asteroids, comets etc..). That is real science that could have a great effect on our daily lives.
We are in the very beginning stages of working with distributed computing, but with 3.5 million members and an estimated 6 to 10 million computers connected I say we are making a very good start indeed.

you have NO idea what you are spouting about, that is clear. You need to at least understand what DC is before you argue against it!

Sure they're being put to good use, and it's fun too... Try it, you'll like it
BTW, here is how the seti program uses your PC without you seeing a noticeable difference in your system's performance...
Since most modern operating systems are multitasking (win2000, linux, etc), the seti program (or any other for that matter) can run as one of lowest priority tasks on your computer. When nothing else needs to run, it uses up the system cycles that would otherwise just be chewed up by the system idle process. This idle process runs when there is nothing else for the operating system to do. When the seti program is running, if your PC needs to do anything else (like run other programs - or respond to you typing something), the seti program will be blocked (put to sleep) by the operating system kernel while the higher priority task(s) run to completion. When the higher priority task completes, the operating system checks to see what the next highest priority task is. If it, lets say, happens to be the lowly seti program again then it will continue to run it from the point it was blocked at. Of course, the machine instructions the seti program uses to crunch data take up more system resources than those the idle task do (for example they add, multiply, etc). So it causes your CPU to use more Watts than when just idling, but if you run a screen saver then that is happening already.
Now back to your normally scheduled hot deals...

<< hmmm, very strange hot deal...
doest this belong to dc forum? >>
Actually it is a great hot deal! You get benchmarking tools and stability testing software, you get the comraderie of a great TeAm, you get first crack at some FS/FT that DC members give to other DC members first, and you get to help spread the word about Anandtech!
Now what price would you normally pay for all this???
$39?
$49?
No its your for FREE!
Seriously though since we are promoting the name of Anandtech, the mods let us maintain a thread during races to help recruit new members in our attempt to become the #1 team in the world
Yippee!
(Just felt like bumping this thread)
Ok, got my 1ghz setup up. Sorry, haven't completed any WU's yet.. I almost got one done, but I formatted before it finished. Completely forgot about it. Stupid me. Anyway, I'll be going back to school in about an hour and I'll setup my other computer. I'm not sure I'll contribute much and I don't believe in ET life, but it's fun

Come on guys...jump on it!
We falling behind and could really use your help! :Q
Stop in over at Distributed Computing forum and look around...The people are great and you'll love the TEAM spirit! (Also, if we could get a few people to let them go from Quality Control, you could get the babes, beer and hottub too! :Q)
