Want to join a team but which one?

[1sk8er]

Hi I'm new to Anandtech and saw the distributed computing forum and thought I might like to help. As of now I have 2 computers but will have 3 in a month or so as I will be building another. I have a small 400 mhz 256 meg ram and a 2.7 ghz with 512 meg ram. I will be building an AMD Athlon 3500+ with 1 gig of RAM soon. (TAX TIME wahooo) Anyways I was wondering where I would be of the most help for Team Anandtech. Neither of my computers get used more than 3 - 4 hours a day but are always online so what the heck - might as well put them to work. Let me know what you all think and what I need to do to get started.

BOINC ... lots of choices and you can switch projects with ease as they all share the same platform ... BOINC.

I like SETI, SIMAP, Rosetta ... but make your own choices ...

Welcome aboard

I have put BOINC on hold for a little while here while I do some seventeenorbust.

Throw on Dimes as well...minimal impact on your other projects, since it's network based and throttles itself.
