What to choose?

[Genix]

I am not really sure which DC project I should choose to participate in? What are your ideas?

If you have a P4 or a high XP+, get down to SoB.

I have a 1600+ XP oc'd to 2200+ speed. Maybe I will do SoB. Do any of these affect my computers performance?

 

[RemyCanad]

I can say I have not noticed any performance problems with SoB. It seems to be very nice with letting other programs have CPU power.

I have installed Sob in computers ranging from a Celery I 650 to a P4 3Ghz, and i haven't notice any overhead to the computer...

If you have dialup, you should probably choose a project that caches WUs, unless you want a bit of a hassle (something I'm willing to put up with, but many don't have the time or patience). Otherwise, I'd like to put in a plug for my personal favorite: Folding@Home. It doesn't affect system performance, so it's a good choice from that perspective. It tends to be more efficient on Athlons, but if you use the "-advmethods" switch when starting the client, it will try to use a special core that works better on the P4, if any WUs are available for that core. Any CPU that is 400MHz or greater can help, but it must be at least at that speed to meet the WU deadlines. Here are some more links for you if you are interested.

SoB works great for me whne set on low priority. I've noticed slow downs though on normal priority. Putting it on low priority doesn't hurt performance though.

The SETI team could certainly use you, no matter what speed you're running at, we need every WU we can get right now.

I just joined SoB. I am user number 3117! I hope I can find a prime hah.

I missed it as well. The DF team could've used another active member. 🙂

I am a little confused (no pun intended) as to what you mean. You are sending me a welcome or I am sending you one?

I meant that I'll look forward to giving you the "official" welcome in the stats thread, which i've just posted 🙂

Ahh ok. Thanks for clearing that up.
