Jabba The Hunt Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Well i've decided to install Seti again and to my surprise found that someone has been doing work units under my name! I'm up to 150 now, well whoever it was thank you Anyway i love my laptop 6.4% in under 10mins . Anyway yeah everyone keep doing Seti!
Nitro Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Hells yeah! I can chew through a packet in less then 2 hours with my new machine. Broke 1000 today!
Nitro Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 And does anyone else remember this? http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/team/team_64027.html edlib, I see you're still crunching away... But it's just a matter of time before I pass you.
Jabba The Hunt Posted March 9, 2004 Author Posted March 9, 2004 Im gonna see where else I can get it installed, im also gonna start folding at home and aids at home, cause well they have a bit more meaning I think , though it really runs my battery on my laptop out, went through a normal 2 hour battery in 1 hour earlier today, luckily i had my plug with me. I can get atleast 3 computers working on this almost all the time, though it kinda distablises my families machine. Hmm if only I could install it across the uni's network
edlib Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Yeah, I still have a couple of machines working for me. 2 of them are Macs, and the others are very old PCs. The Macs from work do the majority of the work, since they are a little faster and are left on 24/ 7. The PCs are both over 3 years old now, a P2 and a P3,.. but are off more than they are on. It wouldn't surprise me if you overtook me by the end of the month. I'm surprised that nobody has yet.
Nute Gunray Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 I conduct my own search for ET's with an 9" reflector and a plastic bullhorn I got at a college basketball game. So far no answers, but that might be because half the stuff I "transmit" isn't exactly peaceful.
Zargon Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 I should put this back on my machines,......athlon 2400 with 768 should crank packets out......
edlib Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Go for it Zarg! I'm curious to see how fast you could catch up with the rest of us. And, at the very least, it might give us all something to talk about again...
Nitro Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Athlon64 3000+ with a gig of DDR400... I get 2 hour crunch times, and that's 3 packets at once at medium priority. It's like hot sex on a cold morning!
Admiral Odin Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 It's been a very long time since I had Seti on my old computer.

And, at the very least, it might give us all something to talk about again... something we obviously need! mid summer I hope to get a athlon 2500+ with a gig of ram to replace my old p3 600...........unless something better is only 200ish for me to upgrade too and if my car doesn't steal the money first!
edlib Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Egads... Nitro's hot on my tail,.. and I can't shake him! But: I'm getting enough money back on my tax return to get a new computer this year (this one is quickly approaching 4.) Then I'll be able to offer some real resistance. Now I just have to decide: Make it myself, or buy pre-built (like an Alienware.) I'm leaning towards DYI... I want 64-bit AMD, with ATI video and M-Audio sound, DVD burning, and a big ol' RAID 0 hard drive configuration. Time to start pricing...
Nitro Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Don't rush to get that system... I'll have your #3 spot in a couple of weeks.
Ray Jones Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 i really think of getting started. not that i would have the slightest chance of of winning your "race" but i feel like i have to do this for all mankind.. nitro.. hehe "listen.. you smell something?" that just gave me some cooool kind of flashback.. ok, that and mary. also, you've just reminded me of another game i had for my atari 800xe. ghostbusters!! hmm.. my emulator is working.. i think this game would fit good into my collection-o-rays-memorabilia.
edlib Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Bastard. Don't worry... it will be a few weeks before the refund checks get here... and I'm not really planning on doing anything about a new PC 'till mid-summer at the earliest. There's some new technologies I'm waiting on so I don't feel that I have to upgrade immediately after buliding the damn thing... like last time. You'll be the king for a while.
Ray Jones Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 how fast can your 3000 crunch one packet? i mean if you set priority at high and leave it alone?
Nitro Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 At high it takes around an hour and 15-20 minutes, but I usually run it at medium when I'm at work, low when I'm home, and it gets turned off completely when I'm gaming.
Ray Jones Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 nice. really, "edlib, there's no chance for you", nice. the fastest i got was 4.06, average is 5.00-6.00 at normal priority and with me doing the things i do on my computer. 7 hours at low. running it at normal and above also needs much extra power, my notebook batteries only last for one hour instead of four.
edlib Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 ... Long Live the King!!! A wee bit premature,.. but not by much. Oh well... How long will it take before you top Ike at this rate?? Mid-summer is my guess...
Nitro Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 Quote Originally posted by edlib Mid-summer is my guess... I really should get my old box crunching too... Takes that old beast about 8-12 hours a packet, but it's better then nothing.
Jabba The Hunt Posted April 11, 2004 Author Posted April 11, 2004 lol, who was it who ended up installing about 200 clients on a network? That must have got through some units quickly
