Try out the client version of SETI@Home for the fastest results under Windows. An Alpha should return results faster than 12 hours. As for andym00 speedy computer... possibly a 4Ghz P4 at best guess.

I think you mean, commandline.

Thanks for the tip. I shall have a tinker with it to try to speed it up.

And Mmm. 4ghz p4. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Yeah, I did.

Good luck. My set-up is:-

SetiQueue 3.03.2.2b - to cache workunits for about 3 days worth. Not really needed if you have a permanent connection but it helps when Berkley's server goes down from time to time.
SetiDriver 1.6.4.3 - to interface with SETI@home software. Automatically runs SETI@home command line version so you don't have to manually run it. Also can run more than one instance of SETI@home for those with multi processor machines.
SetiSpy 3.3.3 - to give info about the current workunit, user stats and team stats.

Could also be an Athlon XP Barton. SetiSpy can calculate an estimation of the time taken for an average workunit through a built in calculator or you can use this online one.

It's a 3.2 P4 overclocked to 3.6..
ooonly snag is it blue-screened on me after running for about 14 hours.. hmmm, not happy about that..

Yeah, that was the first ghing I picked, looking at the various SETI pages that came up on google everyone was suggesting ways to speed the graphical client up, or simply run the command line version..

3.2 @ 3.6, but that first block came back with me running only one instance of SETI, once I ran 2 instances to see if the HyperThreading helped much, although it was in theory crunching more blocks, the results weren't half as impressive

Need a larger fan on the CPU, instead of this nice quiet, old mans, 3000RPM ys-tech, then I'll get the beasty happy running SETI flat for days on end..

Not found the cmd-line one yet...where is it?

Seemingly looked all over their site and can't find it

Maybe if I keep my dad's new box running all the time I can catch up a bit...not got my mainbox here atm
