Yep, me.

I also can't believe I've only just read this thread.

Edit : My Stats
Hey! That hardly seems right. I've been fighting for ages to get into the top fifteen and you bump me out without even half trying. Grrr.

Welcome to the team. I guess.

Sorry mate, I did sit there for a while thinking of wether to join or not, was worried I'd put peoples noses out of joint. But in the end I thought, well it's for the good of the team and I can always leave if it's a problem. But knowing people on here I thought, neigh, they be ok. ;-)

Thanks for the welcome.

oh, and my stats aren't with out trying. It's my 6 year SETI anniversary comming up in August and I used to have it runnning on a load of PC's (and a couple of servers (naughty me ;-)) at work when I had the opertunity to be sneaky about it it. Now it's much harder to get away with so my machines are limited and even though my stats are fairly high they've slowed down a lot :-(

Getting back into it agiain a bit know though as I've just got a nice new AMD64 at home!!

As my own little piece of "wh0re du self", I 0wnz0r (no doubt albeit fleetingly...) the most dedicated CPU time on the table...

No doubt soon to be usurped by ICEBABY :D

Mmmm. AMD64.

How do you like it so far?
What's your OS?

My OS is XP Home with SP2 (beta) but it's getting rebuilt this week and I'll think I'll stick with SP1a until SP2 gets it's final release. Tried it out knowing that the PC is getting wiped, seems ok but going to wait for its release.

I've bookmarked the XP 64bit page but haven't had chance to read up on it yet.

So far? I'm liking it a lot. My first proper PC that's actualy mine and in releation to the market at the time probably the highest spec i've worked on. Only really used PCs at work before.

But I'm regularly browsing the net, burning CD's to MP3s onto an external drive in under 10mins , listening to MP3s off the same HD and running SETI (using SETI Driver with the 'idle' setting) with out any problems or bad system response.

Spec=

AMD64 3000+
512mb mem
ATI Radeon AIW Pro 128mb

Thinking of sticking in another 512mb at some stage.

The more you seek the answer, the further from the way.

Fallen back to 10th now.

Now all I have to do is sneak the screensaver onto the 500 PCs at work and I'm sorted. :D

Woo yay! I now have a pc capable of returning a Seti unit in under 2 days. In fact, it's hyperthreading goodness should let me turn in quite a few packets. Still, found it a bit of a bitch to set up! Are other hyperthreaded (or dual cpu) folks running Seti Driver and the commandline client? If anyone has a link to a good guide or tutorial then I'd be really greatful - I'm still not convinced I've got everything running smoothly, although my usually quiet p4 cooling fan in my new Dell may beg to differ as its currently spinning away pretty loudly!

Cheers

I was thinking about stealing the house Sparcstation and sticking a couple of extra CPUs in it to boost me up a bit...anyone care to estimate how fast it could crunch through units with 4x 200MHz chips in it? :)
