Optimal Settings

Can anyone tell me or show me how to set the optimal settings for BOINC use. I run a Dell Dimension 8100 with one 20 gb hd and one 100 gb hard drive, 1.2 gbs of ram, 1.4mhz p4, cable connection. Any suggestions?

DUDE! You got a Dell!!!


Ok, the first thing you do is take your computer, pick it up... make you sure you have a firm grip... seek out and find the highest point in your dwelling (well, in your case, maybe you better go find a tree!), and heft that mother as hard and as far as you can...

OPTIMIZED!!!

Yeah, it can take a few days. I'll let muzz know so the newbie doesn't think he's being ignored.

Hi muzz!!

Way to go - I like the banner signature incidentally - great job!!

Genya, I keep trying to joing the ATS SETI team, but I keep getting an error after entering my e-mail and password. Any clues to help? -Muzz

Hi muzz!!

Sorry to hear about your difficulties

First thing, the Index contains some possibly useful information about this eg

How can I join your SETI@home group? -

I've got SETI@home installed -

As you'll realise, SETI@home is now in its final stages, as the transition to BOINC grows ever closer muzz. So, it *might* be an issue that less resources are given to SETI@home at present, which is causing difficulties? (Mere, uninformed speculation on my behalf). However, every time I upload a WU to SETI@home, I notice an attendant increase in the totla number of people running SETI@home - and, indeed, even the ATS SETI@home team has had people joining/ leaving, so perhaps it's "just one of those things"?

I realise how frustrating this is muzz - I couldn't download SETI@home myself for about a year until I "struck lucky" in July 2001, when all of a sudden I was able to do so... When you think about it, servicing nearly 5 million users from SETI@home is no mean achievemnt, so perhaps we have to expect "dificulties" now and again?

Keep trying muzz - and hopefully it will come right?!
