Got any SETI @ Home Screensaver users out there? I've been loaning my spare computer time to it for over 4.5 years!

I've created a New group called 350Z. If you want to compile our SETI statistics together into this group, please visit and click the Join link near the top:

If you have forgotten your SETI password, there is a link on this page that will email it to you.

Here’s to finding ET!

I joined the group.. I just started using it recently so don't have many units completed.

 

I just joined too. I haven't been running it for a whilie, but I will start again.

 

I've had it runnign on my old computer for nearly 5 years now, but i recently got my new homebuilt one runnign stable and have not had the chance to install it yet.

I thought i was the only dork still doing it!

 

I used to run SETI, but switched to United Devices (www.ud.com), they use a similar system (distributed computing), but they use it to help find cures for things, like Cancer, Smallpox, etc.

Just a thought if you're running more than one PC ... share the computing power

I've been running for a few years now.... I think I have 2400 units.

 

bump to top to see if we can get anymore ET searchers

 

I prefer to use United Devices, which uses the same concept but instead searches for cures for cancer and alzheimer's disease.

I used to do this alot...

Ive stopped...

I should put it on my Dual 1.42Ghz G4 with 2GB ram...

infact im going to do that now... and join the group...

 

I tried installing SETI@home on my new rig, but it freezes the cpu because it takes up too many cycles on an overclocked rig...and plus, 100% on both logic trains for extended time is never good.

 

I said that already :P

 

I joined up.

 

I joined the 350 group with my Dual 1.42Ghz G4 w/ 2GB ram...

Its doing its first work unit now...

my past computers have done...

My Dual 500Mhz G4 w/ 1.5GB ram did...
237 units in 4094 hr 26 min 17 hr 16 min 34.1 sec

 

That's some serious CPU power you got there Konverter! You could run two sessions at the same time with those Dual CPUs, or run one in the background constantly and it would probably be difficult to tell (slowness wise) since the other CPU could handle all your O/S and application needs. Running SETI in the foreground on a single cpu machine can bog it down at times, I use it in screen saver mode only. Used to run it on spare servers at work, but we have consolidated onto a lot less servers so am unable to do that anymore...now it's just my work and home PC running it.

 

rite now i have my Dual 1.42 running the screen saver mode... i finished the first unit in... 5 hours and 22 minutes...

i use this computer in the studio for making my music etc...

Now i wanna see some G5 times!

 

added that would give the group about 570 more work units

 

United Device creates weird problems on my computer.
if I installed the program it takes me 10 minutes to shut down the PC

 

if i add one of my other acounts to the 350 group it will add another 1500 units...

but its owner of my own other group with all my friends.. and it would close the group.. i think you can only be in one group

 

I think so one account for one group

 

yeah no fare at all...

i have a seti acount for each of my computers...

im such a dork...

once me and my old roomate in college (in like 99) took our MAC's (g3's) and networked them together and got it so it split a seti work pack across both computers... only cut an hour off our time... a 233G3 does a seti unit in like 22 hours.. so it wasnt worth it.. but was fun to do!

for a while we had 5 computers running seti in our apartment...

the music syntehsis lab at my college (berklee college of music) had every computer running seti... was funny walking by the labs after everything was closed and seeing 20 computers runing seti! haha..
