I just took a performance hit myself.  I've been waiting since May for my parents to leave town so I could swap their ancient 350mhz Pentium II machine for a more modern Athlon XP2400+.  That reduces my output from ~45 to ~37 WU's/day.   Down to 3 machines.   

I was slowly gaining on Dragon, I'm not sure if I still will be with the downgrade.  :(

The friend that I "indefinitely" loaned a computer to a while back has returned it temporarily.  He has been having some troubles with it that I can and will fix (bad or disconnected CPU fan) and won't be able to use it for a while so it goes back on my SETI until he can use it.  It should do 6-7 WUs and restore most of the lost output from giving my mother the XP 2400+. 

I was still gaining on Dragon even with the reduced output, this will increase the rate of closure, not that I expect to catch him before SETI 1 ends.

The increase will likely be next weekend.

Well, I am down for the weekend. A thunderstorm last night took  the access server offline and it won't be fixed until Mon AM. My 4th machine has been taken offline by my neighbor (it is his machine) and my 2 home machines have full BOINC caches.

Ditto for this weekend as well except my BOINC cache is MT on my P4 so I am crunching classic until the switch

I havent really kept up w/ this thread...since a undetermined amount of time.  I just keep crunching WU.  I checked my stat on classic and was much surprised to find me sitting at 19.  I guess numbers shifted on the move to boinc.  Our collective WU total is still respectable though.

I have now passed 10 computer years.   Soon the last certificate 25,000 (I had thought that 10,000 would be the last)

Got a question, what in the world does this mean???


I was never here, you were never here, this conversation never took place, and you most certainly did not see me.

WU disrupted by interference while being recorded.

oh, I was hoping it had found something interesting and had absolutely no question about it, hence the 3-second processing time

Today I moved up to the # 13 spot as I quickly overtake #12. I hope to make it to 10,000 before it ends. After I reach 10,000, I hope to totally move to BOINC with the rest of my machines. I hope the rest of you who still visit here will make the switch when classic ends in a few weeks or months. :)

Yep.  I still watch it.  I keep a window open on our SETI stats at all times.  I am slowly moving up on Dragon.  I doubt that I can catch him before the end but I keep going.

Good going.  Did you save your certificate?
