I've just added a laptop to the stable of three. I wonder how it will affect RAC - despite getting a flurry of those rubbish WU's that generate -9 overflow errors. What a pain they are.

Had to ditch FC5.  Couldnt get samba shares working the way I wanted to; so 2003'd it, but still running BONIC

Also added my personal DC laptop to the mix; and willl be adding an old W2k 800mhz duron; and possibly another mid-power laptop.

Hmmmm If I do run a D2 server at some point that'll mean I'll have to take my best cruncher offline for it.

Does anyone know or has anyone tried running a d2 server with the boinc app? Will it suspend activity when a player logs on for example? Or does it just scan for usage at keyboard/mouse level?

Same one I used for S@H1.  Phillip *****.

Probably wont be able to get that 2nd laptop into BOINC.  GF's laptop used heavily for graphic programs.  That and she doesnt want me putting junk on her laptop... until something breaks.

Yeah I know that feeling. I can see me losing 2 crunchers shortly...the laptop is sporadically running S@H anyway and will probably be kidnapped. Grrr.

Heh, I wonder if I can sell the idea to my mother and remotely install...hmmm

I must say; my DualCore laptop does quite well despite my using it frequently.

The servers are giving out 403 errors(can't upload finished WU's). I would expect that issue to be resolved sometime tomorrow. :)

I got home today and one of my UPS was sounding.  That computer is functioning "erratically".  I won't have the time to do anything about it until the weekend.  So expect my output to decline at least for a few days.

Unfortunately it was not the UPS.  It still might be the powersupply.  I may have a PSU that I can substitute this weekend.  If not then it may require a full rebuild and will be offline for a while.

I underclocked (about 25%) the downed machine and it is working stably now.  I'll see if there is some way to stabilize it at full speed on the weekend.

I've been thinking of rebuilding one of my machines along those lines myself.  I may do so as a Christmas present to myself.  Let us know how it works out.

What motherboard, video etc are you going to use?

D946GZIS 946GZ motherboard, onboard video (not going to use it as a gaming machine) - but PCI-Express16 capable.  Will probably pick up a video card if Legacy runs poorly on my laptop (Core2duo 1.83, 1gb ram)

Unless I am misunderstanding what I am seeing, Ken is giving up control of the team. Does somebody want to step forward and run this team?

That is the way it looks.  How much "running" does it actually take?  Think we can con persuade Raven to do it?

I also nominate Raven to run the team.

Additionally, my new PC is up and running; and crunching SetiBoinc.

Maybe somebody should invite him to come over, we might be waiting a while otherwise. He hasn't been around here in quite a while..
