I hope it is an accident but The Postman is not showing up on the team.

It was not an accident but I didn't do it either. Somebody got access to my account through the work computers and trashed my account. I am allowed to use them so long as I leave full access in case Seti interferes with their normal operation. My general preferences are now messed up and I don't remember what they should be. I have also been banned from the Seti/boinc boards for a post I didn't even make. For the short term I have been allowed to password protect my accounts but I may wind up losing 3 of my faster machines over this.

Well it would appear that I have lost at least one 1.7 P4 so far over this.

Losing a machine is never good. I remember back in SetiClassic when we figured out a network upgrade hosed PCs running my setistealth program (which I had full permission to run; as long as it didn't interfere with PC performance). I lost about 50 PCs running Seti.

More on the losing a Machine bit. I've just lost the use of the Athlon 64. The PC is in a location where high speed is off when not being actively used. Thus, BOINC has a spazz about trying to connect to server every couple minutes per WU waiting for upload.

So, unless there is a different BOINCManager that can be forcibly set to only connect when there is an active connection - and not bug the user about needing one; this PC cant run seti.

Anyone have any experience running Boinc in a Virtual machine?

Congratulations to Raven for hitting 2 million!!

Thanks Postman... I just noticed today myself.

Well it will only take me 3 more years at my current rate to hit 3 million :-)

Don't worry I hope to "kick in some more power" soon.

As soon as SETI will take it my (malfunctioning and underclocked) Dual Athlon XP 2100+ machine will be uploading its last WUs. R.I.P. So my RAC will be changing soon.

so shall mine... in about 5 days my new computer will be based upon the Q6600 kentsfield

Tus-XC · « **Reply #449 on:** March 16, 2007, 12:26:11 am »

New computer is online and running

WHOOOOOOT... now to see how fast it works

Darth Sidious · « **Reply #450 on:** March 16, 2007, 12:27:13 pm »

Post the full specs here

(i'd look at Seti directly; but i think it's blocked due to one of my predecessors here@work putting SetiClassic on the standard image without permission)

Darth Sidious · « **Reply #451 on:** March 16, 2007, 06:24:08 pm »

Just checked the stats for Tus's new pc.

That machine alone will probably out-produce my entire stable of PCs.

Tus-XC · « **Reply #452 on:** March 16, 2007, 07:46:02 pm »

Q6600, Core 2 Quad (2.4 ghz)
EVGA 122-CK-NF68-AR LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i
2 Gigs of memory
2 x Geforce 8800 GTS
1 Xi-fi Sound card

Think thats all the relevant info

I've just d/l-ed boinc on both my machines. an HP 725n 2.0 GHz Athlon 2400+ processor and a Mac Mini 1.67 GHz Intel Core Duo

Nemesis · « **Reply #455 on:** March 25, 2007, 07:10:09 am »

Welcome aboard. The more the merrier.

Commander Maxillius · « **Reply #456 on:** March 26, 2007, 12:05:40 am »

How exactly do they award credits? I've had my machines working on this for the grand total of 36 hours and I'm up to 342.41 credits. I don't know if it's fast or anything like that.

Commander Maxillius · « **Reply #457 on:** March 26, 2007, 12:27:36 am »

I've also got a question. How hot should my processors be? MY HP is running between 158F and 162F and the Mac is doing the same, 158F to 165F.

Is that normal for maximum processor usage?

Darth Sidious · « **Reply #458 on:** March 26, 2007, 11:05:52 am »

Those are on the high end of normal... i think.

Make sure both machines have adequate airflow

Quick version:

Step 1/ You and several others download WU
Step 2/ The first ones back that agree with one another set the awarded credit
Step 3/ All those who return the correct answer get the same crediit
Step 4/ Credit is based on the amount of work your computer needs to do to get the answer.
Step 5/ You may have a cache for up to 10 days and that will cause you to have WUs completed and retiurned for which you have yet to recieve credit
