Oh Zarg, you poor deluded soul. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/biggrin.gif) The #'s don't lie man. I was kicking your tail when I kept SETI running nearly 24 hours a day. The only time I shut it down was for Half-Life. I was constantly on ICQ, AIM, Napster, surfing the net, or actually doing hw as well, and even with shutting down during your "processor-intensive" http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/biggrin.gif) activities you couldn't match my average time. Give it up! And woe the day I return. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/mad.gif)

So Ace you talking smack about WU averages? You want to compare Athlon to Intel? do you want to get you behind handed to ya? Are you man enough to take the fact that my Intel will whoop your tail?

Enough with the intro, how does this grab ya, my lil ol 700 that's running at 933mhz is cranking out units in 3 hours 45 minutes. Yesterday it did one in 3:20. Is that fast enough for ya? http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/biggrin.gif)

Zarg, get a 700 and some Mushkin 133 RAM and then crank up your FSB. Your right about the price, it will be close to $500.

Awwww, Gunner, why you gotta be in this? http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/wink.gif) I haven't been comparing Athlon Intel or anything like that. The only thing I keep saying is that from the moment I started SETI I have had the leading average on our team. Now I know you have a better system than me, but your average is brought down by other computers. I think IKE & Chewie maybe are the same way. But most everyone else I am smoking all by myself with my one system. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/cool.gif)

I wouldn't challenge you G-dog, I know your top of the line comp can take mine in a fight. You da man, as they say. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/eek.gif) And yeah, that's a helluv fast unit you're cranking out over there. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/cool.gif)

Remember chaps. You've only got until 11th Nov to change over to version 3 of the client. After thatit won't matter how many you process the SETI guys won't accept the results.

I lost some valuable time yesterday. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/frown.gif) I fired up the ol' Half-Life with 35 minutes left on a SETI WU and when I got done an hour and a half later with my gaming, SETI now had 45 minutes left on the same WU. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/biggrin.gif)

Then the wifes PC dumped to the Blue screen of death at about Noon , and I didn't see it till almost 10:30pm so everything was down.

I can usually make some good time on Tues. and Wed. as the wife goes into work these days and I can get some great SETI time in but this week the wife stayed home on Tue. and today the BS of D killed me so I lost a butt load of time. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/frown.gif)

Hi guys.

I suspect its to do with the 'upgrade' to the servers at the host. I can't really complain too much as its such good value but anytime they change anything something seems to go TU.

sorry I have been gone. We had an A.O.G. (Airplane On Ground) part to cut. It seem a JAL plane ran into something and took out the outboard end of there 747 wing so we had to make some replacement parts but we are having some problems. Oh well...

Tagt, you have done over 84 units big guy, way to go, fondas has crested 400 and Ike is in Cali. Wahoo...

As the forums are down. They are supposed to be back tomorrow. I'll give you the potted version of the rsults. TAGT top cruncher with 84 for the week. Ike still on top. Fondas and Kyp both have gone over 400. Kyp has taken 5th place back. Nute is big mover for the week up 2 to 10. TR2K is also up one. R9 has done his first unit.

Sounds like someone at JAl needs to practice their reverse parking. http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/wink.gif)
