All I feel I am doing is cleaning up the other dead end space, I think the issue at the core here is that i can not beleive since 2000 crunching away 24/7 5 pc units dead that i have inches only to 1.6 mill credits and I see people with similar/if not the same pc power to me, and in less time with greater credits than I, which has caused me to try and find out why my PC is performing so poorly and so slowly.

I'm still struggling to understand this. So you're saying that as long as you are able to keep up in RAC with people of what you feel are similar configurations as your computer, that this makes you happy? Are you saying you're unable to find happiness in simply contributing?

I say that as someone who knows his computers are not matching the performance of similar configurations as my own. I could achieve so much more RAC if I were to choose AP only, but I feel that puts credits ahead of science. Isn't that a great disservice to the project you're contributing to?

Now I know, its not my PC but what I select to crunch. Which is a great relief to me as I do not need to go and purchase another PC of greater power to crunch as it is all done to the selecting of "higher paying" wu.

You should only buy a newer computer based upon need, and let SETI or whatever project have the spare power you don't use. And you should crunch whatever type workunits the projects give if you believe in the project's goals.

Hello I am runing Seti@home on my computer and I would like to volunteer
to receive more Astropule signals.
If this is possible how my help you?
please gige him the message scientists and astronauts

Hi Marilia, you've asked that question in three different threads now. I answered you myself in one of them. Why do you not return to the threads you post in to find your answer?

hi Marilia
I used this method from BilBg and now have AP wu's.
Im a lot happier hope it works for you.

I think your GPU (ATI Radeon HD 4350/4550 (R710)) is not capable to run SETI@home v7 tasks (I think it have 'Max work group size: 128' and 256 is needed)

But (as already explained) it's easy to fill your computer with 100 GPU OpenCL AstroPulse tasks with just right Preferences.
AstroPulse tasks are available 1-2 days per ~week, 100 GPU OpenCL AstroPulse tasks are enough for my GPU to have work for 5-7 days.
(I do AstroPulse only on GPU (AMD ATI Radeon HD 6570), on CPU - only SETI@home v7

)

Notes:
All users that know how to do it invested time to learn how to do it.
This is not cheat.
This have nothing to do with "multi PC" users (work of one PC do not affect in any way the other PCs of the same user, e.g. no more or less tasks sent to 1 PC just because it belongs to a "multi PC" user)
Low Credit of SETI@home v7 tasks is because of bad implementation of 'CreditNew'


My Settings:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project

SETI@home Enhanced: no
SETI@home v7: no
AstroPulse v6: yes
If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? yes


http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=global

Maintain enough tasks to keep busy for at least 7 days
... and up to an additional 0.01 days


Note also:
At the moment many stock ('normal') users may be hit by this problem:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=73586

I am not affected because any of these:
- I run older BOINC
- I run optimized applications (= not-stock) using app_info.xml with <plan_class>ati_opencl_100</plan_class>
