Boinc is designed to use all the extra CPU cycle that your not using so there isn't much to be done there unless you want to get into overclocking your system. Just set Boinc to 'Run always' and don't use the screensaver as it wastes CPU cycles. Boinc runs at the lowest priority and is very good about getting out of the way of most other software. There is a third party Seti application that crunches faster than the official versions by optimizing for CPU specific instruction sets. These require more effort on your part to manually replace the Seti version. It also requires that you keep tab on Seti version updates since Boinc will not be able to do automatic updating when Seti changes its application. Check the the optimization on the Number crunching message board for information on this. Boinc V7.2.42 Win7 i5 3.33G 4GB, GTX470 |

Second http://www.boincstats.com is where I go for graphs. You will need to know your account number, but you can get that from the Your Account section on the Seti homepage, near the bottom. ![]() |
