Great idea. As soon as this computer's wiped in a week or two, I'll be doing that for sure!

Is there any way to cap how much of your CPU's idle processing power it uses? My PC has started doing thing where it doesn't quite freeze, but it stops accepting input for a while. I had to do a hard reset once or twice. Or maybe it just means that it's getting to be reformatting time again.

I'll have to take a look. I believe you can adjust the throttle, but chances are it's just XP reformat time.

Anyway, 58 hours 7 minutes on the current task. I'm gonna pass Dan as soon as this fucker finishes!

You wish! I am about to complete one that will be at ~14 hours. It will be a damn good amount of points!

Also I am going to start running this on a quad p3 xeon server I have that runs unix :P It should shred through these easily!

Chris, which WCG client do you use? BOINC or UD? I was reading on the forums that BOINC was alot better and you will get more points with it. Also have you tried running more than one client at the same time? Back with I used to be on the Folding@HOME team for the Extreme Overclocking Forums.
