the big gun battleships may just have to go idle on MW for a while. LOL... I just got my WWI vintage destroyer back in the game myself! Those old coal fired ones just couldn't keep up running Astronomy anymore, so I had to set it up to run just Milkyway. ;-) Alinator |

I find my dual P3 @933 is OK in this game. This is pretty light weight in Naval terms. |

Maybe I should get the Rubber Diggy (333mhz) going. LMAO I agree that the "deferring communications for xx minutes" is a pain though. I catch my machines waiting 1-4 hours regularly. And the occasional 24 hr. Rick |

the big gun battleships may just have to go idle on MW for a while. I've even brought a old Celeron 1.7Ghz back to life which I'd scrapped a while ago, having to find parts I'd stripped out and had to completley rebuild. Amongst others the AMD Athlon 1.0GHz sadly just would not revive :( It doesn't seem that long ago that I decided to cut back on BOINCing to save on electricty, but helping with my team stats and helping to keep my team in the top BOINC 100 is so much fun :) - as well as helping out with the science and research of course ;) |

I do think that new limit of 8 is a bit low - Travis, if you think that 20 is too high, then why not move it down a bit say to 15??? worse case even 10 - Your servers can not handle all the requests for new work as is, and setting the limit too low will only cause more stress on your servers. IMO -20 was too low :) but that is just me. |

Amongst others the AMD Athlon 1.0GHz sadly just would not revive :( 'Bout 10yrs ago there was a group of nutters trying for the most useless SETI rig. My contribution was my ole 486SX 25Mhz, it ran for 8 weeks before it managed a checkpoint. |

The problem wasn't people banging on the servers, but the database being very full, which was making everything the transitioner was doing very slow. Reducing the WU limit cleared the transitioner back log (it was about 2 hours behind) and got things moving again. |

'Bout 10yrs ago there was a group of nutters trying for the most useless SETI rig. That's great, I haven't heard that before. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

Amongst others the AMD Athlon 1.0GHz sadly just would not revive :( Last year Astro over at Seti got his old P1 (60 MHz no SSE or MMX) running on the MultiBeam units using a opt app (someone custom compiled it for his system). It managed to return the unit before the deadline, but only just. Never surrender and never give up. In the darkest hour there is always hope. |

Last year Astro over at Seti got his old P1 (60 MHz no SSE or MMX) running on the MultiBeam units using a opt app (someone custom compiled it for his system). I remember reading bits of that thread. Part of what I missed what that it was a custom app, though. I guess this just goes to show the "Anonymous Application Platform" can be have far-reaching consequences... |
