Thank you sir.

Been reading through the forums and didn't realise how competitive all this boinc'ing was lol

Must try harder...

Morning Pactor, welcome to the team.

We're not all competitive, some people just take it very seriously, others just go with the flow

It doesn`t need to be so competitive. The main thing is to enjoy yourself.

If you need any help, just ask. :D

Welcome to the best team in the UK. May your stay be along one.

Need any help ? Then just ask there is always someone around to give advice.

Fancy a chat with fellow team members ?

The chat room at the top of the main forum page has the decorators in (been needed for some time).

So we have moved to MSN for a while.

Contact MELTER65 (Dave) through a PM as he is the key holder.

New comers must get the first round of drinks in, so get in early will be cheaper for you.....lol

Hi hi all, thanks for replies.

Don't think I need any help at the moment, but, having said that I may have missed something.

I am using the only pc I have, I just followed most of the set up tips, so I am pretty sure I have all 4 cores working and my gpu.

Does everyone just have the screen saver thing start it all up when the pc has been idle for however minutes? That is what I am doing at the moment anyway.

Personally, I just run BOINC Manager on default settings.
I`ve never had any problems with it.

As I hear a lot at work, "if it is working, LEAVE IT ALONE!"

Or for the more adventurous (who could be considered reckless)... "if it ain't broke, make it go faster" (tribute to NA Ryan for that one) :lol:

Welcome to the team Pactor :D The GPU defiantly helps if it is attached to a project that is compatible with it.

Some GPU projects are:
* Collatz Conjure (ATI + Nvidia)
* Milkyway (ATI + Nvidia) - But double precision capable cards only :[
* SETI (Nvidia)
* GPUGrid (Nvidia) - GTX260 or higher needed i think
* DNETC (Ati + Nvidia)

At this current moment in time it seems the ATI cards 'tend' to run faster on the ATI enabled projects (although this could change).

Hope this is of help :)
