Hehehehe. We try. What really gets me is that I can get 4%-5% an hr for like 2 hrs and than it drops to about 2.6% for the rest of the times. Given what we''ve see <on this discussion anyways>....64-128 seems the best amount of ram to have to run Seti. Anything more than that and it seems to hurts the times. Maybe Seti doesn't like having the extra ram? Also given what I've heard from others...Windows geekedME doesn't do as well w/ more than 128 megs of ram. I have some time as well and I'll also experiment. My ram is in 2 x 64 meg sticks and 1 x 128 meg stick. Im running Win 98 se... so we'll see what we see :-)
