Well, I've been inactive on the SETI@Home front for quite a while now, but I figured what the hey. I just quit my former group, and I'm in the middle of reinstalling the client. Since I've got a dual CPU system now, I'm curious to see what kind of results I'll get.
I have been running Seti on a dual 800 machine for the past two weeks .. I found using the commandline version works great. I made two copies, set each to one processor. I augmented this with an app called SetiSPY which provides the essential information (how far along, estimated time remaining, etc..) -- You can also set it up to automatically start when the computer is turned on as a service so it will run in the background (assuming your runnint NT/2000) --> I haven't noticed slowdown when using the computer (it only runs when idle)
