well you are now it would have helped if you had posted your crunching name because i got the impression or thought you were under the name will which i couldnt find anyways now i know.
So are you gpu assisted?

When you posted "Will - will1b" i went a hunting for will no matter but hey i asked if you ever have a question or problem instead of taking a back seat and wondering whats happenning just post in the thread or send a trust message
not sure about ati cards but think you should be getting more from it output wise, there are others here that will know more than i but i would investigate Look forward to being able to post your tiffy achievement too ..... dont forget if your about to pass someone give em the old parp !!
ahhhhh your gaming .... shame on you sah i hope we dont loose you to battlefield 3/wow or the like we cant afford to loose one wu 
It's not that I play tons of games - most of the time I'm playing flash games, browsing or idle - it's just that I'm really forgetful with turning BOINC back on.

I find it very easy to tell when BOINC isn't running because the room goes rather quiet 
I agree with TTB that your RAC should be much higher than 950. I don't know how well ATI cards perform in SETI but I would expect at least 10,000 a day. Are you running the lunatics optimised apps? It would be worth a check in your BOINC messages tab when you first load up to check there aren't any errors.

You can have BOINC suspend all computation when a certain executable is running. Simply create a file called cc_config.xml in the BOINC data directory and add the following into it (replacing Executable Name with the relevant .exe):
Then go into BOINC manager and click Advanced > Read config file.
Once you stop the game BOINC will restart
Code:
<cc_config>
<log_flags>
</log_flags>
<options>
<exclusive_app>[B][Executable Name][/B]</exclusive_app>
<exclusive_gpu_app>[B][Executable Name][/B]</exclusive_gpu_app>
</options>
</cc_config>Then go into BOINC manager and click Advanced > Read config file.

10k? Whaaaaa...
I am running optimised, but I seriously didn't expect anything that high. I'm a couple hours a day, not at night person though, so I don't really think I WILL get that high
EDIT: Thanks TheTross, I'll write that into there in a minute. Might take a while for 100 steam games though (I'll probably just add it in when I actually get round to playing that game)
Also, what about more than 1 exe?
EDIT 2: Uncle Google helped me out, never mind. There's a tool built into computing preferences xD

For more than one exe you just need to add more <exclusive_app> lines, like so:
Code:
<exclusive_app>[Executable Name1]</exclusive_app>
<exclusive_app>[Executable Name2]</exclusive_app>
<exclusive_gpu_app>[Executable Name1]</exclusive_gpu_app>
<exclusive_gpu_app>[Executable Name2]</exclusive_gpu_app>Thanks. Your simple single smiley on my steam games made me laugh
EDIT: Also, you don't need the "exclusive_GPU_app" unless it's not CPU intensive but GPU intensive. The 0.05 of a CPU core that it uses is enough to stop it running

Steam.exe is open all the time :/ I use it for communication.
I'll just add the games as I play them. So far I have the few I play most already on there
Also, I thought it was 100... no, it's just 75

You could keep it simple and add steam.exe, just make sure you close steam down when you're done
I took a wild guess at 10k but that would be running almost 24/7 bar some game time
Noooooooo Dave
( your not supposed to give him the impression that gaming is ok , were supposed to slowly and subtly steer him away from such wastefull past times) 
But gaming means that you need an all powerful system which is nothing but goodness for the team
Errrrr.... yup absolutely whatever you do dont catch the "forgetting to switch boinc back on" bug when ya finished your battlefield 3 sah
Actually i dont have any room to talk someone introduced me to world of warcraft and am quite enjoying it
I leave BOINC running while I'm playing games, the frame rate is a bit rubbish but I wouldn't want to impact on my SETI output. I have my priorities right. SETI comes first, then feeding the kids, then playing computer games......... and then the missus
I might add that I'm having a very boring evening installing XP onto my second rig thanks to some wise idea by a certain loud bob. I had forgotten how rubbish it is

Crack open a beer. That'll improve matters no end
On a side, how much better is XP compared to W7 for crunching? Am toying with the idea of bringing myself out of my luddite days by buying W7 but it might prove to be false economy if SETI et al aren't particularly suited to it.
