Time for some low down parping from a returning member...

[Ian Hall]

After taking a break from DC projects since the end of the old S@H I have decided to make a return to the party.

I literally threw BOINC at my pcs during the week, so I have absolultely no idea if I have set them up efficently so shall be fiddling with them going forward to get some better performance.

Anyways

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARP!!!

Welcome back to the team

What kinda rig you gonna be crunching on?

Nothing major at the moment to be honest, an E8400, and an old P4. Shall be investing in a couple of months though

I am just looking at putting BOINC on my HP Proliant server that I bought last week, but I seem to have a mental block when it comes to the BOINC client, so I wonder if I may ask a few questions? (I have trawled the internet/forum but can't seem to get the definate answers I need)

• If I want to run just the Boinc service, do I have to still install the BOINC Manager?
• I have set up up the account preferences to in theory give me 8 days off offline data, but when I look in my task there appears to be only less than a days worth of data. Any suggestions?
• The geek in me used to love have a central server distribution of wu's on my network for the old S&H. Whilst I realise BOINC is a different setup, is there anything that does a similar job/role?
• Optimized clients, are these worth it?

Sorry for the list of questions, but I just want to get up to speed as quickly as possible now.
