1) Questions and Answers : Windows : huge WU (Message 1629) Posted 25 Aug 2004 by old_user1068 Post: I\'ve just joined this project, and the first unit I\'ve got is HUGE!!! Estimated time to finish it is about 650 hours... It\'s almost a month. Is it ok? SETI sends smaller units... ps. it\'s working on Athlon 3200+

In this case I'm staying now with climate prediction, and waiting for SETI to change the client. They don't have any work units available for now anyway... :)
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : why core version 4? (Message 1625) Posted 25 Aug 2004 by old_user1068 Post: difference between this project and SETI does not allow to participate in both projects. I am participating SETI for a longer time, and they often have no work units available. In this time, I could do your project, but unfortunately you use the different core versin. My suggestion is to talk to guys from SETI, and maybe they will start using 4th version? Or version 3 will be good for you too?
