&gt; Wow, this is something.
&gt; BOINC platform will have another bunch of computers starving for WUs.
&gt; Classic SETI already had gained immortal reputation among DC projects.
&gt;
&gt; Good luck with transition, classic SETI.
&gt;

I fail to see the need for this post. Please indicate the name and number of starving computers...

With 5 BOINC projects online, well almost and at least 1 other that is in Beta, we will never starve....

If you have concerns about the 100% performance of your system's memory, you can download and run memtest86. You may want to run a thorough test over night and check in the morning.

For best performance please update your video drivers from the manufacturers web site.

When you install Windows Service Pack 2, a large number of the chipset specific motherboard drivers are overwritten with Microsoft's own generic (non chipset specific) drivers. you should go to the site for your chipset and reinstall those drivers.

If you have a motherboard with an Intel chipset, and don't know which one, you can go here first and download the chipset identification utility:

Once you have identified it, or if you already know which one is in your computer, you can go here to download the proper INF utility.
