Just received a Dell Inspiron 7000, 333Mhz, 64 MB RAM, WinXP Pro.

Installed

SETI, SETI Spy & SETI Driver.  Noticed after running SETI for a few

minutes,

processor fan came on.  I realize that this is probably normal, as SETI

is

processor intensive, but could I damage this laptop running SETI 24/7?
Anyone have any tips for running SETI on laptop?  Should I RAMDisk?

Thanks

for replies.

I've had the NT client & SETI Driver running on my laptop for over 2
years now - the only thing I've had to be careull about is that the
heat output from the CPU doesn't end up scorching the desktop :)

LOL about scorched desktop, Gary.  Thanks for reply.  I noticed that laptop
got awful warm.  <g>  It's one reason why I was worried about hurting it!
BTW, my processing times on this laptop are around 10-12 hrs per WU.  Ain't
too shabby as my Gateway G6-350 (350MHz, 256 MB RAM, Win98) has about the
same.  When SETI@home finally shuts down, I will go to BOINC.  Thanks again.
