Hurrah,

I wish I had that computational power.  Set SETI Driver to 4.  You're
throughput will go up even though the time it takes to process a single WU
will go down.  Don't forget to up your cache size as well.  Also, don't
bother with the Affinity checkbox in your case.

Mike.


Mike,

Thanks for the kind reply.

What do you mean by "Don't forget to up your cache size as well." - the L2
cache is fixed !!! Or do you mean the cache of WU's to be processed?


I have a second PC, (dual P3/800MHz) - do I tick the box for "set affinity"
or leave it blank?
What does "set affinity" do?

rgds,

H.
