Seti@home was my first distributed experience, and I learned a lot. I've done 2,500 WUs, and dedicated 9561 hours 27 minutes and 16 seconds in two years and three months (approximately). Unfortunately, I've been trying so hard to get my numbers up/down that I have not used my computer for the things for which it was originally intended. I don't use FS2004 or other games because they ruin the performance of Seti. I've been trying to get my average time per WU down closer to what it is running at now (2 hours 38 minutes to around 3 hours 18 minutes). I've had three different processors and two different MoBos since starting Seti. The Duron 1.0 ran it in 5 or 6 hours. The Athlon 1.4 ran a work unit in 4.5 to 5 hours. The Barton running at 2.1GHz runs it in 2.5 to 3.25. I've also strained to get my average WUs per day to better than 3.0.

Folding Proteins doesn't give me those kinds of stats so I can't obsess.

Here are my stats.
