is done, I'll be giving all my spare CPU cycles to GIMPS.

I use GIMPS as a continuous system check. It performs checksums as part of its calculations that confirm the CPU/FPU operations are still correct.

GIMPS gets low priority (5% - 10% CPU) whilst boinc gets a low priority but higher than GIMPS.


You are right, I meant for Seti but yes you can crunch or any other DC
project, in fact here is a web page FULL of them:
http://distributedcomputing.info/projects.html

A good link.

Happy crunchin',
Martin
