Maybe someone will invent a special card that is just for SETI. 

Not sure if Seti will run on it, but... a supercomputer on
your desk...

My GPU is so much faster than the CPU that I don't see the 
point in using the CPU for SETI.

To do even more work? I suppose if your GPU is so far advanced

Now that I have all three running concurrently, I would say the 
CPU's and the GPU are roughly even. The CPU's are faster than I 
realized. When I first started running Seti 10 years ago in June, 
it was on a Cyrex 50. Not exactly a 486, but close. In 1996 I 
upgraded from my 386 to help run Doom better.
