Is there any project that needs more power right now than another? I'm pretty flexible. I was planning on using PrimeGrid for the first month or so and going from there. |

Nothing ridicously powerful, but I've got a lappy with a core 2 duo T7100 and 2.5GBs RAM coming online for BOINC next week (provided the thing doesn't overheat a la current Pentium M to the 80's C.)

It's possible. I have four healthy models running right now. I've only lost one of the last 5 (knock on wood). |

Well 1GHz (okay, 997MHz) with BOINC going full-out seems like the best compromise. CPU temps of 60-63, everthing else nice and steady. Working from a meidian of about 15:00 per PrimeGrid WU at 1.4Ghz, ... |

Yeah, but CPDN models take close to 3000 hours to run. They don't have to contact the server every day, every week or even every month. Yes, it sends trickle-up messages and gives intermittent credi ... |

The underclock is just taking advantage of the Pentium M's dynamic processing, which is controlled by voltage fluctuations. The Pentium M in its default settings already moves from 600-1400 in 200Mhz ... |
