Paul, Orbit now has work for Intel Macs: http://orbit.psi.edu/oah/forum_thread.php?id=87 And I missed it! :) Well, I am attached now, but, no work ... sigh ... Anyway, I am making progress on my goals on projects, 15 projects are at or above goal ... now if I can keep the goal posts from moving! :) Anyway, thanks for the tip! I am looking at 58 projects now though still concentrating on the production and beta projects. Though I have found some alpha projects "stable" with some tinkering (I can't get one sub-project on YoYo to work, but the Muon and evolution seem to work) .... ID: 19535 · Reply Quote

I'd like to try it on my old athlon+win98. Half of my LHC credits come from the old tub which works fine even if the million turn tasks do take 36hrs!! /pg ID: 19541 · Reply Quote

CPU varies quite a lot. My Core2 T5470 1.6GHz has completed some Muon WUs in about 1 hour, but the last WU took just over 20 hours. (The progress bar doesn't track well either, apparently a limitation of the wrapper.) ID: 19543 · Reply Quote

Deadlines are very tight on slow / non-24x7 machines (can't remember the exact length) - my 20 hour WU forced BOINC into EDF almost straight away. On the other hand, BOINC has managed the resource sharing correctly, so I haven't downloaded another WU again since. ID: 19556 · Reply Quote

I got another Muon WU last night, the deadline was 1 week. ID: 19561 · Reply Quote
