and using the few zones (home, work, school) isn't really a solution to this.

There sure seems to be a lot of greedy people here using very large cache


that's also a BOINC-problem. Why can't we just select cache size for every single project and every single computer? There's only a general setting. At least I have only found this one. I've set mine to 2 days, as I have some computers on some projects, that do not have a permanent connection to the net. But having set the cache to 2 days also means, that some other machines are downloading more than they need. Hopefully BOINC-developers are changing this one day.

What's the benefit of setting LHC to no new work?



Well the benefit is, that the logfile isn't filling up with messages like "no work available". It's annoying to read the logfile when there's a message like this each and every hour ;)

does anybody know if there is a newsletter, that is sent automatically once there is new work available? Either from lhc@home or from some team out there? Checking mail is easier for me than returning to the site each day. In periods of no work I usually disable work requests in BOINC and then it happens that I'm too late to get some work ;)

I'm not quite sure if BOINC will run without problems on Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Tried one x64 edition here at work, but not all my 32-bit programs could run on that machine. Haven't tried BOINC, but I suggest you ask someone who did, before you install that windows.

Guess they are afraid that their boss or teacher will find out, that they installed BOINC on computers they were not supposed to install anything on :)

[quote]My current setup:
Is that in a Desktop?
If so how do you like it? I have been thinking about getting a new desktop with a pentium M procesor.


Nope, it's my T42p IBM-Notebook. But I'm thinking about getting one too for a desktop. I like the new AOpen cases, that look like a Mac Mini.
From the performance it's excellent.

my second Intel Pentium 4 2GHz died some time ago, so I have a free slot. Building an Opteron workstation at the moment. DualCore/DualCPU :)

Most boxes are controlled with VNC. No problems so far

I will pass 50K LHC today, but I'm catching up fast :) If the project continues realeasing workunits a few more weeks, I'm hopefully in that club too

I do not really understand this thread. I thought workunits for linux and windows were the same, only different clients of course. Do you say that linux computers don't get as much work units as windows computers? I planned to install the client on my linux-based workstations as well, so I'm a little confused now and wonder if there's any sense in doing so.
