Hm, all ASUS SocketA Boards revert to "safe mode" (100MHz FSB) when plugging in a
different CPU.

Normally, they should enter the Bios with the CPU Option highlighted right at the first
start then.

Just recheck that the FSB is set to 133MHz, otherwise you end up running your AthlonXP
2200+ (1800MHz) at only 1350MHz.

Oh forgot :

Since you did a Bios update :
Re-check if all the Performance options are set where they belong.

Otherwise, you might end up running in "Normal Performance" (vs. "Optimal"), and slow RAM
Timings.

Toni,

I had times as short as a few seconds on my K6-2 450 MHz.

Running anything that requires full time 100% processor is a genuinely

Having said that, I did manage to kill the hard drive

says more about the quality of the computer than the
ability to run S@H, IMO.

Let>s begin at the beginning. You can run setiathome with freebsd and a
minumum install. I am trying to figure out how to do that very thing.
I have 8 PPro running FreeBSD with distributed.net as of now and they
all have 2 gig hard drives. What I did was do a minimum install,
install the sources and ports. Recompiled the kernel, you will have to
add option COMPAT_AOUT to run setiathome, the go to the ports tree and
make install in the setiathome directory of the astro port section. If
you have any more questions, maybe we can figure it out.

I had a similar problem with my Soyo K7VEM-PRO motherboard and Athlon 1700 -
took 5.5 to 6.5 hours per wu and increased unless I rebooted. Spent $50 on
a decent video card and turned off the on-board video. Sped up the wu
processing by an hour - now most process in 4.5 hours.

I have a win98se system using
SETI drive 1.5.0.0 and cmd line setiathom303.
1 GHZ 512 MB

My problem is that that the wu times are increasing.
Starts at about 6 h / wu after boot and then increasing about
1 h / day.
So after a couple of days it is over 10 h / wu.
All other background tasks are killed( checked by dllview ).

any sugestions ??

Do you have one of those "all-in-1" motherboards?

I bought one for my yougest daughter>s PC - a PCCHIPS M810 (SiS mobo
chipset).

It has sound, video (shared ram) and ethernet all on the system
board...and
it does exactly what you describe. A WU that take 11 hours on day one
will
17 hours a week later.

Only way to keep it fast is re-boot it every day.

My other 9 systems don>t do that....and they aren>t PCCHIPS and they
aren>t
"all-in-1" with an SiS chipset.

(I mainly run LInux and those shared-ram video arrangements create more
problems than the yare worth.)

No, Andy, it>s not nonsense. I repair these things as a sideline and
have seen about a dozen notebooks fucked-up with dirt from running
24/7 100% processor. Most of them were running seti, but a couple
were doing that prime-number thing, and one guy had no clue why his
processor was running at 100% utilization. Fortunately none of these
folks lost a processor because they automatically powered down, but
they were filthy inside, fans had failed, and it cost them a hundred
bucks to have them repaired.

By all means, however, keep yours running.

Hi,

It runs best always in background with the sceen saver turned off.

As long as you do NOT use graphics, they are almost the same speed. The
text/command line version is inherently faster, but so long as you set the
GUI client to be blank, or not to be the screen saver at all, it can run
just a fast.

Samuel,

In the days when a fast PC could do a WU in about 24 hours, the CLI client
was 15% faster the the best the GUI could do (CLI ver 3.03). It saved
about 3.5 hours per WU.

Up to date hardware will do the same WU in 3 hours. 15% of 3 hours is just
a few minutes but its still 15%.

Roy Bamford
