Hi all,

Question #1 - What can I disable/enable to lean out my 9.1 iMac so it runs S@H the fastest.

Question #2 - Can I use something to blank the screen or shut the monitor down without putting the beast to sleep?

Just put in 256MB RAM and wanted to lean out my iMac for S@H. WinX had the CLI version and it seems Macintosh Classic has nothing like that.

I've got most panels and extensions disabled as I don't use the iMac for much other than browsing, email and irc.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Must be something wrong here...I'm at 53% and 25 hours I had a screensaver going for a bit that slowed it down...and didn't windowshade..but this is a bit bad 50 hours for a WU is not good I did all the optimizations I could..thanks for the URL reader 50

Back when S@H started I had a 200Mhz PI MMX that did a WU in 22 hours. I know 3.03 is slower than ver 1.0, but unless I can do something it's not worth the electricity to run the thing.

So are my results correct or do I have something slowing me down?

TIA

Sounds about right if the machine is used at all.
SETI@Home is so poorly optimized it won't satisfy you.
Try runnign OS X and then doing Folding@home or RC5.
