hows it going I have 2 machines crunching: and ice ibook and a biege G3 running at 500mhz. I have 28 units completed in 717hours. Is htis normal I see these people with 10,000 units completed. Do they have 10,000 computers crunching 24/7 or what not a big deal just wondering.

This is SETI, btw.

It seems a bit slow, can you give me more details?

717 hours / 28 units = 25.6 hours/unit. On average.
I get about 16 hours on my iMac 500.
You should get about the same on your G3, dunno about the icebook.

There arre a whole bunch of ways to speed up your WU times. Check the "Links" page at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/
Actual conversation between UCLA and Stanford during a login on early Internet - U: I'm going to type an L! Did you get an L? S: I got one-one-four. L! U:Did you get the O? S: One-one-seven. U: <types G> S: The computer just crashed.

The people who have 10,000+ units probably use CPU farms, supercomputers, and the like.

Or they are nutty people like me who just keep going. I'll hit 10K eventually, and I've got just one comp going right now.

Some of us build computers just for crunching, too.
