scubaduderon:
I used to run the old command line seti program. I have just installed the boinc version. I now see your optimized apps.

Is it necessary to uninstall the current boinc version before I insall yours?

What version is correct for a Winxp HE box with a core 2 duo?

Do I just follow the simple instructions you have included near the download or do I have go follow the
instructions included in "How to make your own optimized Seti@Home client for Windows"?

Thank you,
Scuiba

Simon:
Hiya,

since you're using a Core 2 Duo, this version is the one I'd recommend.

Also, yes, you can just use the "simple" instructions included with the downloads, you don't have to compile it on your own if you don't want to ;)

HTH,
Simon.

scubaduderon:
Thank you, I'll give it a go.

scubaduderon:
O.K. I'm cooking the program you suggested. Now how can I tell if I'm getting maximal result? When I look at the task manager it says that each program is running at 50% cpu. It seems faster, but how can I be sure?

Are these clues?

Simon:
That's normal.

Remember, 2x 50% is 100% too ;)

Simon.
