done.. aborted 973 of them all with dates between the 13th and 19th. until im sure my cache level is gonna be ok im keeping it at 1 day.. vlars are now down to 164 with most dates in may so that is not a problem :)

does boinc/seti-app support ATI Radeon cards yet? if so anyone have any performance results compared to nvidia? i have been looking at reviews and comparisons but outside of gaming graphs very little is to the point for this specific application.
what is dissapointing is the performance of the fermi cards compared to a gtx285 outside of gaming. the TDP is horrendously high for the performance points you appear to get.. until i see one actually in use in this application to compare average time differences i still tend to lean to the gtx285. the gtx470 isnt bad for TDP and is mildly higher than the 285 but the 480 appears to be a power hog for what it appears to give back.
the radeon cards appear to outperform nvidia in gaming and TDP but how do they compare when processing workunits?

ok this is driving me insane :)
does anyone know where the boinc_client gui stores its list of computers in its pulldown? i have a mess of old ones in there and cannot find where it keeps them. i did a search in the /var/lib/boinc dir for the names of a few of the computers.. nothing... searched /etc, tried a locate for boinc and nothing shows up.

On linux :
Look for ".BOINC Manager" and in there the section starting with "[Compter MRU]" should contain what you are searching.

Yes fermi seems a flop (for what it asks anyway). Unless it is proven otherwise, better to wait for fermi2. Till then a gtx295 still remains king for seti I think.
The problem with ati is inferior drivers (at least for linux) and inferior features and development tools for GPU computing.
