Help me pick a new DC project...

[Athlex]

I need something new to occupy my bored computer now that ECCp-109 is done. I find I'm not sucking up all my CPU cycles with games, so I need to soak 'em up with some DCing. I'm doing a little OGR, but I'm rather cold on d.net/UD, so I'm looking for something else. Can anyone reccomend any to me? I'm pretty familiar with SETI, but perhaps a D²OL/F@H/G@H/GIMPS veteran could give a little info...
Thanks- Go TeAm!

edit: d'oh, time to update the .sig too!

Right now, the projects that seem to need the help the most are DF, Folding@Home and Community TSC. I put a summary of the health projects in here

I hope it helps, but if you need more info, please feel free to PM me

well, pretty much whatever you do, keep UD running, it normally takes a lower priority and seeing as points are awarded based on how long it takes to complete a WU you don't have to do too much to keep your points happy. I have found it works very well with SETI. It's been a long time since I ran D2OL, but I didn't like that client very much, I'm sure it is much better now, but I wouldn't be great source of info on the other projects. Keep in mind BBR is still a threat to the SETI team and we ahve chance to advance a few places before years end if we can keep up the pace. Hope this helped.

My advice is either SETI or D2OL.. both of those are my favourite!

I'm leaning a leeetle towards G@H since it doesn't seem to be very network intensive. DF and CommunityTSC look pretty interesting too. Keep the suggestions coming- it's interesting to see what everyone here is running.

DF all the way! We're such a small team that every contributor is highly appreciated. There, my 1st recruiting post.

 

[GhettoFob]

Give DF or D2OL a try.

 

[Athlex]

I think I've settled on folding something. Checking out F@H/G@H/DF now...

If folding is your thing than DF is the way to go IMHO.

Any advantage to one or the other? I'm not too familiar with either.
I found another project to contribute to as well (didn't even know we had a team for it!)

Another plug for DF!

Go DF, Go!

I will recommend Folding@Home. Our F@H team hasn't been doing too well lately, with production dropping off so that we will be passed soon. We'd appreciate any help we can get.

Do the DF thingy!

I see you are a 2k man..... DF runs as a service and backs out of the way of everything I have ever run. I even ran 3Dmark2001se and lost less than 100 marks (out of about 7500)

If you want to watch it, there is a great GUI available.

PM me if you want more


GO TeAm DF

Join our D2OL team! Keep the snowball rolling

 

[InverseOfNeo]

Is there a proxy for D2OL? I just switched over from OGR.

 

[TOOCOOL]

TSC but only if you care for children if not do something else

Very true. I run UD on all my rigs beside any other DC project I'm running.
