SETI@home question

[train22]

Is SETI@HOME really the best o/c software? I mean I know it seems to use 100% CPU but I never suspected we'd be using this, I thought there would be software made specificly made for o/c. So the best way to test is run Prime95 on toture mode and then start SETI while Prime95 is running?

What's the best way to burn in?

Running Prime 95 in torture mode will take almost 100% of the CPU cycles. Seti wants all available cycles. If you run Prime 95 in torture mode - running Seti is useless.
