There will be a new cruncher added to the farm soon: my new job will be supplying me with a laptop!

I am not sure which one it will be yet, but the boss just ordered a new 1ghz Cellie Toshiba and he has to decide if he wants the hassle of transferring all of his data to it or not- I, of course, hope NOT!

The other one is 700 or 800 mhz, I think, so even that one won't be too shabby!

It won't be crunching full time since at times I'll be driving and so forth, but you gotta know that power management will be set to "never shut anything off when on ac power"! And the hdd and cpu will be that way on battery too, I expect!

Crunching closer to the top every day

Update: Thank heaven for lazy bosses!

I got the 1ghz Celeron!

Seti is crunching now, power management is set to maximize crunching.

I wonder what effect this will have on battery life- anyone have any idea?

I have a toshiba laptop that I run seti on, and it doesn't really effect it at all. Mine lasts for well over 1 hour and 30 minutes.

I meant more like long term: will keeping the laptop running all the time be noticeably bad for the battery?

well, i've been running SETI almost 24/7 on my GF's laptop for almost 2 months now. most people said it would have much, if any, affect to the laptop itself. however, if running on battery, it does suck up battery power big time!
